Kapamba Bushcamp
"Kapamba Bushcamp review"
Kapamba also do a lovely surprise brunch in the bush which is lovely after a walk.
The animals seen from all three bushcamps that we stayed in are not as habituated to jeeps as in the areas closer to the gate like Mfuwe Lodge which we liked but you do end up with lots of photos of rear ends!
As with the other camps we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

My Oct 2016 trip
Zambia between 26 Oct 2016 and 3 Nov 2016
The animals were on parade for us and we were very lucky to see almost everything the first day and could relax after that and just enjoy the drives for what turned up and plenty did. We didn't get to see the wild dogs but that will be our reason to return
The only sour note in the entire trip were the staff on the SAA flight from Joburg to Heathrow who appeared to think that the customers were there just to get in their way, they were so rude & unhelpful that we have sworn to never fly with them again!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
That's a difficult one!
We are struggling to think of anything but have come up with nothing.
We would definitely use Expert Africa and recommend you to our friends. But most of them are wimps and wouldn't appreciate hippos against the tents and frogs in the bathroom but we loved every second!"

Flatdogs Camp
"First night in Zambia"
We would very much recommend Flatdogs particularly as a first step between our fully wired lives and the isolated bush camps with which we followed it. The hippos do ensure you get no sleep but that is all part of the experience."

Nsefu
"Nsefu was fabulous"
We felt very special here. A particular highlight was the bush breakfast at the end of our walking safari.
We will definitely return asap."

Tafika
"Last 2 night at Tafika"
The walking safari & crossing the Luangwa by canoe was a highlight but nothing compared to watching the 15 lions that were eating their buffalo kill actually right beside the camp on our last morning.
We would love to go back and try their walking only bush camps. Highly recommended!"
