"Beautiful, remote and peaceful"
"Big Lagoon Camp review"
The deck over the lagoon was a lovely spot from which to enjoy the baboons on one side and the vervet monkeys on the other as well as numerous birds and antelope in particular with elephants coming by to drink and bathe too.
More walks and another lion encounter, but this time from a slightly more comfortable distance of about 50 yards. Elephants, giraffes, buffalo, water buck and zebra in good numbers spotted too." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"Big Lagoon Camp experience"
The food and accommodation was outstanding and varied walks made for an interesting stay.
We now know how to make a fire with sticks and are experts at recognising animal droppings!" See all these reviews: 15n in Zambia

Although more remote from Nick & Jen's supervision the staff were just as attentive and the food as good as at Tafika.
The wildlife at the lagoon was easy and fascinating to view. It may look from our wildlife sightings that we saw fewer mammals but that ignores the wonderful bird life from raptors to bee eaters. All spectacular and not too difficult to photograph" See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia

Just as with Chikoko, the food is simple but superb, prepared in a bush kitchen complete with underground oven. Do ask to take a look at the kitchen while here!" See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"Big Lagoon - WOW!"
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" See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Big Lagoon Camp review"
I was still so grateful to have Stephen as my guide. This was our last night together, but I certainly hope to see him again on a return trip. Sometimes, you and your guide just "mesh" well together, and it can add to your experience 10fold, and this was the case here.
A completely immersive walking experience. Seeing lions on foot is amazing. At all times, I felt very safe and looked after. Food is of an exceptional quality, even given the remote location. The camp deserves more than the one night that I had here.......so on return, I will likely book for 2 or 3 nights." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia
