Luwanga trip
Zambia between 28 Sep 2019 and 9 Oct 2019
"A good balance between locations, walkinig and driving safaris.
It fulfilled our brief.
We didn't thoroughly read the travel information until the last moment. This meant hurried purchase of soft luggage which worked well."

"Alex is an extremely competent manager, charming host and very knowledgable guide. He would be stretched without support when the camp expands.
Our favourite camp.
As with the other walking camps one is at the mercy of the other few guests. We had 1 night at Crocodile Camp with guests we didn't really like. Three nights here with them would have spoilt everything. It is the luck of the draw and we were lucky. We had morning walks and evening drives which suited us fine. Several guests at the other camps (who could have visited here) would not have wanted to walk. This would pose a problem with only one guide."

Sightings report
Excellent guiding. Dining adequate but nothing special. Accommodation was excellent with river view. Would not have wanted a tent without a view.
Being outside the park was not a drawback at all as it was very close to the gate."
