"It was great to see Paul again and meet Sophie, and hear about their latest ventures.

As ever, Pioneer is a friendly, relaxed and convenient stoppover, and it's nice to be in a more peaceful location than a city hotel." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia

"We were met, as promised, and taken to the Camp to be greeted and installed.

A quick hot shower and we were set for what turned out to be an excellent evening meal. Breakfast the next day and off tot he airport.

A great way to take a break after long flights before going on to Luangwa." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia

"There was a large party of Americans staying at the camp but this was well managed and we were able to have meals at the agreed time.

We felt welcomed and well looked after. Would be happy to stay there again." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

"The camp itself is laid out as a typical safari location which it is not. Although the chalet was adequate it was unfortunate we arrived, some 35 minutes from Lusaka airport, during a power outage which, apart from only 30 minutes it came back on during our overnight stay, continued. With no mains electricity there was a very limited dinner menu; basically steak only.

Battery lights (very limited illumination) were provided in our room which were not fully charged so we had to ask for replacements. Added to all this we discovered in the morning there was no hot water available to our chalet. After an early breakfast we departed for the airport. Due to low levels of water in the dams there are, or were, daily outages which were only supposed too be for no more than, I believe, 4 hours which affects the whole of the area including the city of Lusaka.

In future we would opt to stay at a hotel in Lusaka which would have adequate power back-up and probably be closer to the airport." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Zambia

"We spent only one night in Pioneer Camp between flights in and out of Lusaka so we arrived late at night and left early the following morning. It is very good - rooms ok though a bit rustic and the food is good." See all these reviews: 12n in Zimbabwe; 8n in Zambia

"A great place to recover from the long journey, start the holiday and get into the African spirit!

Friendly and helpful staff, lovely rooms and delicious food.

Good bird-spotting around the camp.

There for one-night stopover." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"Very tranquil, nice environment only 25min from the airport, with nice large well appointed rooms.

Unfortunately we were only there a very short time due to delayed flights, however the camp still came & picked us up at 2am in the morning & were very helpful trying to find our lost luggage.

Very Friendly & helpful." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia

"We were glad to have the family house even though it did not provide the same luxury as the chalets. However, apart from being a safe and quiet place, it is not particularly interesting.

We used Pioneer Camp as stopover for visiting another town and as conveniently located close to the airport." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia; 4n in Malawi
