"This was a totally memorable trip for our whole family.

The itinerary and logistics worked really well making the travel in Africa part of the adventure.

We saw amazing game and some beautiful places."

Camp Kalahari

Camp Kalahari

"Camp Kalahari review"

3 nights Arrived 2 Aug 2022
"CK was lovely. The staff were very friendly and professional.

The food was excellent and the tents very comfortable although the zips weren't nearly as convenient as the sliding doors at the other camps.

We had some amazing experiences. Particular favourites were the quad biking on the salt pans and the morning spent with the Meerkats (this was our kids' must see!)"

Chitabe Lediba

Chitabe Lediba

"Chitabe Lediba review"

3 nights Arrived 5 Aug 2022
"The game viewing here was astounding.

We saw two leopards apparently courting within 30 minutes of landing. Lion cubs, Cheetah with cubs and a kill, wild dogs and pups at their den, giraffe and elephants everywhere, amazing!.

Our guide "Duke' was hugely experienced and great company. The food was generally excellent although main courses at dinner weren't as good as at CK. The staff were again very friendly and attentive.

Our one disappointment at CL was that we had booked adjoining rooms so that our children could reach us if worried (same request for all three camps). It turned out that we had adjacent rooms without connection. As we couldn't leave the rooms at night we each had to sleep with a child. There were adjoined rooms but another family was in those."

Shinde Camp

Shinde Camp

"Shinde Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 8 Aug 2022
"This is a beautiful location and the camp is both smart and comfortable.

The staff were delightful and the service was excellent. We saw lots of great game with some magical moments such as watching a family of elephants crossing the river.

We had a lovely sighting of a leopard and her cub which went on for over an hour.

Simon, our guide was very patient and gave us a wonderful experience on and off the water.

Our kids love catching fish!"

Waterberry Zambezi Lodge

Waterberry Zambezi Lodge

"Waterberry Zambezi Lodge review"

4 nights Arrived 11 Aug 2022
"This is a lovely property.

It is well designed and maintained with a beautiful garden. It felt like a perfect haven after our busy safari schedule.

The staff, particularly Webby and Daisy were very hospitable. The food was the best we experienced on our trip.

The border crossings into and out of Zambia and Zimbabwe gave us a glimpse into a very different Africa as well as the village visit."
