My Aug 2015 trip

Zambia between 21 Aug 2015 and 1 Sep 2015

Trip rating: Excellent
"This was a very well put together trip. Although we spent a minimum number of nights at each camp (2) Robin Pope safaris moved all our luggage seamlessly and we were able to have a transfer and drive at the same time!

I would also highly commend Robin Pope for their ability to help us through Lusaka and Livingston airports.

Particularly helpful was their ability to get us through the diplomatic channel when getting our visa into Zambia!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No. Well done!"

2 nights Arrived 24 Aug 2015
"Again an excellent camp. Rather more spread out then nikwali .We enjoyed the combination of a fixed tent and open bathroom

A special mention about the camp manager Christabelle. She was genuinely very friendly and informative. Nothing was too much trouble to her."

"The highlight of our trip! It could not be improved on.

Kanga and his team were fantastic and Kangar himself was by far our best guide both for his enthusiasm and ability to put over information."

My Feb 2014 trip

Kenya between 8 Feb 2014 and 23 Feb 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"We had a fantastic trip.

The second camp we chose was much smarter than we had expected, we couldn't fault it but we would have preferred something more relaxed with the use of the campfire rather than formal lounge. As we were the only ones there we felt they needed to alter their routine a little.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The rough guide was very helpful.

We felt the early visa option was a waste of money as we queued just the same as those purchasing at the airport."

"Leleshwa review"

3 nights Arrived 12 Feb 2014
"Unfortunately we were the only people staying in camp on two out of our three nights so we missed chatting to others about their day. All our meals in camp even breakfast were with the guide which felt a bit intense/ formal. Maybe if the camp fire had been lit in the evenings it could have been more informal which we would have preferred.

We did get stuck in sand on our way to the Maasai Mara so a spade would have been useful to have been carried!"
