Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"What can one say! The trip exceeded my expectations. There are sights and sounds I will never forget.

Photos just can't do the country justice.

None that I can think of." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"We were blown away by the skill nd knowledge of the safari guides and their willingness to teach and passion for the world in which they live. We had a wonderful adventure with lots of very special memories to remeber Africa by.

Two of the Camps we stayed in were exceptional given the constraints within Zambia and Botswana. Our only concerns are captured in the previous comments in this questionnaire." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"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.

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.
