Zambia - amazing country
Zambia between 19 Oct 2012 and 31 Oct 2012
"Zambia was amazing and I would highly recommend it to people who want to go on safari in Africa.
Expert put together a great trip for us. Everything was so well arranged, we didn't have to think or worry about anything from the time we arrived to the time we left.
Robin Pope Safaris are a great company. They have everything planned and thought out for you. The staff are amazing, from the hosts to the guides to the chefs and the waiting staff. No stone is left unturned. You are made to feel totally at home when you arrive at the camp. I travelled with my parents and for them it was a trip of a life time. They didn't know what to expect so were totally blown away when they arrived.
Thanks to everyone for a great holiday

Tena Tena
"Luxury tented accommodation"
3 nights
Arrived
22 Oct 2012
"Tena Tena was a nice change to Nkwali. The tents are amazing. One negative aspect would be the distance some of the tents are from the main reception / bar area. But lovely remote area and you really feel like you are away from it all. Food was amazing.
Staff again was so helpful."

Nsefu
"Favourite place of the safari"
2 nights
Arrived
25 Oct 2012
"I loved Nsefu - would have liked to spend a few more days there. The atmosphere was really nice and relaxing. The staff again were lovely and the food amazing. The little houses was great and so comfortable. The bar area is a lovely place to just chill out and watch all the animals come and go. Totally relaxing. Absolutely loved it.
Kanga was our guide and he was brilliant. We did an early morning drive to see the sun rise which was fab. And we had the nicest cooked breakfast out in the bush."

Avani Victoria Falls
"Good reasonable priced place to stay"
3 nights
Arrived
27 Oct 2012
"Rooms were very nice as is the pool area. Dining options are not great. We eat in the hotel restaurant the first night at the buffet but we found the quality of the food very poor for the price charged. The other 2 nights we eat in a different restaurant located at the conference centre.
The food was much better here and not as expensive"
