TESTIMONIALS

A frequent traveler to Africa since 1975, I had the pleasure to visit numerous destinations in Zambia in 2017 with a group of friends. Our tour was organized by Gayle and every day was an adventure and the chosen facilities and destinations were exceptional. From top end glamping at the Silvio Rech/Lesley Carstens designed King Lewanika Lodge and Chinzombo to more rustic bush camps , we enjoyed every moment and had absolutely no glitches from the beginning to the end of our safari.
