Travel reviews by Mrs M from chorleywood

"Overall, the flight to get to the camps was tiring - around 24 hours from my front door to arrive at camp. However, once there, I felt welcomed and looked after.

Both camps offered something slightly different although going into the same park. I was lucky to have the safari vehicle to myself for 5 of the 8 days and had amazing leopard sightings and night drive. Any time I asked for anything - leaving slightly earlier for drive, visiting local school (although I found out it was school holidays, a teacher showed me the buildings etc and driver showed me round a village), it was accommodated easily.

I think it is worth noting that you have to climb down steps cut in the bank to reach the boat - might not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues - I was fine.

I did feel that there was a lot of waste when I was the only one in camp and a full buffet breakfast was prepared - perhaps if this is the case they could ask the night before if there is a special request for the next day - for example I could have said no to porridge and toast so that chef didn't have to get up especially!

Having been on safari many times before, I am aware of how lovely the camps are and what a special place Luangwa is.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really - I had good detailed emails while we planned the trip and I sorted out my flights etc.
All went as planned and wildlife was fantastic."
