Zambian Safari Lodge Experience
Explore Plus arranged our fly-in trip to two safari lodges in Zambia, both run by Green Safaris.
All our travel arrangements took place seamlessly and Explore Plus must also be congratulated on their safari lodge choices.
Ila lodge is located on the east bank of the Kafue River, opposite the national park.
We had good game and bird viewing experiences, but the main attraction of the lodge is the river itself, and river cruises are freely available to guests.
The lodge is superbly run by excellent, friendly staff.
The rooms and central hospitality area are immaculately cared for, and the standard of food was astoundingly good.
Shawa lodge is located on the east bank of the Luangwa River opposite the South Luangwa national park.
Once again, the standard of service, staff friendliness, food and attention to detail were all excellent.
Game and bird viewing in the park is exceptional and the experience was enhanced by our highly knowledgeable game guide.
Overall, a great experience thanks to Explore Plus.

Botswana Safari (10 - 16 May 2026)
I just want to say thanks-a-million for the exceptional safari put together by Bianca and team at eXplore. I lack words to describe the beauty of the Okavango Delta. The way the water just flows across the landscape is unbelievable. To see the Delta from the sky gives a birds eye view and bring home the magnitude of the landscape.
The two camps (Sable Alley en Mbamba) were top class and the staff exceptional. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble for them. They spoiled us like queens.
In the beginning, the amount of water on the flood plains was quite scary. Crossing them with the Land Cruisers was definitely not for sissies or nervous passengers 😊.
My personal highlight was the MackAir bush pilot flights between camps and the additional scenic helicopter (without doors) flight at Mbamba camp.
Best wishes until next time - keep doing what you do !
