"We were not scheduled to go to Chitabe lodge however we were transferred there after it became clear that the Siba camp was unacceptable for a 3 day stay.

The chitabe camp was EXCELLENT. Our guide, Ebs, was fabulous. The game viewing was incredible and the location beautiful. The staff in general was very accomodating and friendly.

Expert Africa and Wilderness Safaris were both helpful in arranging this transfer from Siba to Chitabe."

"Savute Elephant Camp review"

2 nights Arrived 23 May 2009
"Incredible site (loved watching the elephants from our porch).

First guide - Phillip was unfriendly and rushed. They were accomodating to our request for a switch. Second guide - Axe was lovely. Took his time and explained many things.

The wildlife viewing was incredible."

"Seba Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 25 May 2009
"The camp was not officially open. It had been closed for 4-5 months for renovations and expansion.

The end of May was not a good time of the year to be there - the water was too high making it difficult to view the game."

"Zambezi Sun review"

2 nights Arrived 28 May 2009
"Excellent location. Somewhat cheezy but since we could use the facilities of the Royal Livingston, it was totally acceptable.

The breakfast was extensive and included in the price but lunch and dinner were on our own and unless we took a $10 taxi into town, VERY limited."
