Latitude 15
"Latitude 15 review"
1 night
Arrived
12 Sep 2023
"After the long flights from London & Doha, a leisurely break at Latitude 15 turned out to be a good start to our holiday. Friendly, helpful staff. After some rest, an afternoon swim and a poolside Mosi beer kicked off the holiday spirt. We stayed here to avoid the risk of a delayed incoming flight missing the connection to Mfuwe."

Shawa Luangwa Camp
"Shawa Luangwa Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
13 Sep 2023
"We were a little disappointed that all of the safari drives and the walking safari were on the other side of the river. We were expecting these to be in the Nsefu sector and this was a significant factor in choosing the camp.
However, the camp staff and set up were excellent as was the food. Our guide, Jack, was very knowledgeable and personable. He took on board our particular interest in birds.
The electric vehicles used for the safari drives were a great feature, so quiet."

Kaingo Camp
"Kaingo Camp review"
5 nights
Arrived
16 Sep 2023
"Our first visit to Kaingo was in 2010. We had to go back!
The position on the river sells it on its own. However, the overall package of the chalets with viewing decks, the communal deck etc, gave options in the down time between drives/walks and meals.
The staff were warmly engaging, friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble.
Yoram was a first class guide. Great with spotting and identifying birds as well as predicting what was likely to happen next at times; such as when he set us up way ahead of 3 distant bull elephants and we just waited for them to approach almost up to the vehicle. So many sightings of leopards, lion and also wild dogs."
