1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Knowledgeable wildlife guides who had great personalities at Shawa and Ila Lodges.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Go before the rainy season starts or is underway, so you have the opportunity to see more species of wildlife. I was too late at my 2nd national park - Kafue - there were too many watering holes.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Provides essential employment opportunities for Zambians. Electric vehicles reduced the environmental impact. Visiting the parks hopefully supports species' conservation.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
Fantastic and awesome. Just wish I'd gone earlier and to more places but I booked at the last minute.Sarah Pajwani review 15 Nov 2017
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Definitely the walking safaris at Chikoko and Crocodile camps in the South Luangwa.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
The style of camps at Tafika, Chikoko and Crocodile looks very natural and simple, even basic - and you v=certainly feel really at one with the bush and animals - however they have thought of all your comforts - the food and dining is first class, the rooms have every comfort you need (ensuite showers, hot running water and flushing loos)3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. Tourism is the major/only employer in the area and has also helped fund wells and teachers in the nearby villages.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
