Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: This lodge offers a truly remarkable location for wildlife—I really saw at short distance all the animals shown on the Booking.com photos, and more. Elephants and hippos regularly walked past and even through the lodge grounds, creating the feeling of being part of nature while still being completely safe and well looked after. The team manages everything with great care, professionalism and responsibility. Frank is an excellent host who also does impressive work by employing a large number of local staff, all of whom were friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and highly professional. The food was excellent, the accommodation very comfortable, and all transportation arrangements ran smoothly. The safari program exceeded expectations! Every day included morning and afternoon + night game drives, and I also had the option to do a walking safari, which all offered different and fascinating perspective on the wildlife. Beyond the park, I appreciated the insights into Zambian and Malawian life I received from the staff and the driver. Overall, this place offers an unforgettable safari experience, with superb hospitality, wildlife immersion and great value. Hugely recommended!
Summary: An unforgettable wildlife experience with excellent safaris, hosting, accommodation and food
