"My first time bush camping"
The walking was quite strenuous at times and very rough over the dried pans. One moment of excitement with a close encounter with 2 Hippos.
The birding was also very good.
Luxury of your own loo.
Unfortunate that a swarm of bees prevented a move on the third night but it did not detract from a wonderful 3 days." See all these reviews: 8n in Zambia

We gave the same feed back to Rob who knew we had asked for Kanga and said they would always try and allocate staff if they have been asked for" See all these reviews: 9n in Zambia

"A wonderful experience"
"Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp review"
As it turned out, we did a morning drive instead of a hike to meet a guide from the next lodge 1/2 way." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

Very different wildlife experience than on a driving safari." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia

"Expectations exceeded with the bush camp"
We learnt to distinguish between the droppings (both white) of hyenas and crocodiles, as well as that of many other animals. Seeing elephant shrews in daylight at close quarters was a first. We will remember for a long time how we saw a pride of lions 150 metres away, and then slowly approached them to a distance of about 25 metres.
The food was amazingly good; coq au vin one evening, and barbecued steaks, sausages, vegetable kebabs and jacket potatoes on the second night, together with a full bar service including ice! The lunches were also good, and we had Zambian cheeses on one occasion - the goat cheese was particularly good.
The whole bush camp experience was wonderful and faultless. We appreciate very much the efforts of the whole team involved in the operation of looking after us, and moving the camp from one location to the next." See all these reviews: 13n in Zambia
"Robin Pope Safaris bush-camp review"
It was extremely well organized, very comfortable, and our guide was excellent - again good company and wonderfully experienced and knowledgeable - and again he judged our interests and capabilities very well." See all these reviews: 7n in Zambia
"Something different!"
The two fly camps were very comfortable, with drop toilets and a fab bucket shower facility. We walked in the morning for a few hours to the next camp, then a siesta and another walk in the evening. He even took us for a drive one evening as we heard their were wild dogs around (sadly we didn't see them, which was unfortunately the same story everywhere).
Braston was a great, knowledgeable and friendly guide and his team were fantastic. On both Robin Pope safaris (here & Tena Tena) they took my vegan dietery requirements very seriously and provided soy milk, margarine and treats. Considering British Airways can't even supply soy milk on their flights, this is nothing short of a miracle!
I would recommend a 2 night walking safari to those who've got a bit tired of sitting in a vehicle for hours as a way to enjoy something a bit different." See all these reviews: 9n in Botswana; 6n in Zambia
