The latest word on the street about Zambia holidays:

Was one of the best experiences. Zambia was just what we needed. The people were wonderful. Very impressed with all  your recommendations. You managed to keep the whole family happy.

The Sturridge Family Zambia

Every part was wonderful, perfect in every way. We fell in love with Zambia – excellent hospitality, very friendly people, lovely personal service. An amazing holiday. We are desperate to go back.

Victoria Campbell Zambia

Thank you for an unforgettable honeymoon full of life, adventure, and lasting memories. The staff, activities, food, drink and atmosphere at all the lodges were brilliant.

Chris Hanson Zambia

We loved the safari in Zambia. Such brilliant, friendly guides. The diving at Thonga was another favourite because of the colours and variety of sea life. All in all, it was a great fun, exciting, informative and relaxing holiday.

Isaac Tilney Zambia & South Africa

We loved Zambia and Coral 15:41 Lodge – outstanding accommodation, food and service, remote locations and exclusivity. Better than the best of dreams, it was a trip to heaven.

Siobhan Joyce Zambia & Mozambique

The safari was simply breathtaking. What a superb varied range of experiences – each as good as each other in their own way. An amazing country. I would recommend it to anyone.

Jane Hadfield Zambia

Thanks so much for arranging everything it all went perfectly with no hitches. We loved both Royal Zambezi Lodge and Baia Sonambula, both made us feel very special and we were upgraded to a deluxe suite at the Royal Zambezi which was amazing! Would definitely recommend both. We had an absolutely fantastic time!

Alistair Lewis Zambia & Mozambique, September 2015

Flatdogs: Game sightings were very good, too, although we had just one brief lion sighting in 3 full days (4 nights). We got very good compensation in the form of several leopard sightings (6 leopards on the best night drive!), as well as other animals. The safari tents in Flatdogs were very good, too, and the Treehouse was gorgeous. Food was also very good and the staff very friendly. Guides were very knowledgeable and experienced.

Clare Hunter Zambia

Everything worked like clockwork, making life easy, excursions energetic and fun – the total experience has made me want to return to Zambia. We loved the lodges you chose … all very different from each other which made it fun.

Amanda Cowley Zambia

Excellent holiday in every respect. Absolutely stunning safari location – great views over river. Didn’t want for anything. Guide Chris was fantastic and fun to be around. Delicious food and staff even made us a happy honeymoon cake!
