Robin Pope Safaris Mobile Safari Camp
"Walking safari in South Luangua"
5 nights
Arrived
11 Aug 2013
"We really, really enjoyed this experience and would like to do it all over again starting tomorrow!
Our guide, Bertram, was outstanding. The whole team of staff worked hard and well together to deliver a very high quality of service. The set-up, tents and positioning of the camps was perfect and the quality of the food was exceptional - more so because they produced an entirely wheat free menu including cakes baked in the earth oven!
On balance, we would have preferred to have walked a bit further each day and not to have been picked up in the jeep after sun-downers each evening (ie to have ended the evening walks in the camps).
The drive to the walking area on the first day was the least enjoyable bit of the whole experience but this should be read in context of us having had a wonderful overall experience: 4 hours in an enclosed vehicle with a choice of sweltering with windows closed (aircon not working) or attack from numerous tsetses coming in the windows."

"Animals and birds abound at Tena Tena"
4 nights
Arrived

"Our guide, Bertram, was outstanding. He was very knowledgeable and suited us well as he was happy to find good spots then just sit and wait and watch and enjoy the wildlife - for up to an hour at a time.
There is so much wildlife to see and numerous beautiful spots not far from the camp. We very much appreciated the overall respect for the wildlife - ie no chasing or speeding or off-roading or parking very close."
