Travel reviews by Dr & Mrs V - Cornwall

A three camp desert exploration

On this trip, I visited Botswana between 2-Oct-2008 and 14-Oct-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.

The overall experience was better than expected and the trip gave us a further insight into Botswana

1st trip with you and you delivered, thankyou

On this trip, I visited Botswana & Zambia between 15-Feb-2008 and 1-Mar-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We were the first of the season visitors at Mchenja with new camp managers, Richard and Susie. There were frought moments for them but they handled them well and we wish them every success.

Our flight and road transfers worked well and we should like to mention Geoff Chilongo who met us each time in Lusaka airport and smoothed our passage through.

Selinda provided two high spots, a cheetah stalk and kill and a group of 3 lionesses with 7 cubs. Lagoon provided the ultimate highlight of our trip with good sightings of a pack of wild dogs. Although the camp is beginning to look a little dated, this however is to its advantage in that it deters the spa safari clientele.
