Zambia between 8 Jul 2018 and 20 Jul 2018
"A natural wonder. in the top three greatest family holiday experiences of our lives to date!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We found Lucy to be an excellent support, she is clearly a really lovely person who is so knowlegable and worked so hard to refine our itinerary! She is a real professional too!
I would much prefer the detailed feedback we give to be over the phone or face to face rather than on a feedback form.
With this we will also ring Lucy for a chat with our feedback.
Thank you for all that you do, you we find you to be an excellent organisation with first class knowledge and a clear great passion for Africa.
Thank you so much for all you have done for us x"

Mchenja Bushcamp
"Amazing experience "
4 nights
Arrived 10 Jul 2018
"We found Mchenja to be a very special place! We have had the privilege of staying at a number of lodges over the years and this one was by far the best experience yet!
It has an energy very hard to describe in language, however this is as close as I can get..........
It felt like such a rich natural environment while being so homely and open. There was such understated luxury with authentic service, great great people with lovely food in a magical setting.
We felt were part of the animal kingdom which of course we are. So often I guess these days we get lost in cities, concrete and towns..... this place helped us to remember we are animals and part of the natural ecosystem that is planet earth!
Friday is an outstanding guide he has such great knowledge loves what he does and is so respectful of his environment. He taught us so much and was able to get us closer to real Zambia than we had expected.
His tenacity was powerful too and never gave up for our search to see game.... we saw such rare sightings particularly Leopard.
We will absolutely go back to Mchenja and would love to go on walking safari between the Norman Carr camps."

Chongwe River Camp
"Great Camp "
4 nights
Arrived 14 Jul 2018
"We loved Chongwe and had a great experience.
The activities with the Canoeing and the Boat safaris were awesome.
Michael who looked after us in the camp is a great person and while being so professional is such a nice guy!
Bright as a guide is again such a lovely person with so much knowledge and he worked so hard to find great game. When we did not get a sighting you could see he was unhappy and was so thrilled for us when we had a great drive! We learned so much from him and he was so much fun to be with!
The Lodge felt slightly less homely than Mchenja and more luxurious. It felt slightly less homely than Mchenja.
We were so fortunate to stay in the Albida suite! What a great treat!
We found the food good at Chongwe not great.
The location was incredible."

Royal Livingstone Hotel
"Royal Livingstone Hotel review"
1 night
Arrived 18 Jul 2018
"We arrived at Victoria Falls and wanted to treat ourselves by immediately upgrading from the Avani to the Royal Livingstone Hotel
The hotel was really lovely with great food, terrific service and of course an outstanding view!
I wept when we arrived at the waterfalls, such an incredible experience which reminded me of my insignificance on the planet and the awe of the natural world.
We loved our microlight experience over the falls, one we will never forget!"
