South Luangwa National Park

Pros: Top notch service, food, and knowledgeable staff. Excellent game viewing.
Cons: Expensive.

South Luangwa National Park has many safari lodges to choose from. In October 2003 we spent 2 days at Nkwali Lodge and 3 days at Nsefu lodge and experienced some terrific service and great wildlife viewing. Although these lodges are expensive, I felt it ...

Cons: Very few direct flights into Lusaka from Europe (only from London twice per week)

After first visiting South Africa and Zimbabawe in March, 2002, I fell in love with Africa and longed to return. Unfortunately, with the US Dollar so weak against a surging South African Rand, I found the prices in South Africa to be too expensive and ...

Pros: the price and the fact that 60% goes to the wildlife conservation society of Zambia
Cons: cannot think of any - it was all great value for money

what a great camp with a family atmosphere. Reservations were easily made and Patsy helped me with all my internal flights. On arrival I was met by the new managers, Oscar and Miriam - who went out of their way to make me feel welcome. The guiding was excellent and both the walks and drives were great. The new land rovers were fantastic and the bush camp was a night to remember. The food was always great - especially loved the traditional zambian meals. The chalets are cool and clean and I loved the elephants that were around my chalet every afternoon. The staff are super friendly and a trip to the village and school was an eye opener to say the least! I will certinly be sending some pens and equipment to them.
