ON SAFARI
- Zambia
Godfrey and Jennifer travelled to the Luangwa Valley in Zambia
We had a very enjoyable holiday and would like to think that we will be going back to Africa sometime in the future! Kaingo Camp was an excellent choice – very helpful and friendly. We were impressed by the reception we had a Tafika Camp after our experience on the Chikoko Trails. The new taxes were not in force but no one was really sure what was going on. You were right to say there might be some confusion!

David and Jacquie took their grandchildren on safari in Zambia
Dear Bill. In short, it was a wonderful experience both for us and for the grandchildren both of whom really grew up and thoroughly enjoyed everything they had seen including the trip through the African Village which we laid on from Waterberry. Thank you so much for organising it so well. It was perfect for them in that it covered all sorts and they learnt so much from it.

Julian and Jessica enjoyed a five night escape in Zambia’s Lower Zambezi National Park
Hi Rob, Both camps were great and a good combo to do – adding variety without lots of travel. In fact the travel between the two was part of the fun. The highlight for us was the canoeing – would definitely do more of that on the next one. We also had the best tent at Chiawa (corner overlooking river and dried river bed where there was almost constant action) so thanks for getting that for us!

Dear Rob, Bill and Michaela, we want you to know that our Botswana Holiday was indeed splendid! We enjoyed every minute of it, with the exception of air transfers – inland transfers were great, it was the Joburg Airport and the Heathrow airport and the Miami airport experiences which were bad, and of course, these had nothing to do with Safari Consultants!! Thank you so much for your wonderful suggestions and advice. Our trip was fabulous!

- ZambiaDean, Lynn, Ben and Chris travelled to Zambia and Botswana
Dear Rob: What a trip! Your planning was perfect and its execution was nearly flawless. We were particularly impressed with the system which seamlessly passed us from one service provider to the next without a single hitch. The Islands of Siankaba was delightful, the management attentive and hospitable, the experience, helicopter flights, elephant rides etc., thrilling. Ntwala wasn’t quite as luxurious as the Dorchester, but it was not far off that mark. Sandibe was the perfect combination of tranquility and excitement. Our guide, Tschabo, was terrific. Lebala was the prize. Not necessarily because of the accommodations, which were just adequate; not because of the food, which was ample and delicious; not because of the staff whose unfailing kindness and good humor were constant. But rather for our guide: Dux Mareja. I don’t know what kind fate put him in charge of our little group, but it was a godsend. In short, it was a marvelous trip, and we thank you profusely.

- ZambiaJen and Gary travelled on honeymoon to Zambia and Botswana
We absolutely LOVED Old Mondoro. We were the only guests there the first 2 nights- what a magical experience! Kayla and Jason (managers) are so personable and attentive. Seb and Levy were our guides and were incredible knowledgeable and we didn’t realize how great we had it with them. We also loved the diversity of activities there. Footsteps was a phenomenal experience. OP (guide) was a delight to be with. We were the only people there. He mentioned they only book one group at a time (up to 6 people) so a very private, personal experience.
Thank you again for all your guidance, recommendations and patience in answering my millions of questions from safety to tipping to activities. You made our honeymoon magical and unforgettable. This trip exceeded my high expectations. We are completely in love with Africa. We are trying to figure out when to go back. Most likely won’t be for a few years, but when we do decide, you will be the first person we call so you can help arrange a magical trip again.

- Namibia - ZambiaMartin and Pam found us on the web and travelled to Botswana, Namibia and Zambia on honeymoon
Hi Rob, Just to say thank you very much for creating us such a wonderful honeymoon! It was the perfect mix of environments – arriving in Jacana with the delta in flood was stunning – we loved going around by boat in the hippo highways and all the beautiful wildlife, flowers, birds and the mokoro. Selinda was awesome – amazing guiding and we were lucky enough to have some wild dogs and a hyena in front of the camp on day 1 and 2. Fantastic food too and lovely relaxed yet luxurious atmosphere and accommodation. We also found Ntwala stunning – supreme accommodation and the biggest bathroom I’ve ever seen! And being by the Zambezi – we loved it (you were right too – we ended up not going on that last game drive in the end in order to enjoy being on the river more). We saw lions chasing mongoose from the river in Chobe – great treat. We loved Siankaba too and the falls. Perfect!

Rosemary and Patrick travelled to Zambia’s South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi
We’ve fallen in love with Zambia. There’s a timelessness, wild, savage beauty, incredible animals going about their business from sunrise to sunset, wonderful camps and ever smiling people to care for us. An experince of a lifetime!

Paul and Jennifer visited Zambia’s South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi
Dear Rob, Yet again, we had a fantastic time – you always gauge the camps/facilities/activities absolutely correctly for us. There was just the right mixture of walking and drives, and luxury and more basic “camping” (although I hesitate to call it that!). All the arrangements etc ran like clockwork. Deb Tittle was, of course, fantastic and warranted being the top of your recommendations. However, this does not detract from the rest of the camps, all of which were excellent and which we would willingly and highly recommend to anyone. Thank you very much once more for “doing us proud” and organizing a holiday to remember!

- ZambiaJohn and Renate travelled to Zambia and Malawi
Dear Bill, the trip to Zambia and Malawi was excellent, and we were extremely pleased with the quality of the locations in Malawi. Mkulumadze Lodge is going to be one of the great attractions in the coming years. We thought it was terrific, and with the addition of predators it will become an absolute must. Well done and many thanks. We look forward to our next trip.
