The most amazing safari experience
Zambia between 30 Sep 2012 and 11 Oct 2012
"Amazing. We never thought it could possibly be this good. We just couldn't believe that our holiday got better and better as we moved from camp to camp.
Right from the start, being met even before going through immigration and carefully ushered through all the formalities, changing currency, domestic air taxes, etc. right to the departure gate for Proflight.
On arrival Mfuwe,we were met by Norman Carr Safaris and taken care of thereafter.
There was always a welcome at each camp - cool cloth, drinks, and friendly staff. The guides were superb, exceptionally knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with. We learned so much from them.
We were also impressed with the fact that all the staff introduced themselves, and remembered our names throughout our stay.
The food was magnificent at all the camps, and we loved the freshly baked bread and cakes. Morning coffee in the bush and sundowners, too.
We enjoyed the walks between camps, the morning treks and evening drives, and were overcome by the number of animals - we didn't go looking for them - they were all around us, and even in the camps at times.
This holiday surpassed all our expectations. We would thoroughly recommend it to others"

"Once more, another wonderful camp with great walking.
However, if Norman Carr advertise a plunge pool, it must be kept clean and be filtered regularly - it didn't look attractive covered in leaves and dead insects."
