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.

EXCELLENT !!!!
EXCELLENT
I'm a freelance guide who passionately accompanies groups of friends around the world. I had the opportunity to work and organize a trip to Zambia with the support of WHS. It's a small agency that passionately organizes safaris in Zambia and other countries. In addition to supporting the local community, it's also very attentive to ecological aspects and respect for the environment. I greatly appreciated their services and their flawless organization, with affordable and sustainable prices. Eva, my contact for the trip, was always attentive to my and our needs, and she, with great patience and passion, helped me make this trip unforgettable for the group of friends I accompanied. I also thank all the guides, drivers, and staff who proved to be up to the task. We spent three nights at the Lower Zambezi Lodge, where we admired the extraordinary and unforgettable landscape of "True Africa." We then spent another three nights at the Mopani Lodge in South Luangwa. This, too, was an unforgettable experience. We observed so many animals in the park, and it's perhaps the place in all of Africa where I've had the best and most spectacular time admiring leopards. All in all, a truly extraordinary trip.
I highly recommend anyone planning a trip to Zambia to contact WHS.

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 professional and great customer service!
Spent three nights at the Lower Zambezi Lodge in Zambia, booked through Wilderness Horizon Safaris. From the start I always received quick and detailed replies, and my questions and requests were always answered. Had to make some changes to the schedule after booking, but that was never any problem. Great customer service! And the safari itself was very enjoyable, at a good lodge in an excellent location!

A few words to describe our experience. Absolutely and utterly perfect!
Wildernesses Horizon Safaris delivered everything they promised and more. The service was impeccable from the first contact. Eva at Wilderness Horizon Safaris answered all of our questions and gave us all the necessary information to make us feel safe and comfortable before our trip. Our leader/driver Daniel really made our trip special. He was kind and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about the Zambian culture just by chatting with him during our drive from the airport. When we arrived at Lower Zambezi we were stunned by the beauty of the lodge and warmly welcomed by the professional staff. The food that was prepared by the chef Jarbis was great and made the experience of the lodge in total even greater. When it comes to the safari we lack words to describe the amount of wild animals we got to see in Lower Zambezi. Our guide John knew almost everything about the animals, birds and plants. His passion was evident and made us fall in love with the nature even more than we already were. In just two days we got to see lions, leopards, hyenas, warthogs, kudus, hippos, zebras and countless elephants, baboons, impalas and birds (the list is definitely longer). John was very confident and knew how to use tracks to be able to find the animals. The experience was magical!
To add, we booked everything at the very last minute and everything was organized to fit into our plans. All in all a safe, comfortable, exciting and once in a life time experience. None of it possible without Wilderness Horizon Safaris. We are incredibly grateful!
