"Flatdogs Camp review"
We learned so much about the bush - the guide being a photographer himself, made him always look for the best ways for us to see the animals aswell. Having a good guide makes the whole difference for how your stay is, we experienced later on drives with other guides/other camps.
The food menu was a bit "boring" - the specials better, though.
The chalets were spacious and nice, and all the people lovely and helpful." See all these reviews: 5n in Zambia
"Great Option in South Luangwa"
The luxury safari tents at Flatdogs were absolutely perfect -- all the comforts of home and a fantastic view to boot. The food at the restaurant was delicious and there were always plenty of fresh vegetables on the plate.
I did one walking safari and one night game drive while I was there. It was my first walking safari and I enjoyed it. The night game drive was less enjoyable. I felt that the guide was a bit aggressive when it came to approaching a lone giraffe -- to the point where it felt like we were harassing the animal. Also, due to the fact that the Flatdogs game driving area is close to that of many other lodges, the night game drive was a traffic jam of 7 -10 vehicles trying to corner two leopards. Other guests may have different experiences with other guides. If you are in a private group it may also be possible to request a drive further away from the other lodges.
Overall, I think that Flatdogs is an excellent option, simply for its wonderful staff, excellent accommodations, and flexible options for meals & activities. I would love to go back for a longer stay." See all these reviews: 6n in Zambia; 3n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Flatdogs Camp review"
The room we were assigned was supposed to be the honeymoon room, but was identical to the other chalet rooms. Each chalet is split up in two rooms, and while we were in our honeymoon room the other room of our chalet was also occupied. We could hear everything they were saying...
The rose petals in the room (all over!) were a very nice touch." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 13n in Zambia
"Great start at Flatdogs"
Game viewing was excellent with well maintained and spacious vehicles and a wonderful guide (Yotam).
Another strong point of Flatdogs was the fact that we could eat our meals with just the two of us at whatever time we wanted." See all these reviews: 14n in Zambia
