Nkwali
"Nkwali review"
The cabin was v comfortable and on arrival I was delighted to be able to see monkeys, and a bush buck rights outside my door. It was very close to the river so you are able to hear the sound of hippos all day long. I hadn't realised just how abundant and diverse the wildlife would be - I had hoped that it would be a trip of a lifetime and it was.
All the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. They made it all feel relaxed but it's clear that a huge amount of work was going on to ensure that I had the best holiday experience. The food is excellent, the guides are incredibly knowledgable and wildlife - the stars of the show was beyond what I could have hoped for. Seeing two lioness up close is an experience that I'll never forget - utterly amazing."

"Tena Tena review"
All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made it all feel relaxed but it's clear that a huge amount of work was going on to ensure that I had the best holiday experience. The food was excellent, and the guides were incredibly knowledgable. Tena Tena felt remote and I didn't see many others vehicles. I don't know whether we were just lucky but we witnessed incredible wildlife interactions during our safaris - especially the wild dogs. To see these play out before us was incredibly special."

"Nsefu review"
The accommodation was comfortable and I loved that the wildlife was in the cabin itself - a wee lizard and the odd bat, with the Hippos bellowing away outside.
All the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They made it all feel relaxed but it was clear that they were working v hard to ensure that I had the best holiday experience. The food is excellent, the guides were incredibly knowledgable and wildlife was utterly amazing.
We were lucky to have quite a few leopards sightings. And to see one haul an antelope up a tree whilst the hyenas were excitedly laughed below was something very special."

Avani Victoria Falls
"Avani Victoria Falls review"
The Mois-oa-Tunya national park wasn't the best park that I visited but the walk with rhinos was v special. I also did the mircoflight over the falls which was utterly terrifying."
