We booked our safari through Land & Lakes, and were told this was "luxurious accommodation". It is far from that, and should definitely be advertised as standard. When we asked the manager of Thornicroft about the wording of "luxurious" she even said it was only "standard". If we knew we were going to a standard lodge then we would have... More

We had spent 5 weeks in Malawiworking on a number of different projects with a friend who lives out here permentaly and to end our trip we decided we wanted to go on a Safari, we thought about going to one in Malawi but decided on Zambia due to seeing more of the big 5, and we did not regret...

This place was delightful and we have nothing negative to say about it. The staff was helpful, our guide was brilliant and the food/accommodations were great. The 8-9 hours of safari each day in South Luangwa were truly the best time we have ever had. You could drive hours without seeing any other people, yet seeing every animal you dreamed... More

Recently my husband and sister and brotherin law spent three nights at this beautifully appointed lodge situated over the river on the edge of the S.L. National park. Our chalet was comfortable and clean but not luxurious. The brunches were delicious, although the dinners were not to the same standard, suprisingly. The highlight of our trip was our visits to...

The chalets only have a small fan (which is not overhead) and a canvas roof... More

The drives were great, our guide Godphrey ensured that we were the first in the park most days to avoid the other cars. Saw wild dogs, lions galore... More

Having visited the Serengeti, NgoroGoro,Okovango, Masai Mara etc i thought they would be hard acts to follow, however casting around for a new location to visit we decided on the South Luangwa, i was a bit dubious at first as this area doesnt seem to be as well known as other mainstream destinations but we decided to give it a...
