Fantastic trip!
Zambia between 13 Oct 2010 and 24 Oct 2010
"Everything ran very smoothly – we were very well looked after and didn't have to worry about any of the transfers at all. However the transfer from Lusaka to Royal Airstrip was a bit confusing as you arrive in Lusaka after overnight flight to near chaos in Lusaka airport. But we had been in the area before.
Overall we expected a repeat of our last trip which had been amazing – we were not disappointed
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
SmaIl comment - I think pictures depicting the rooms at the lodges should include all standards to avoid disappointment on arrival – all brochures and lodge websites show the honeymoon suite! And all tents at Chiawa [except the honeymoon tent] were superior, superior to what?"

Chiawa Camp
"Another great time at Chiawa"
4 nights
Arrived
17 Oct 2010
"Chiawa was known to us – but under different management – and the camp has been very successfully upgraded without losing its unique atmosphere. Loved the dinner on the island at full moon, brilliant idea and well managed. The canoeing was a great experience. All the guides v knowledgeable and good company. Well done Steve and Lyn.
The bath was badly positioned in the room- you couldn't get past it from that side of the bed. The outside shower not easy to get to – because the netting of the tent needed to be secured at all times and that was also difficult to open."

Tongabezi
"Lovely relaxing time at Tongebezi"
2 nights
Arrived
21 Oct 2010
"Finally Tongebezi where we had a two nights r+r, and it really was – in an amazing position on the banks of the Zambezi - although the mosi net could have been more effective it was torn with holes in it – not so good, but apart from that small grumble the rest was great.
The highlight was the trip to Livingstone island and the devils pool a completely unique experience of the falls!"
