"Our amazing trip - WOW!"
We had the best holiday ever, everything about it from the booking, the flights and pick ups, the accommodations, food, animal experiences and staff - we cannot fault anything or anyone - just perfect.

"My May 2024 trip"
It was very easy to communicate with Maruska, I lost count of the many emails back and forth.
Just before final payment was due our first camp communicated rather vaguely about a change of operations there. Maruska and Chris put in a lot of effort to find out what exactly was going on and how if would affect are stay.
Working with a company that has its feet on the ground in Africa and knows the operators personally was really an advantage here. Eventually we had to change camps because of the situation but that was handled very swiftly." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

Africa is magical and if you are thinking of going, you will not regret it. This was my third time and I will go back. We have many amazing memories of the landscape, people and animals that we will carry with us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"My Oct 2023 trip"
Then to Lower Zambezi NP . Again the combination of main camp and bush camp run by same family worked very well .
The heat was pretty challenging at times. Temperatures in high 30’s - early 40’s most of the trip. We were well advised about this of course but it’s def worth mentioning. The only way to cool down a little is to wrap a wet a kikoy around you at night 👍🏻😊" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Our Oct 2023 trip"
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" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 20 on a Zambia safari

Again a million thanks for all Claire's work in advance of the trip, and Amanda's help "in situ" on October 1st-both re the lost baggage and the medical help + getting hold of a doctor in Lusaka, in record time- 45 minutes!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"
All went well but it would have been helpful to have the "hard copies" of Precision Air as there were glitches on their end. They had no record of us going on after Lusaka (right city??). We made it. And... All's well that ends well but we were put-on the wrong plane from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro and they sent us to Arusha (along with another couple).
Precision Air then put us on another flight to Kilimanjaro but we missed most of our time at the lodge in Kilimanjaro before going on to Nairobi. We both decided that we would have skipped the Nairobi jaunt and gone from another city. Just FYI" Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
