    I had an unforgettable stay at a riverside lodge in Zambia. The location was absolutely stunning, with elephants and hippos roaming around the property. The tent I stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed the outdoor shower. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the food was delicious. The game drives were a highlight of my trip, with an experienced guide leading us to spot various animals. I would highly recommend this lodge for an amazing safari experience.

    We had an incredible time at this lodge in the heart of a national park. The location was breathtaking, with stunning views of the river and the chance to see elephants crossing right from our room. The spacious tent provided a comfortable stay, with two showers and a big, cozy bed. The staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome and ensuring we had everything we needed. The game drives were informative and fun, with the opportunity to see a wide variety of animals. Breakfast was delicious, and the pool was a refreshing bonus.

    It would have been helpful if the lodge accepted card payments, as we had to make sure we had enough cash on hand.

    All the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our stay extra special. The food was delicious and everything went very smoothly. Our guide, Isaac Banda, was very knowledgeable and made the safaris educational and fun. The location was breathtaking, right in the heart of Luangwa National Park, with elephants, baboons, and hippos roaming around. The tents were spacious and comfortable, with two showers and a big, cozy netted bed. The lodge is run by a fantastic team of young Zambians who are doing an excellent job. A truly amazing experience!

    We stayed at an amazing lodge in the heart of Luangwa National Park. the location was beautiful, with stunning views of the river and animals passing by. One of the highlights was when an elephant approached the lodge during lunch - an experience I'll never forget. the food was delicious, the pool was a great way to cool down in the hot weather, and the game drives were both fun and informative. Our room was wonderful, and the staff made sure we felt comfortable throughout our stay. It truly was a slice of bliss. Cons: Everything was spot on! 😊.

    From the moment we arrived, the hosts made us feel at home. The tent accommodation was spacious and the beds were incredibly comfortable. Sleeping by the river with a hippo visiting at night was a jaw-dropping experience. The camp had a dedicated chef who prepared delicious meals, ensuring we were always well-fed. The game drives with our knowledgeable guide were mind-blowing - we spotted an abundance of wildlife. The friendly and attentive staff made our stay extra special. The whole experience was a true African wilderness adventure.
