Customer Comment: Zambia Safari - October 2010 - Mike & Pauline R.

"We were with you from 16th -25th October and would just like to say what an absolutely fabulous time we had with you while we were there. From the moment we arrived at Lusaka until we flew out again you really looked after us and made sure everything went so smoothly.


We started off at Kapani then Mchenja, Luwi and finally Nsolo and all four places were just terrific. All the ground and camp staff were so friendly and welcoming, the food and accommodation was just excellent but i would particularly like to express my thanks to all the guides. Their knowledge and understanding of the landscape and the ecosystems in which the wildlife operates was outstanding and their willingness to share that knowledge with us and the enthusiasm with which they did it really helped make the holiday.

Thanks to Willy for finding me the Pel's Fishing Owl, Innocent for working out where the crocodiles nest was and then finding the eggs, Brian for his great humour and enthusiasm and Lawrence for his fantastic bird impressions! Also thanks to Shaddy for his knowledge on the final day and to Andrew for his great conversation, the relating of his life and communuity and also for his great passion for conservation, truly inspiring.

If there was one comment i would make, which is by no means a critisism, is perhaps say a little bit more about the conservation work going on and try to get the bigger picture over to visitors about the importance of the whole ecosystem and that is so much more to see than just the big animals. (I say that just because a few people (not with Norman Carr Safaris!) were complaining about not seeing leopards after 3 days and they were missing out on so much else!)

We would like to support your work in some small way and i know we can contribute to the school. I did wonder if there was any contribution we make to the guide training programme; i say this as i had a wonderful chat with Kasami (i hope i got his name right) at Mchenja and i if there was any way, if that is needed, we could make some small contribution to his ambition to become a guide, pleae let us know. If not we will certainly make some donation to the school or community.

Thanks once again for help making our holiday of a lifetime just that."
