My Oct 2024 trip
Zambia between 20 Oct 2024 and 28 Oct 2024
The wildlife was amazing but three days in the final lodge was the wrong call by Expert Africa. And seeing wild dogs was amazing although we had to insist on being taken to where they were, this should have been obvious to the guide."

A really welcoming, vibrant, energetic feel to the camp. We were especially impressed with the staff here, the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and Max the host did an incredible job.
We were really made to feel cared for and at home."

"Nsefu review"
Lacked a spirit of generosity and warmth certainly not as relaxing and homely. The host here was certainly not as welcoming. The game drives weren’t as interesting, there were far fewer animals, the guides not as friendly or as enthusiastic and it was a pity we stayed here the longest. Knowing that we were desperate to see wild dogs it was a pity that we had to plead with a guide to drive us out to view them once they had luckily been spotted.
Certainly not a place we would particularly recommend. Couldn’t move around the rooms easily when the mosquitoe nets were down, rooms were too small, we were changing in the bathroom!! and staff definitely not as friendly.
Certainly not value for money and certainly not a place wanted to stay at for three days. Would not recommend."

Tisi our host, went to great lengths to make us feel welcome including a special meal on the first night to celebrate my retirement. Including personal notes from the lodge team and complimentary sparkling wine. An extremely thoughtful touch and much appreciated.
A generous and friendly camp vibe with the host leading by example."
