Our (South Luangwa) safari time went off with a bang!

Hi Madi,

Our safari time went off with a bang and we had no a shadow of doubt in its success cause it had been provided by you and your company!

Our aircraft landed in Mfuwe precisely on time and just after collection of our luggage (which took a couple of minutes) we were warmly greeted by Amon from Tafika camp. Transfer from airport to camp side took about 1 hour 40 mnts and Heather, the reception manager was waiting us at the gate. She revealed that we were the only guests at the lodge, so we enjoyed our “private” accommodation and game drives during all our time at Tafika! Unfortunately we were unlucky to spot any big cats during our 4 game drives, but there were a plenty of other highlights such as small python, chameleon, mantis, some porcupines and genets and a lot of beautiful birds of course. Our guides were Bryan and Amon. And we have never seen any other car during our game drives – it’s a great advantage of Tafica remote location.

After two “VIP” days at Tafika Amon transferred us to Puku Ridge which took about 2 hrs. We arrived just in time for lunch. Puku Ridge seemed more luxurious but far less rustic then Tafica. The view from the terrace of our chalet was fabulous – we could enjoy the game without standing up from our sofa or even the bathtub – elephants, zebras, hippos, buffalo, impala, puku, monkeys, squirrels posed in front. At game drives we watched a 9 lion pride hunting against zebras – but they eventually missed them. Also at night drive we were lucky to see 3 leopards, one of them was eating the killed kudu, the other one was relaxing on the tree. Our guide was Lameck and the manager Levis met and saw off us before and after each drive.

The return transfer to Mfuwe proceeded for just more than 1 hour and our return flight to Lusaka took off also on time. So, many thanks again for your assistance and management, everything passed perfectly.
