All my trip with Lochinvar Safaris was amazing !
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
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.
