My Jul 2024 Luangwa trip
Zambia between 11 Jul 2024 and 28 Jul 2024
Everything went smoothly and the trip was just as we expected.
This safari experience, in both the south and north, was very special. All the staff were very welcoming and Vel immediately made us feel at home.
As we moved from camp to camp we found each guide and team to be extremely knowledgeable. We learnt such a lot and saw such a lot and, although we frequently got things wrong, Amon was very patient and always thanked us for trying!
We had everything provided for a seamless stay in all the camps and needn't have brought hand-wash, bodywash, shampoo, conditioner, washing powder and insect repellent - and water bottles.
The food in each camp was amazing. So much choice and always freshly prepared. The garden at Tafika has inspired us to try our hand at growing sweet
Our thanks to everyone for such a memorable trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Not really. We could only think that perhaps knowing about the toiletries provided would have saved us weight in our luggage for the RAS flight. Not a big deal!"
