Travel reviews by Mr GP from Manchester

"we arrived at camp still buzzing from the beatiful leopard sighting on the drive down from mfuwe ,after cold drinks and towels we were shown to our tents if you could call them tents because these rooms are fantastic spacious airy all facing a lagoon with resident hippos cros and a constant stream of animals and birds coming down to the water

the game viewing was very good with excellent lion leopard and honeybadger sightings plus all the other animals and birds. we just thought the guide peter was a bit cautious and by the book on the walks which is great if you havent been but if you have you got the feeling youd heard it all before having said that we do realise that he has to cater for all guests and writing this with the knowledge of what was to come perhaps were being a little unfair so sorry peter your still a great guide who gave us some great sightings

while people will no doubt go away from here raving about the rooms we feel the real star of the show was ed the camp manager a real friendly person great round camp and at meal times he makes all guests feel right at home if he dosnt mind us saying so a hugh grant type who people carnt help but like and want to return to spend some time with a great asset to the company thank you ed for making us feel so welcome"

"after chindeni we found the rooms here alittle dark but this this was more than made up for by the location having its own waterhole game is in and around the camp all day elephants pass through and drink within yards of your room or the bar great for photos ,fisheagles,kingfishers,the resident moniter lizard who we watched catching frogs within a couple of feet of us mean you could just stay in camp and still see plenty .

the walks with the guide manda are excellent a rearly interesting man with a great knowledge and passion for his countrys history and culture finding ancient sites with bits of pottery and iron from early smelting plus learning how plants are used for medicines and sometimes witchcraft make you almost forget your here to see the wildlife .but the game veiwing here was fantastic cats every day plus everything else and the sight of a troop of baboons chaseing a male leopard in broard daylight just as we were setting off for a walk is one we will never forget

there was a slight problem with the food one night due to a spillage of fuel during transportation some things tasted of parrafin but this was soon sorted out by the very able manager mike and did not detract from our stay in any way. we had a great time at billi and would recommend it to anyone."

"everything about this camp oozes class the hosts babette and phil ,the food the staff are all top drawer lions with tiny cubs giant eagle owls feet above your head leopard ,hyenyas to order a massave eagle with a baby baboon in its talons , 7 porcupines in one day i could go on but dont have to this camp sells its self if your coming to zambia stay here you wont be dissapointed

thank you babette and phil for the best safari weve ever had"

"a great way to spend our last two nights top rooms with great veiws good food and rearly friendly helpful staff a theme which was true of all the camps the area around the lodge is heaveing with game although you will get a few more vechicles when the cats are sighted which is every time you go out it dosnt spoil what is a fantastic game veiwing experence

ideal place to stay at the start or finish of a bushcamp safari"

"good hotel for one night stopover did everything it said on the tin pick up on time ,nice room ,excellent room service and food breakfast ready at five as stated transport to airport may be a touch early but people on the bus were on an earlier flight to joburg so that could be the reason

a nice rest before flight home"
