Our trip to Zambia & Mozambique was beautifully planned from start to finish. The lodges were small and full of character, and everything ran like clockwork without ever feeling over-organised. We felt very looked after.

Zambia was magical and Sundowner nailed the balance between comfort and wilderness. Each stop brought something new and the wildlife sightings were incredible. Already dreaming of our next trip.

We’ve just returned from Zambia and it was absolutely fantastic. The lodges were full of character and the whole trip had a real sense of adventure while still feeling easy and relaxed. A brilliant itinerary from Sundowner.

Simon Bullard, Zambia

This was our first time in Zambia and Sundowner put together a beautiful, well-paced itinerary. We loved the remote bush camps and the mix of game drives and walking safaris. Would absolutely recommend.
