Good guides and good game viewing."

Pole Pole
"Pole Pole review"
I was surprised snorkling was only available by going on a boat trip rather than straight off the lodge beach."

Stirring & Stimulating Safari
Zambia between 19 Sep 2008 and 4 Oct 2008
A hundred praises and just three moans: 1. That flight! 2. We had chosen a very hot period, a month or so earlier would have been better. 3. The tsetse were a pain. (I don't think EA could have done anything about any of the three!!!)
Suggestions for improvement:
I wish safaris were cheaper!!! We love to go every year - Sand Rivers Selous next?
Keep up the good work!"

Nkwali
"Exhilarating Nkwali"
Game watching from the jetty was already superb, especially the elephants. Our guide, Jacob, was absolutely excellent and extremely knowledgeable - we had very good fun with him and enjoyed his "hippo" laugh too!"

Tena Tena
"Delights from the two Tenas"
Prince found us the eland at last! Lovely location and very fine game watching, including fascinating night drives (we loved the honey badger).
I'm sorry the fruit bats which invaded out tent were not allowed to stay, but can well understand why!"

Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp
"Walking with lions"
We all loved "wandering" amongst the lions, elephants, etc. right down to the elephant shrew. But I never did see the oh so audible wood owls, very melodiously canoodling above us in camp. I much appreciated Debs going out of her way to find a chameleon for me."

Nsefu
"Picturesque Nsefu"
Sebastian served us well, the highlight was the visit to the salt pan and finding the serval and solitary Cookson's Wildebeest (we still feel sorry for his loneliness!).
Sad to leave the Luangwa valley with all its glories."

Chongwe River Camp
"On the banks of two rivers"
Richman was an absolutely outstanding guide with deep knowledge and a lovely way of telling us about the wilds of Zambia. He enthralled us with his comments about the animals and birds - guides don't come any better whether in a vehicle or a canoe.
Rob and Storm were absolutely outstanding hosts, warm and full of life. We had a wonderful time there and could hardly bear to leave."
Excellent vehicles and boats, but other camps do have a swimming pool!"
