Our September 2017 trip to Zambia
Zambia between 21 Sep 2017 and 2 Oct 2017
"A huge thank you to Freddie and the team at Expert Africa for recommending the itinerary and then making sure everything worked like clockwork.
Arriving at Lusaka airport at the same time as another flight led to a rather full immigration queue but seeing our name on a board waved at the entrance took away any concerns about finding our way around.
This was our first trip to Africa and our first safari and I am sure that it won't be our last indeed we are already planning a trip next year (in our heads at the moment) but will certainly be coming back to Expert Africa to make it real."

Tena Tena
"A short walk from Nsefu...."
2 nights
Arrived
25 Sep 2017
"Our adventure continued at Tena Tena under the expert guidance of Nyambe, our guide, who helped us get close up and not quite personal with lions on the banks of the river.
The camp location was perfect and we were wonderfully looked after by Jenny and her team. Relaxing by our tent in the afternoon felt as if we were in amongst the animals as they wandered down to the river in front of us.
Our safari in South Luanga finished here but we resolved to return as soon as we can to see the park after the wet season."

Chongwe River Camp
"The Zambezi below us"
4 nights
Arrived
27 Sep 2017
"As we flew in to Royal airstrip we could see the Zambezi below us stretching far into the distance.
Chongwe River Camp was the location that prompted our trip to Zambia and we were not disappointed by the camp or by the spectacle of the river as it flowed in front of us.
We were privileged to be guided by Ronald who not only was the font of knowledge about the park and its animals but was also a highly engaging companion on our trips on the river, to the local village and through the park.
The team at the camp made us extremely welcome."

We were incredibly lucky to see a huge variety of wildlife both close to the river and in the bush, no doubt down to the skills of our wonderful guide Pius.
We also experienced the amazing sight and sound of elephants walking around the camp at night eating the leaves in front of us as we sat in the dark on the veranda in front of our room."
