Ginny's report on Nsefu Camp 4*

By Ginny Added: 17 June 2008

"Nsefu was terrific. It is the original 1950s rondavels skillfully remodeled with open air en suite bathroom/dressing rooms added at the back and wooden decks added at the front. So although the bedroom is necessarily small as they were not allowed to rebuild, the rooms are all very charming and particularly light and airy and this totally compensates for the size. It has a particularly affable team of guides (Dave, Matt, Jacob and Dowdie) and camp staff led by Noodles.

This is a cracking wildlife area with the particular benefit of being an enclosed ecosystem so that there are several endemic sub-species. The other great advantage of South Luangwa is that it is phenomenally pretty. We felt that it was as attractive as the Okavango Delta and the guiding ranked with the very best I have experienced too."

Kate and Ginny's report on Sausage Tree Camp 4*

By Ginny and Kate Added: 17 September 2006

"Sausage Tree Camp lies on the banks of the Zambezi River within the National Park and is probably one of the most romantic camps in the area. One of the key selling points for Sausage Tree and Chiawa Camp is that activities are extremely flexible. They have enough guides, boats and vehicles that you can choose what you feel like doing rather than fitting in with a pre-arranged camp schedule. Highly recommended (but a little pricey)."
