If you are thinking of going on a Safari then visit Royal Zambezi Lodge! We have been on a number os safaris over the years and this was the best safari we have ever been on. The level of guiding was exceptional - we saw 7 lions eating an elephant, a male lion kill an impala and a leopard and her 2 cubs all on our 4 night stay. The Wild Dogs were denning just behind the camp, and we were lucky enough to see 3 of them come out for a hunt. The special thing about the Lower Zambezi is we rarely saw another vehicle so all these sightings were just for us! There were hundreds of elephants, including in camp which was a real treat. The food was out of this world, with surprises around every corner from tea in the bush to water lunches and dinners out in the bush under the stars. The lodge itself is stunning and very cleverly designed to feel safe but yet have the wilderness experience every safari goer seeks. They do an activity called a D.N.A - "Do nothing at all" where you can relax at the lodge and watch all the animals around the lodge itself and soak up Africa for a morning or afternoon. If you are not one for resting then there is something for everyone with a vast array of activities on offer -game drives, fishing, walking safaris, canoeing, boat safaris, mountain hiking and they have a spa! If you have been on safari before or this is your first time, go to Royal Zambezi. You will not be disappointed.

Great time on safari!

Good price, great service and amazing food
