WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
“Starting with the flights and then arrival in Lusaka- it was all seamless. South Luangwa: The guides emphasized the stories which suited us over just ticking off animals. The walking between the camps and sleep out were a highlight. I really liked the entire experience at Lower Zambezi and thought the increased time there was definitely a great thing.” — John and Anna from the UK
