"A truly magical setting on the river"
We saw more hippo every day than you would think possible and on the second night whils drinking pre-dinner cocktails we were captivated by the deep and resonous sound of a lion roaring on the opposite bank - I'm sure the sound carried for miles.
Once again, the game drives were brilliant - Lawrence and his spotter were clearly top of the class compared to some of the guides from other camps - where he went others followed!
Our bush breakfast was a complete surprise and an absolute treat as was our special sundowner locations and candlelit settings - very romantic." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia; 6n in Malawi
"Mchenja Bushcamp review"
Very knowledgeable and active guides but game was sparse around the camp area so that it was necessary to drive further to see a variety of animals. The immediate terrain was not exciting.
Food good with some recipe highlights." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia
"Total luxury at Mchenja"
Every walk and night drive produced new game and bird sightings, plus lots of knowledge of tracking and habitat passed on by our fantastic guide Lawrence. If we were to choose our favourite guide (which is difficult) it would be Lawrence. Lawrence was very informative whatever we saw, and exceptionally easy to get on with. Our hostess, Mindy, again was our favourite, nothing was too much trouble, very easy to talk to, very relaxing atmosphere.
The leopard kill was exciting, from watching her crawling along a ditch to approach the impala, picking out a rather large male, to making the kill was unbelievable." See all these reviews: 10n in Zambia

Elisabetta got her birthday gluten-free cake with a singing choir in the middle of the savana: simply amazing!
Walking safari very interesting and not to be missed if one wants to really understand the bush." See all these reviews: 8n in Mozambique; 5n in Zambia; 1n in Tanzania; 1n in South Africa

We are into birds and cats and Lawrence could imitate most bird sounds and quite often would have 'conversations' with them as we went along. Food was outstanding given the remoteness of the camp.
It was very fitting that the last animal we saw just before we got back to camp at night was a leopard stalking an impala. It rounded off a beautiful experience." See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"just possibly the lovliest setting, but close"
A great memory has to be the leopard up a tree, and getting bogged down near lions - I was amazed how little interest they took in all the activity so near to them." See all these reviews: 12n in Zambia
