"Our trip was amazing!
Lucy could not have done a better job of meeting our needs. Her knowledge of the camps allowed her to help us make choices that would be good for us.
If she didn't have the information, she would find a colleague who did.
Everything was seamless."

"Action and Cassie were spectacular! This lodge was the highlight of our trip.
I really appreciated how personable the staff were. They used our names while we were there, which made us feel very welcome.
On our trip from the airstrip to the lodge we saw hippos, a leopard, zebra, giraffe, water buck, baboons, and elephants. It was a magical experience. Action's excitement and passion for the animals was infectious and made the trip wonderful."

The lodge is about 30 minutes down a dirt road, but the resulting vistas are well worth it. The black eagle talk and the dancing were highlights. I would not recommend the curio market. It was a bit too high pressure and we ended up spending more money that we wanted to.
Starting at Victoria Falls was a great way to begin our trip.
The helicopter operators preferred cash. In general, bring ones and fives for tips even if you plan to give more overall. It is hard for the locals to use a twenty dollar bill."
