"great trip which we will remember over and above our other safari trips in Africa for the quality and variety of the animals, the staff at the camps and the Vic Falls hotel.
We will also remember the great support provided by Lucy Copson when things went a little off schedule - that was really appreciated in a difficult period."

"loved this camp - great spacious rooms and the staff were great. A couple of minor things - no flashlight was provided in the room as in other camp as Tena Tena - this would have been a useful addition.
The food was not as plentiful as Tena Tena - more of a nouveau cuisine style of cooking which while fine was not necessarily to everyones taste. The wines could use an expansion and there was limited choice - no pinotage was disappointing.
Guides John was amazing and we saw amazing scenes including a leopard trying to bring down an impala, leopard eating an antelope in a tree, jackals and vultures fighting over what remained of a buffalo while the lions slinked away having eaten most of it. Not to mention a pride of 14 lions."

"loved this hotel - reminded me of the Norfolk in Nairobi.
Wont forget the sight of baboons swarming the building early in the morning before the security guards could get organized and chase them off. Good food and fine South African wines - great staff and great service - an amazing breakfast buffet the like of which I have never seen anywhere else."

Everything was well organized."
