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?" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"A thoroughly enjoyable holiday"
""
The locations were spectacular, the wildlife encounters outstanding and the standard of accommodation, service and hospitality first class.
The abiding memory of this holiday will, of course, be the wildlife. We were fortunate enough to see many memorable things including: several successful hunts by lions, 2 prides of lions disputing territory and a kill, leopards, large herds of buffalo and elephants at (very) close quarters, etc, etc. Due to the locations of the camps being deep within the National Park(s), none of these sightings were shared with large numbers of tourists. At no time were the lions outnumbered by the tourists and on the vast majority of occasions ours, with 6 guests, was the only vehicle present; there were never more than 2 vehicles at any sighting at the same time.
This was a truly memorable experience, our thanks go to all who made it possible.

"Another excellent trip"
Our very positive impression of the company was further enhanced when Ellie came up and introduced herself at Lusaka airport having by chance spotted the luggage labels - many would have just kept there heads down and got on with their own business.
We met many not travelling with you who had admired/used your website but then gone elsewhere and had some minor issues - we suspect some will soon become clients..." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 19 on a Zambia safari
