Tafika

"Faultless in all respects"

1 night Arrived 5 Jun 2024
"From the moment we arrived at Tafika everything about this place was superb. Its location, the views, the people, the food and most of all the wildlife were beyond our expectations.

All the staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for you. The Coppinger family have a dream set up here and proved wonderful hosts. The food was outstanding and the accommodation was 5* in a unique and authentic way.

We would like to say a special mention to Vel, she was the perfect host and so friendly and helpful. Also a special thanks to Lloyd whose knowledge and persistence proved to be the perfect and professional guide.

We couldn't have wished for more."

Big Lagoon Camp

Big Lagoon Camp

"Big Lagoon - WOW!"

1 night Arrived 7 Jun 2024
"The walk to Big Lagoon was an absolutely fabulous experience.

When we arrived at Big Lagoon we came face to face with a view taken from what can only be described as a picture postcard scene with elephants and impala drinking at the lagoon.

The place itself is absolutely outstanding, the food was fabulous and also the staff. Our bags were taken from camp to camp and we didn't have to lift a finger.

The room was perfect and so authentic with perfect views over the lagoon - who could ask for more"

Potato Bush Camp

Potato Bush Camp

"Idyllic location"

5 nights Arrived 10 Jun 2024
"From the moment we were met at the airport to the moment we left - this was the most wonderful camp with exceptional experiences and surprises.

I will not go into the surprises as it will ruin it for you but oh boy they are worth it. Set overlooking the Zambezi river - the views are stunning and you can spend your time watching elephants and hippos crossing the river.

Everything about this camp was first class, the food, the staff, the accommodation.

Professor was the most wonderful guide who went over and above to make sure we saw as many animals as we could."

"Great location for the falls"

2 nights Arrived 15 Jun 2024
"This hotel is lovely and so well placed for the falls - 15 minutes walk.

We booked various activities from the hotel and they all happened smoothly and on time.

The area is more busy than we had previously experienced on the holiday as quite touristy but the falls are excellent - a must see and in the helicopter gave a different perspective"
