Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Another excellent trip and with the exception of the minor issue at Lusaka extremely well organised. All three camps were of the highest standard and we would recommend them without reservation. Each of the camps brought its own unique slant on the vists to Zambia and we would have no hesitation in coming back to this country for another safari.

All aspects of the 10 days were excellent, the food, accomdation, game drives, activities but especially the people we met made it a very special trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Keep doing what you are doing, you are obviously very good at it. Not having been to Zambia before we relied heavily on Anna's recommendation as regards locations for the game parks, but the selection of camps was based on these feedback forms so they certainly helped to determine which camps we came to choose."

"Fantastic trip - it was like having 3 seperate holidays as all bases and locations were so different. For a relatively short trip (10 days) we couldn't have asked for more!

My only regret is having read comments about how cold it is at this time of year we packed warmer things.....we still were very cold and could have done with winter jackets." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"the balance of a week in the peaks at Robin Pope Camps in South Lunganga and six night at sausage tree was just right and provided good value.

Pioneer Camp would have been fine when the weather was hot but not during the coldest month of the year. it was a sad end to a wonderful trip and as cost wasnt an issue for this night then poor advice from you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"We enjoyed every moment of our trip to South Luangwa & Lake Malawi and are left with some wonderful memories & over 1400 photographs to sort through. Expert Africa's travel arrangements were faultless and the help given in planning our trip very knowledgeable. This was our second trip with Expert Africa and we would certainly recommend them and will use them again.

We have stayed in excellent camps and would recommend Robin Pope & The Bushcamp company equally. The game viewing was excellent and the hospitality everywhere was beyond expectations.

The weather in late June was not too hot during the day and not too cold at night, couldn't have been better." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"We both thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and were sorry to leave.

Would love to go back again as the whole experience was fantastic especially the walking and the treatment by the fantastic staff and guides at all the bush camps." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"From our first enquiry (taken by Anna) to our return home, your company's arrangement were faultless and comprehensive. Our bush camp experience exceeded all possible expectations and we would recommend the Bushcamp Company without reservation.
We appreciate that BA is the only airline serving Lusaka, but we would have reservations about flying with them again.

As we have said in the feedback, the Pioneer Camp was disappointing - perhaps there are better alternatives.

We think this feedback form is fantastic. Many times we have taken the trouble to write to other comapanies after a trip, and we never get evan an acknowledgement, and get the feeling they don't really want it. You obviously do. We shall certainly consider travelling with you again, and have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"We had a super time - the second week was memorable in so many ways. As a result, we hope to return in 2011.

"We really cannot fault any aspect of our safari.

We have been to Zambia on a number of occasions since 1998 and to say we have fallen in love with the country would be an understatement.The people the country and the wildlife have to be experienced.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:.

None. Just keep up the service which we cannot fault." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"We had a great holiday.

We've never used an agency before. The Wilderness Safari and Sefofane linkage is, generally, so smooth it’s unbelievable. From the moment we arrived at our first stop, in Livingstone, we were whisked from point to point. Having travelled on our own for years, it was disconcertingly lovely to be told mid-afternoon that we'd be moving onto the next camp at, say, 11:30 - and just led by the hand. In itself that was a great luxury.

Having never been to southern Africa before, we were completely enchanted by the camps, wildlife and people." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"We had a truly fantastic holiday.

We were very impressed with Rob Clifford in the handling of my lost phone at Tena Tena. He came to Nsefu to talk to us about it and even offered to pay for a new one on our return. Happily, the phone was eventually found at Tena, but Rob's attitude to us as customers was wonderful.
