Thanks kimkim for another amazing adventure! Petru made planning our Zambian safari/honeymoon extremely simple. She was there every step of the way and answered all of our questions promptly. We especially enjoyed our safari activities with Green Safaris. They were outstanding hosts and made our trip incredibly memorable. Thanks to all our guides: Cristobel, Albert, Jakob, Frazier, Moses, and Luke. We got to see so much of the Zambian flora and fauna thanks to all of these wonderful guides. All of the accommodations were incredible. It was so cool to be staying out in nature, listening to the sound of hippos eating at night and lions roaming the plains.

Hotel Reviews
Avani Victoria Falls Resort
Mosi-oa-Tunya Road, Livingstone 20100

Within walking distance of Victoria Falls, and having free admission. This was by far the best part of the resort. The pool was nice and having animals wander nearby was incredible. It did feel a bit more commercialized than some of the other camps but otherwise was a very enjoyable hotel!

Convenient walk from the airport terminal. Perfect place to stay for an overnight layover. The breakfast is served early and was delicious.

Shawa Luangwa Camp

Simply amazing! Our first ever safari camp. Situated right along the river, where hippos would wander for snacks at night directly beneath our tent. We thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations. Melania did a great job taking care of us each and every day. The food was fantastic and we definitely ate too much.

Chisa Busanga Camp

This was an amazing camp. The nests were one of a kind and incredibly unique. We really enjoyed having dinner with the other guests each night. The authentic Zambian meal was one of our favorites too, thanks for sharing a bit of your culture with us.

Baines' River Camp
Lower Zambezi Valley

This was a great camp. The food an accommodations were top of the line. The only downside, and this is minor, is that the camp is located so far outside of the National Park. The boat ride to the park was always enjoyable but it felt more dethatched than some of the other places we stayed.

Wow! We had so much fun at Kafue. The wide open plains and plentiful lions, antelope, and even a few cheetahs...memories that will stick with us for a lifetime.

Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Reading it truly made me smile, and I am so happy to hear that your honeymoon and safari were everything you hoped they would be.
It was a pleasure helping you plan such a special trip, and it means a lot to know that you enjoyed every part of it. I will definitely pass your kind words on to the Green Safaris team and to Cristobel, Albert, Jakob, Frazier, Moses and Luke as they will be thrilled to hear how much they contributed to your experience.

I especially loved your description of listening to the hippos at night and knowing the lions were out on the plains. Those are the moments that make Africa so special and stay with you long after you have returned home.
Thank you again for trusting me with your honeymoon. It was a privilege to help you plan it, and I would love the opportunity to welcome you back to Africa one day.
Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness and many more amazing adventures together!
Warm regards,
Petru
