"Nkwali review"
Some people may be disconcerted by the openness of the tents, but we were given strict instructions about (not) leaving food, etc. around and the screen at the front seemed to do its job at night.

"Nkwali review"
The animals are well habituated yet you feel like you are in the wilderness; this meant we saw the animals really up close - including lucy the leopard and her two cubs, wild dogs; really wonderful experience
The camp is peaceful, the rooms are great; it really is very good value for money and has a luxurious feel.
The staff are attentive and kind. Would recommend." See all these reviews: 3n in Zambia

A really welcoming, vibrant, energetic feel to the camp. We were especially impressed with the staff here, the guides were incredibly knowledgeable and Max the host did an incredible job.
We were really made to feel cared for and at home." See all these reviews: 7n in Zambia

"A very special memorable experience "
Over the four days we were led by three different guides (one who picked us up at airport, one who was our regular guide, one who took us on the walking safari) and all were excellent. We appreciated their enthusiasm and their efforts to make sure we were having an enjoyable holiday. Their knowledge of the animals and birds was impressive ....as were their ability to find stunning spots for sundowners!
The food was very tasty, varied and and well presented. On one evening we came back to discover they had set up dinner for two on our room terrace as everyone else had left. A small gesture but typical of the thoughtfulness of staff to make our stay special." See all these reviews: 5n in Zambia; 3n in Zimbabwe
