Customer Comment: Shoebill Lechwe & Luangwa - Dr & Mrs Welch - July 2008


"We were flown to Mfuwe (International) Airport in a brand new 6-seater Cessna by Russell and it was nice to have well fitting headphones which not only reduced background noise, but also enabled communication with the pilot. We were met by 3 staff from Kapani Lodge including Lawrence who was to be our guide. Kapani Lodge proved to be the height of luxury and at lunch the mainly female staff out numbered the guests, there being only one other family besides us until more arrived for the weekend. We appreciated that the supply of wine was inclusive. Lawrence also proved to be an excellent guide, ably assisted by Charles who acted as spotter. Both had extensive local knowledge and remarkable eyesight."


"We thoroughly enjoyed our Zambian experience and would have no hesitation in recommending both it as a destination, and your company to friends. The variety of wildlife, particularly large mammals, in the South Luangwa should satisfy any first-time visitor to Africa, but Kasanka and Shoebill are definitely for the more experienced traveller due to the relatively small numbers of mammal species to be seen there. Both are, however, to be highly recommended for the more serious ornithologist."

Dr & Mrs Welch
