Fabulous 2 Day Canoe Trip on the Zambezi River
The whole trip was amazing - especially given my luggage did not turn up and we needed to postpone the start of the trip by one day. Everything got rebooked and whole trip went like clockwork. David from Wilderness Horizons was there 5:30 am promptly and it was smooth sailing .... The canoes, camping equipment, food etc. couldn't have been better. I was so happy that Wilderness Safaris could tailor make my trip for just me on the dates wanted. I went on the trip as the lone female and felt perfectly safe and looked after. Would definitely recommend them and most of all will be contacting Wilderness Safaris for my next trip to Zambia - which I hope is very soon!!!

Awesome and memorable experience
our first time visiting the South Luangwa national park, I never thought it would be possible to travel within our budget as a family. we had a lovely experience to top it all wilderness horizon offered us a very friendly and exceptional service and i must say they also have very good staff who are knowledgeable on different bird species and animals indigenous to Zambia and Africa. Everything worked according to our expectations and plan.

All promises were delivered
We enjoyed every single minute of our safari. The lodge recommended was absolute perfection, we were treated like royalty. South Luangwa National Park has amazing wildlife and everything scheduled ran as planned. Absolute satisfaction, except for the fact that our guide spent a lot of time texting on his cell rather than advising us on wildlife. He may have missed some elusive cats because he was more concerned with his personal cell.

Very reliable tour operator
Very professional and reliable company. Perfect organization and services. They booked everything for us, including domestic flights. We visited Lower Zambesi, Kafue and South Luangwa parks, and the Victoria Falls at the end. We were constantly in touch with Eva of the agency, and always supported for the entire duration of the tour.
Nice lodges, particularly Mopani Lodge.
The guides on the game drives were prepared and professional.
Good value for money.
Wonderful tour in a wonderful country.

A super friendly, remote and luxurious encounter with wildlife in a beautiful environment
Our safari to Lower Zambezi National Park organized by Wilderness Horizon Safaris was an unforgettable experience!
Eva supported us with finding the most suited package for our wishes. She also supported with organizing the payment, which is reliable (for all foreigners being a bit hesitant to send a sum of money to a Zambian account ;) ) and worked well.
Our guide David was both extremely knowledgeable and hospitable. He was able to search the tracks to see a variety of beautiful animals in their natural environment. Supported by the chef he also aranged several delicious picknicks in the park. The landscape of the park is so beautiful and diverse, changing constantly in appearance. It feels relatively remote, which adds to the adventurous experience of being truly deep in the wilderness. Add elephants, hippos, impalas, crocodiles and lions to the mix and you won't believe your eyes. We were even lucky enough to encounter the wild dogs.
The lodge makes you feel completely at home, very comfortable (we concluded best bed in the world) and with a staff that goes the extra mile in everything they do. Don't forget to put off the lights at night, the view on the milky way is stunning.
Basically, we were sad to leave. Everyone interested in a safari, we would definitely recommend to book via Wilderness Horizon Safaris!

He was friendly and told a lot about the country and the people.
The campsite was on an island, it was excellent: half-tent-half-house accomodation, campfire in the evening and some wine:) The "room" was also more than okay, better than expected (from an island without any electricity). Both David the operator and the staff were nice, I cannot say a wrong word to them. The reason why I rated to average comes from 2 reasons: according to the description "Travelling time from Lusaka to Camp takes approximately 4 hrs 30min to 5 hrs." while it was rather 6-7 hours (not counting the switch of the flat tire); so practically almost 1+1 days spent with just being on road. The other was that we almost did not see any wild animal (at the very end luckily we caught a leopard). Though I know it's rather an question of luck and for that the safari crew is not to blame, but still it was then bit of a disappointment.
Reply from Wilderness Horizon Safaris
Posted on Sep 20, 2018Thank you Laszlo for the review, it was wonderful to host such wonderful people like you and your girlfriend.
What affected the entire travel time was traffic when leaving Lusaka because of Lumumba road which is under construction, the stopover for Lunch midway and the off road section in Kafue national park which has been affected by trucks that had used that road.
Not seeing big game more especially Lions was disappointing although as you have stated its a matter of Luck.
Several Lions prides would roar but were elusive.
The two nights safari did not gift us with enough big game sightings, usually the more nights spent the more sightings you see
Despite the big game disappointing the small game were graceful as you saw impala's, puku's, waterbuck's, bushbuck's, warthog's, sable, hartebeest, birds, crocs, hippos, monitor lizard on the river, smaller nuctunal animals, Leopard on the game cruise and another on your way out.
We hope the wilderness will be more graceful next time with more big game sightings.
We enjoyed your company and are humbled to have met such wonderful people like you and your girlfriend.

