Tena Tena

Tena Tena

"Tena is a wonderful camp"

4 nights Arrived 11 Aug 2007
"We love Tena. It is exciting, pretty, very friendly and has fantastic game.

We love the leopards and owls especially. The guiding is superb, especially Kerry, the boss.

The food is great and the whole place is a superb package. an extra bonus is the Kawaza village and school - worth a visit by everyone, to see how rural Zambia works, and how the lodges contribute."

Chongwe River Camp

Chongwe River Camp

"Chongwe is a brilliant camp on the Zambezi"

8 nights Arrived 15 Aug 2007
"We had an unusually long stay at Chogwe - 8 days. We love game drives but thought we might get fed up with nothing but rattling game drives. But it did not work out like that.

We did a lot of walks - Duncan is brilliant. In the evening we sometimes did half cruise or canoe and half game drive. We went fishing, which we don't, and caught a 50lb Vundu and an 8lb Tiger Fish, and enjoyed seeing them swim away after the photos. Cruising and fishing mean you can get up later than 5.45am - an advantage when you are making a longer stay. We enjoyed the Bush Camp for one night, and would recommend it for two.

The staff are very helpful, and will accomodate whatever activity you choose. The food is worthy of a 5 star restaurant - Russell is a superb chef.

Our only concern about Chongwe is the wild elephants in the camp each day. Inexperienced guests, especially children, might get into difficulties. Other than this we thought Chongwe was a wonderful camp, and we will go back."
