Zambia bush camp tour

Zambia between 24 Jun 2012 and 6 Jul 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"This was our first bush camp holiday and it was pure magic .

The camps the food, staff, everything was more than we expected we will never forget our wonderful time with Norman Carr safaris The only letdown was the quality of food at the Island of Sainkaba

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We are very happy with all you did for us, expensive but this was a holiday to remember thank you"

Luwi Bushcamp

Luwi Bushcamp

"Luwi bush camp, first camp on our trip"

2 nights Arrived 25 Jun 2012
"This was our first of four bush camps, a long journey from airport but worth it, we had a very warm welcome from all and a very welcoming drink after which we were shown our room which was very comfortable . Well what can we say about the food , it was wonderful how can they present hot and very appetising food in the bush. All drinks, even imported were complementary The game drives and walks were very good the guides very informative and the guides, guards and tea boys all had such good sense of humour . my last point, what ever you wanted it was there, every thing was wonderful would we go back ,oh yes please"

Nsolo Bushcamp

Nsolo Bushcamp

"Nsolo bush camp our second camp"

2 nights Arrived 27 Jun 2012
"We walked to Nsolo which took a very relaxing three hours and once again had a very warm welcome. Our room, which seem to be the norm, was excellent , bed very comfortable services good but let the water run a little so you can have hot water for your shower if you so wish, As with all the camps it's an early start but over the camp fire eating hot porridge or fried eggs with like minded people and your hosts it's a pleasure to always remember . The elephants were around camp during the night and decided to eat the walls of the kitchen and trampled on the water pipe so we had no water fro a few hours but who cared its the bush"

Kakuli Bushcamp

Kakuli Bushcamp

"Kahului our third camp"

2 nights Arrived 29 Jun 2012
"We drove to Kakuli with a game drive on the way which took around three hours, very warm welcome again from our host, This camp is based right on the river packed with hippos and crocodiles . Our tent , as with all of Norman Carr bush camps we stayed in, are spacious with thatched roofs and an open air bathroom, very cool and those beds, so comfortable . Once again the food, excellent . Staff wonderful and nothing is too much bother they are there to please and they surely do that . There is a small troop of baboons that come through the camp mid afternoon to feast on the trees and are great fun to watch"

Mchenja Bushcamp

Mchenja Bushcamp

"Mchenja bush camp our forth and last"

2 nights Arrived 1 Jul 2012
"We walked to Mchenja from Kakuli which took around three hours, the walks are very relaxing and you see and track all sorts of animals Once again the guide is very knowledgeable and have very good sense of humour, Our guide said I had to be positive when identifying tracts which I did with enthusiasm and we had hoots of laughter when I got it wrong which I usually did. . We had two nights at all of the bush camps and felt sad that our first experience of this kind was coming to an end . We feel that we chose right in choosing Norman Carr Safaris and would go again with pleasure"

Islands of Siankaba

Islands of Siankaba

"Island of Siankaba"

3 nights Arrived 3 Jul 2012
"Our arrival on the island was very impressive very clean very welcoming and our room was wonderful, we were given the honeymoon suite as we were celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary . Our first meal, there was a table of 14, the food was served on cold plates therefore the food was cold and not appetizing and one of the guest did not receive a dinner at all which some of the kitchen staff found amusing , it appeared that there was not sufficient food so he had to have a pizza, The next day we were due to visit the Falls so we had a PICNIC, one cold chicken breast one muffin, not good. We did complain and the food did improve slightly but the damage was done we will not go back . Island of Siankaba is not cheap and you do expect first class food, the lack of management on the ground may be the reason"
