Each thatched chalet is raised on stilts with their own private verandah and en suite facilities.

Comment: We loved the Safari. They were able to offer the same safari as other operators at a substantial reduction.

The Lodge couldn't have been better. The drive to and from Lilongwe to the gamepark was seamless and easy. The driver was willing to make any stops that we wanted.

We highly recommend this Safari Company.

Comment: I must say that normally I would make all the arrangements myself once I arrive at a destination so I was reluctant at first to use your services; with that said, your team did a fantastic job making our trip fun and trouble free.

We had the best time at the Safari Lodge in South Luangwa. The people there were terrific and it wasnt crowded.

Please tell everyone that Janelle and I had the best time! I would recommend you to anyone planning a trip to Africa.

Comment: The safari was very good.

I actually spent the time with the Lodge staff and guides I stayed at. The operator did a very good job of arranging my stay there and ensuring all the details such as airport transfers were covered. The Lodge is an excellent place with well-trained professionals, a superb chef, and very comfortable accomodations.

I would recommend this tour operator without qualification to anyone travelling in that area who wants to see South Luangua National Park.
