Pioneer - o/k to over-night.
This was just an over-nighter.
Further from the airport than anticipated, but o/k.
Nice welcome from the owner - Paul.
Food better than anticipated.
Rooms really only average, but o/k.
simple stopover
Simpler than the Jaj in Luzaja this is fine for 1 night. Food OK, but not to Tafica standard.
Room is large and OK, but short on some things - soap, light, water very slow. But who cares at the end of a bushcamp visit.
Pioneer Camp review
No complaints. We were only there a short time but it was perfectly acceptable. All the transfers worked well.
The steaks and the pasta dish we ordered could have fed the five thousand!

We chose to stay here as an aternative to the Taj Pomodzi which had we used on our last trip and found disappointing. The service here was efficient and much more reliable than the Taj who forgot to pick up up at the airport!. The staff were friendly and helpful, The food was tasty, although not the standard to which we had become accustomed in the bush.
Apart from the rather unpleasant water supply (brown and smelling of rust) and a dodgy shower, our only complaint was the transfer time to the sirport. We left camp at 6.30 arriving at the airport at 7.00, which meant that we were still quite a long way back in the checkin queue when they called the flight for boarding. A bit of unnecessary stress at the end of a wonderfully relaxing holiday.
Pioneer Camp - First Night
We had two very short stays at Pioneer Camp (arriving around 7pm both times and departing around 6:30 am both times) I just wish we could have had a little more opporunity to see the place in daylight.
Paul was a very gracious and attentive host and took care of all our needs, including the last minute addition of another guest (another Peace Corps volunteer traveiling with us when we returned to Lusaka).. We also enjoyed meeting other travelers there, sharing stories and experiences.
A great way to spend the last evening in Zamb
I it is necessary to spend a night away from Tafika etc due to an early flight then Pioneer Camp is the next best thing.
Aagain I was treated royally and helped in every way even to providing me with an escort to my chalet and a candle when the lights went out
Pioneer Camp review
This camp is ideal for a one night stop-off but not for a two night stay as it is a long way from Lusaka and 'in the middle of nowhere'.

Very convenient stop off prior to London flight
Good food - enormous steaks
Very obliging service
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.
