Expert Africa & Robin Pope Safari
Zambia between 31 Aug 2011 and 8 Sep 2011
"On return we could not fault the advice and guidance we were given by Lucy at Expert Africa.
The Robin Pope Safari experience was of a very high standard with the quality of guiding and camps expertly selected. The transfers were all very well done with no lost time as these are treated as being part of the driving safari experience. The camps hostess and the good humour of the guides ensured that the visit was good fun all the way through.
We could not fault the techinical knowledge of the camp guides and they certainly added to the experience.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Whole trip was completely faultless and ran totally trouble free so sorry but can't make any good suggestions here!"

Nsefu
"Nsefu review"
2 nights
Arrived
3 Sep 2011
"View from the room over the river was excellent with regular visitors including elephants coming down to drink.
Highlight was joining lions out on a hunt at night with good lion sightings most days.
No leopards was the only dissappointment
We walked fron Nsefu to Tena Tena which was an easy 3 1/2 hour stroll. This was interesting and made a nice change to the jeeps."

Tena Tena
"Tena Tena review"
2 nights
Arrived
5 Sep 2011
"Disappointment here is that camp overlooks a wide dry part of the river so there is no view of the animals drinking or of the river. We understand the camp is moving for next season.
Highlight at Tena Tena was leopard pinned up a tree by baboons in daylight. Night sightings of hyena and honey badger were also great to see. Lions and elephants also seen so overall game viewing was very good for us.
Bathroom areas overun with ants which needed regular Raid sprays to keep under control, just a hazard of the outdoor life really!"

Pioneer Camp
"Pioneer Camp review"

Arrived

"For an overnight stop the close location to the airport was good though we were surprised to be on dirt roads for most of the journey as the camp is out in the countryside.
The chalet was smart, clean and spacious and bar/restaurant had a bit of good character with reasonably priced drinks. Pioneer arranged the transfers perfectly and collected and delivered bags to our chalet.
Not to the standards of service as the safari camps but perfectly OK."

Highlights were 2 leopard sightings. The welcome in the camp from Harriet and Kiki made us feel instantly at home and relaxed afetr the journey.
Lowlights were not seeing lions and the relatively low numbers of game."