Very serious, professional and caring travel agency towards its customers. In a word: EXCELLENT !!!
A few words are enough to describe my experience with my family (mum, dad and 11 year old) in the national parks of Zambia in June this year: a wonderful country and a fantastic trip !!! And all this thanks to the services booked through Wilderness Horizon Safaris. In my life I have been lucky enough to travel (both alone and with my family) to many countries in the world and to use the services of many local travel agencies: I believe that Wilderness Horizon Safaris is definitely the best agency I have ever dealt with. From the first contacts via email they have proven to be very efficient, timely and clear in their answers to my numerous questions and extremely correct and honest in the prices offered. And when we needed a "change of program" during the trip (transfer by plane instead of by car as initially planned in the agreed program) they were very quick and efficient in resolving everything in an instant as well as attentive in making sure that everything was ok for us. If you decide to travel to Zambia and visit its wonderful national parks, my advice is to rely on Wilderness Horizon Safaris specifying what your needs are, your budget, etc. and they will find the best choices and accommodations for you. Thanks again to Eva, David, Daniel and all the staff of Wilderness Horizon Safaris for the wonderful experience they made us live on our trip to Zambia !!!

Excellent service with a personal approach
I contacted this company two months before my holiday with the desire to go on a safari in Zambia. Before that, I had safari experience in South Africa, Tanzania and Botswana.
The safari was in April. This is not a popular season for safaris in Zambia - many lodges and parks are still closed, there are few tourists yet. It is considered that this is still the rainy season, although it is the very end of it.
Due to the small number of tourists during the rainy season, there were difficulties with flights. I want to say thanks to "Wilderness Horizon Safaris" - by rearranging the parks, negotiating with the lodges and the airline, they were able to organize all the flights according to the program at no extra charge for me. When flying to Lower Zambezi, I was the only passenger on the plane!
I was in three parks - three nights in Kafue (Mukambi Safari Lodge), three nights in Lower Zambezi and three nights in South Luangwa (Mopani Safari Lodge). In Lower Zambezi I was upgraded to a better lodge than planned (to the Royal Lodge) and it was the most luxurious lodge I have ever been to. The other lodges on the program were also very decent, although I didn't really like the managers at Mopani.
The entire safari went without a single problem. The transfers were on time, the manager periodically wrote to me with reminders about the next steps. Despite the rainy season, I saw many animals for which I came here - wild dogs, leopards, genets and others. I even managed to see a successful lionesses hunt during the night game drive.

We would definitely book another trip with Wilderness Horizon Safaris
We chose Wilderness Horizon Safaris to visit Lower Zambezi park and it was definitely a good choice, starting with great communication ( it was a last minute decision) ,pick up from the airport by super kind Daniel who was our driver all the way, great guide Jacob who kept impressing us with his knowledge and the chef Jabes who catered for our vegetarian needs with great imagination, everything was very professional. We stayed in a great lodge at Zambezi river where you could watch and listen to hippos from the deck. We saw so many animals, elephants, lions, buffalos, impalas,, bear ant, crocs. The night safari was amazing, we saw a different side of the wilderness. And because of the rainy season we have the whole park just to ourselves.
We chose 4d/3n safari and in comparison with other companies we think the price was very reasonable.
We loved every minute.
