Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs J from Dyfed
Norman Carr 2012
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 15-Jun-2012 and 24-Jun-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Excellent
Any concerns about a return trip not living up to expectations were ill founded. Every bit as good as last year but also different.
As ever a very warm welcome from everyone there in all the camps and this was much appreciated.
One note, just a day before we arrived the currency switched from dollars to kwachas only, this wasn't a problem as there was an ATM at Lusaka airport. This does mean that taxes etc must now be paid in Kwachas.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

More than a holiday
On this trip, I visited Zambia between 19-Jun-2011 and 30-Jun-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Excellent
Unforgettable! Even now we are finding it difficult to assimilate evrything we have seen and done. Everyone at the camps went out of their way to ensure that we enjoyed every aspect of our stay, for example on our way back to Mfuwe we had lunch at Kapani and a room was made available for our use which was much appreciated. Andrew our guide turned our last morning into a special experience instead of just a sad farewell.
Also much appreciated the help given at Lusaka airport on our arrival. Would also recommend a visit to Tribal Textiles, the tour of the workshop was particularly interesting.
To summarise, we both have had the experience of a lifetime and will remember all the lovely people we have met for a very long time.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
