1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

Watching a lioness looking after a buffalo kill while a huge number of vulchers surrounded it from on high and on the ground. When the lioness wandered off the vultures totally covered the buffalo until two hyenas joined in. When three more arrived the vulchures flew back to the trees. The hyenas cleaned up the buffalo leaving bare bones.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

The tour was terrific but the four long trips were uncomfortable.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

That is difficult to assess but the visit to the school certainly opened our eyes. 130 in one classroom with one teacher with no chairs or desks

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Brilliant

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

To see leopards and wild dogs in South Luangwa. Malawi was much greener than I expected (the rainy season started just before we arrived but we were quite lucky with the timing of the rain that didn’t affect our planning except one morning in dzalanyama)

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Take Binoculars, hat, raincoat ( in December at least) and a few books

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Yes all staff were locals.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Interesting trip, mixed of wildlife and other activities. Very friendly local people. Some long days in the car. The local agency had a third week planned for the north that I would have liked to do as well if I knew it existed
