Our Oct 2023 trip
Zambia between 17 Oct 2023 and 8 Nov 2023
"Absolutely loved each park.
Would not recommend Zambia to first time safari goers as game viewing can be a little slow. However that gave our guides the opportunity to tell us about other things giving a more rounded experience"

30 Oct 2023
"Camp was in a great location and our guide was excellent.
Despite taking all sensible precautions, we were both badly bitten on faces and body whilst asleep (more than 20 each on our faces)
This did not endear us to the camp."

"Amazing camp and environment. Staff very attentive.
They liked surprising us eg the opportunity to sleep under the stars after our quad bike ride and dinner in the bush. Would have loved it if I had known and come prepared with contact lens paraphernalia."

Hosts were good as was the food.
Not giving excellent rating because one of us fell from deck when the railing came off almost into the river!"
