Our holiday of a lifetime in July 2012

Zambia between 13 Jul 2012 and 28 Jul 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"We had the most wonderful holiday and we could not get over how helpful and charming everybody was, from when we first started to plan our holiday to our return home. The accommodation and food was excellent where ever we went, including the village lunch and we were made to feel that all the guides really cared about us having a good time and getting to see everything. All our transfers were well organised and well driven!

I would highly recommend going to see the Victoria Falls, taking the longer helicopter ride (30 minutes) over it as you then fly down the gorges which is very exciting and helps you understand the formation of the landscape. The buffet breakfast at the Royal Livingston Hotel is also an experience not to be missed.

All the Zambians we met were so genuinely friendly we can not wait to return."

Luangwa River Camp

Luangwa River Camp

"Fantastic experiences at Luangwa River Camp"

3 nights Arrived 14 Jul 2012
"We had the most fantastic trip to the Luangwa River Camp this summer from the moment we were picked up by our guide Freddie, to when we moved on to our next camp. The position of the camp is amazing and our room could not have been more comfortable. I do not think I have ever seen such a spectacular bathroom. Sebastian and his team really went out of their way to ensure we had a good time and saw a wide variety of animals and birds.

Whilst at the camp we went on a tour of a local village and school which was very moving and educational, particularly for our fourteen year old who is now trying to arrange for some books to be sent to them. We felt very humbled by this experience and the hospitality shown by Constantine and his family was enjoyed and appreciated.

The safari vehicles were very comfortable and our most memorable viewing was being underneath a leopard eating an impala up a tree, being circled by two hyenas and two younger leopards all hoping for some leftovers.

The only useful tip I wish I had known was to have my hat and suncream available on arrival at the airport for the drive to the camp."

Tafika

Tafika

"Tremendous Tafika"

4 nights Arrived 17 Jul 2012
"Tafika was the second camp we stayed at and again we had the most amazing time. The food was some of the best I have ever eaten anywhere let alone in the middle of nowhere. I feel we learnt so much about all the animals and plants that we saw and Armand's knowledge was extraordinary. I am frightened of heights but felt I had to go up in the microlight and am so glad i did, swooping over the country was an experience I will never forget.

We also went on two walking safaris with Brian which were brilliant, although I was a little disconcerted to discover we would be better in the river with crocodiles and hippos rather than facing an angry elephant!

John and Carol and their team were very welcoming hosts and we can not thank them enough for everything."

"Happy celebrations on the Islands of Siankaba"

7 nights Arrived 21 Jul 2012
"Eleven of us gathered to celebrate my 50th and my daughter's 18th birthday and it really was the perfect place. The bedrooms were amazing with a fantastic view over the river. The food was delicious and the birthday cakes were much enjoyed, and I was very touched by the birthday card that was left in my room.

Everybody enjoyed the sundowners on Hippo Island and fishing although we were not very successful at actually catching anything! The canoe trips were much enjoyed and even the walk round the island was interesting. It was lovely sitting round the fire in the evenings. Thank you to all the staff at Siankaba for making our stay so memorable."
