In a few days you see and learn a lot about Zambia: the culture, the nature and zambezi river.
4/5

If you want to see and learn a lot about Zambia in just 6 days then the trip of Lochinvar Safari is perfect for you. In a SUV we travelled from Lusaka to Livingstone whit 4 poeple. So it was almost a private tour. The schedule was good and flexibel if necessary. The accommodations and food were good but not luxury. Mark, how drove us safely, told and shown us a lot about Zambia. We always feld safe on this trip. The rafting and the Victoria Falls were amazing. We saw and learned a lot about Zambia in a few days for a good price.

Small group tours dedicated to showing you the REAL Zambia experience!
4/5

My companion and I took the Zambia: 10 Days Nanzhila Cultural, Historical and Wildlife Safari Adventure” tour in May of 2022. We chose this tour because it was a well balanced tour including time spent in villages with actual villagers, historical sites, natural wonders, and wildlife of course. I was born in Zambia but was very young upon my family returning to the States. So I was excited to see and experience for myself, all that I had seen pictures of and heard stories of life there. The tour did not dissappoint! Because it ended up being just the two of us on the tour, the operator was able to customize the tour a bit to include the place where I was born and the village we lived in. We even got to meet the chief there! Tour is fast paced but with enough time to feel immersed. We were very well taken care of and the guides made us feel like family. We were grateful to find a tour operator that enabled us too afford our dream homecoming trip. The only reason for the 4 stars instead of five is due to a couple of last minute lodging bungles that were stressful. But in the end, we would do it all over again. We have so many amazing memories. Thank you Lochinvar Safaris!

All my trip with Lochinvar Safaris was amazing !
5/5

I travelled with Lochinvar Safaris in September 2023. Mark provided me with lots of activities and tours and made my trip exceptional. He is very professional and loves his job. He is not in it for the money, his priority is to make the customer happy with their trip. Thanks to him, I was able to visit the Busanga Plains and see around twenty lions, leopards, crocodiles... I also went to the Lower Zambezi where we did a Sunset cruise on the Zambezi River, which was exceptional. I also visited Lusaka, Livingstone and Victoria Falls. Thanks to Lochinvar Safaris, I was also able to visit Botswana and Zimbabwe and everything was amazing. Thank you Mark for this adventure, and I wish you all the best for the future.

From Livingstone: 3-days safari travel to Kafue National Park (southern part) tour
5/5

Lochinvar Safaris has been doing great work. I had excellent time with them for three full days.

Not only that but booking and discussion about plan was smooth. Mark is great communicator and organizer. His team is well committed to provide good experience for customers. We left Livingstone in the morning, and throughout a day there are lots of information Zambia’s history and tradition.

One of first highlights was visiting Pioneer cemetery, originally dedicated to Rhodesian Pioneers. Must visit for anyone who’s interested in this part of Zambia history.

Drive to (and back from) Kafue NP is great, opportunity to visit local villages and how people live, plus view of great flora and fauna.

Two nights stay at Itezhi tezhi town was well experience. Good accommodation, nice host and people who work there. It was great opportunity to have good dishes made of local ingredients, mostly fresh fish from nearby lake.

The second day was drive in KNP, again great flora and fauna. Lots of opportunity to see various birds (like national bird Fish Eagle) and various animals. The safari guide was native from Kafue NP, very knowledgeable about his native land. We also visited Game Rangers International (located in KNP), dedicated to rescue mostly orphaned elephants.

Finally, it was nice visiting Longola Hot Springs, and have opportunity to see how local people enjoy it very much.

You want the Zambia experience book Lochinvar Safaris!
4/5

If you want to see the real Zambia go with Lochinvar Safaris! We travelled with Mark from Lusaka to Livingstone , with 4 people in a jeep. He gave us a lot of information and history of Zambia, really interesting! We saw the real life of the Zambian people. We ate with our hands in local restaurants. Every day we had a briefing over the next day, the time schedule is flexible. Dutch people are more strickt, I guess. The lodge we sleep in Livingstone was standard, the beds are short, but okay. It was clean but nog very fancy or luxury. We made some tours, really like the boat safari! We had one day of and Mark booked for us rafting at the Zambezi, great experience!!! If you want to see the big 5, or other wild animals, you go to Botswana at your free day. I’ve heard that’s really cool! The little park in Livingstone you can see the rhinos. I’ve had a very good time and one day I hope to see Zambia again!
