"Lewi Riverbed Sleepout great fun - magic"

1 night Arrived 20 Sep 2016
"Lawrence and Goodson were most attentive and Aran cooked a great meal over the bush fire. Loved the whole experience. Sorry that the three of them had to stay awake all night to keep us safe. Walking to the sleepout from Luwi and then on the next day to Nsolu made it all seem like a proper journey. We particularly wanted to walk, rather than do game drives (which are great but not so real) and the sleepout was a perfect interlude." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia
