Magical Zambia
Zambia between 31 Aug 2018 and 9 Sep 2018
"The trip was magical, a real bucket list holiday.
We were very happy with the thoroughness of the preparation and efficiency with which Lucy planned and booked our trip.
She was always available to answer our questions and her enthusiasm for Zambia and these two lodges added to the wonderful anticipation of our trip.
The only negative were the amount of tsetse flies.....the game rangers most willingly created a fire at the back of the vehicle using elephant dung and this was a great help !"

Three Rivers Camp

Arrived
4 Sep 2018
"Three Rivers was absolutely wonderful. The fact that it only accommodates 10 people and that the 9 of us filled the camp was very special.
The close proximity to the Elephant coming to the watering hole was an incredible experience.
The food was SUPERB.
The rooms were beautiful and the highlight was sleeping on the sky bed, under the stars. It was wonderful hearing the sounds of animals grazing on the other side of the canvas tent.
TJ was a wonderful and enthusiastic host, who took the safety of his guests very seriously, much appreciated.
The staff were all extremely friendly.
The walking safari was also a wonderful experience."

Arrived
7 Sep 2018
"Kafunta has a most splendid location, overlooking the plain, what a sight to behold on arrival.
The accommodation was superb and very comfortable.
The staff went out of their way to do all they could to make our stay memorable.....changing the lunch venue to a treehouse was a wonderful surprise, the cooked breakfast on the day of departure and even a packed lunch for our travels home.
The staff were all extremely friendly.
The food was wonderful ( except for two mains....the tbone steak and salmon trout were overcooked and tough )
Their muesli is heavenly.
The game drives were heavenly and Chapuma and John were phenomenally knowledgable.
Anelle and Dottie so very friendly, helpful and capable."
