Could not have wished for a better trip.

"What a trip! For my dad it was a one off.
I had hoped it would be a trip full of memories but it exceeded all expectation - thank you!"

"Lovely camp and we had agreat time. Game viewing was excellent.
All my previous game viewing experiences (over 12 years) packed into 4 days!.
Early morning trip out to salt pan was well worth while although heard of by way of mouth from previous travellers - not advertised in camp."

Nkwali
"A nice camp"
1 night
Arrived
18 Sep 2007
"only had one night here. The camp and accommodation is beautiful although having come from nsefu sector first it felt very much like your back to civilisation - Much more traffic as it is nearer park gate, overhead power lines and man made road surfaces/bridges.
In retrospect I think one night is too short a stay in any one camp although appreciate it was closer to the airport for flight the next morning."

Chongwe River Camp
"Wonderful camp site and staff"
2 nights
Arrived
21 Sep 2007
"Has to be one of the lovliest locations for a camp site. Would be a great experience without the addition of game.
A visit in september saw the constant attention of elephants in the camp to eat pods from the winterthorn trees. A very relaxed, warm and hospitable camp. Take it at the pace you want - lots of activities on land or water or just sit overlooking the river and let the game come to you!
Quality of food was excellent and probably the best of all the camps we experienced."

Avani Victoria Falls
"Large hotel but comfortable"
2 nights
Arrived
23 Sep 2007
"A large hotel with a mixture of clients from businessmen, south African 'weekenders' and tourits from many different countries.
Clearly different from the lodges previously visited or perhaps lodges upstream.
Neverthless made a change and I think I would do the same again."
