Zambia

Zambia is well known for excellent guiding and top-class walking safaris.

...while some bushcamps in the South Luangwa exclusively offer walking safaris.

There's always plenty of time in between activities to relax with a drink...

...and watch the local wildlife!

From the smaller animals...

...to the biggest - there's a huge amount of game to be viewed in the different parks.

...you can find more luxurious lodges here as well...

...and every camp goes the extra mile to provide special touches to your safari.

"South Luangwa with Expert Africa"

I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2008 and 4 Nov 2008
"The trip was a delight with the vast majority of things going very smoothly indeed. All the camps were good and I would recommend any one of them to people going to South Luangwa.

I personally preferred the smaller camps further north but that is not to say that there was anything wrong with the others." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"Holiday of a lifetime!"

I visited Zambia between 15 Oct 2008 and 27 Oct 2008
"Cannot thank you enough for organising such an amazing holiday for us - it surpassed our expectations in so many ways. We were looked after so well and yet still managed to feel like we were getting the real safari experience.

So many incredible memories that we will cherish forever. Thank you. Thank you. We are recommending you to all our friends!

"Our Safari"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 13 Oct 2008 and 25 Oct 2008
"Another great time in Africa, it always fascinates and enthralls us. No problems with any of our arrangements inspite of a fairly convoluted itinerary. If anyone has discovered an effective way of dealing with tetse flies we would appreciate their advice.They were quite a problem on the Lower Zambezi this year!

Apart from the flies our only other grumble was having to pay £75 visa charge each for a 6 hour stay in Zambia while en-route to Namibia,and then being charged again when we returned 5 days later.



No, the service and trip lived up to our expectations." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"The S's Great Experiences in Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 8 Oct 2008 and 23 Oct 2008
"A fantastic holiday in a great country.

Laundry service was really excellent and did make taking limited luggage very feasible.
It was great that we could drink the water at the Bush Camps and at the Livingstone Hotel.
Great problem buying postcards - we only really found any in Lusaka at the end of our trip.

Suggestions for improvement:

Mention that when going to Shiwa they only take one party at a time, even if it only consists of one person.

Suggest travellers take pens to give to children. Also could take old training shoes to give away or use as part trade for crafts." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Our Fabulous Holiday"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 6 Oct 2008 and 24 Oct 2008
"We book a fairly complex itinerary involving many flights, locations and activities. This involved being met at airports for transfers all of which went very smoothly thanks to the organisation and efficiency of Lucy and her colleagues at Expert Africa.

One of our activities included white water rafting at Victoria Falls and what a fantastic experience it was, the climb in and out of the gorge is difficult but well worth the effort. Thank you Expert Africa for arranging our fabulous holiday.

Suggestions for improvement:

As our trip was faultless it is difficult to think of any comments." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Amazing bang for your bucks!"

I visited Zambia between 3 Oct 2008 and 16 Oct 2008
"I have run out of ways of saying excellent............we cried all the way home on British Airways flight.

Suggestions for improvement:

I hope that Tafika's recipe of giving the best, not spoiling the dish by overloading the camps, and charging a price that gives them the return they want is the right one for the future.

A costly holiday no doubt; but cheap at the price !" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"A marvellous safari"

I visited Zambia between 1 Oct 2008 and 16 Oct 2008
"The trip as a whole was excellent, very enjoyable, and very fruitful as regards animal sightings, and vegetation and general environment explanations. We would highly recommend such a trip, and we would highly recommend Robin Pope Safaris, which we hope keeps its efficient but homespun individual character.

We went at the end of the season in spite of the heat, expecting good game viewings, but found the heat at night a problem and made much use of kikois. For the first time we all got gut problems, and found we were not alone in this, but cannot put the cause down to any one thing - heat, dehydration or food. However, only one of us had to miss one game drive, and staff were solicitous, so ailments were an inconvenience, rather than a major problem."
