Welcoming, enthusiastic, and accomodating
Mark and his team were all great tour leads for a solo traveler. He arranged everything from airport transfers to 2 nights to Kafue National Park, and a tour around Lusaka & Lusaka NP. It was a great variety of nature and cultural experiences. Transportation was reliable and very timely.
All of the staff were very open and shared about Zambia and their life experiences. It was very honest and open view of the country, and I saw that Zambia is rich in resources and nature but still many people live with day to day challenges. This isn't a "cheap" destination, even though many people live on far less than we do in the Western world, and the tour was fair value for the service and work. I really appreciated how many staff are required to provide 24x7 care from driving to cooking to guide - and how a business like Lochinvar supports many people.

Mark was well informed, very engaging and lovely.
Our tour guide Mark communicated very well and promptly. The tour was organised and well planned. Arrived on time and we felt safe throughout the whole tour. It was educative and informing. We were able to get a feel of all sides of Lusaka. Very kind and polite gentleman, truly made the tour amazing.

Fabulous from start to finish!
I had the most amazing 6 days on the ‘Exciting Lusaka to Livingstone Overland Adventure Safari Tour’ and would recommend to anyone and everyone.
Mark went above and beyond to make sure that I was happy and the tour was marvellously organised, making it effortlessly enjoyable for me. This meant I maximised my time and experienced so much I never would have travelling alone, including wonderful personal tours of Livingstone and the Victoria Falls with Fines.
Also, when arranging the trip Mark always responded rapidly and provided helpful responses to any questions I had. During, he never failed to show up at the time or place we’d arranged and took care to ensure any external activies were with reliable companies, with him overseeing.
Thanks a million to Mark and the Lochinvar Safaris team, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
