Xiaoyan, July 2010
I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the camps. It is true that I saw 5 leopards, and was almost charged by a hippo; and that each night I was serenaded by the lions and the hyenas, and each morning I was greeted by the most beautiful sunrise over the ancient river...
Teresa and Will, August 2010
We have just returned from our honeymoon in Zambia - during which we spent a week with Norman Carr safaris. We wanted to write and say what a fantastic time we had. We booked via Hartley's Safaris in the UK, who recommended Norman Carr to us - and...
Mr and Mrs W, June 2010
On behalf of my wife Rebecca, I'd like to say thank you for a fantastic honeymoon that we enjoyed with yourselves last week. Although British Airways did their best to disrupt our flights, it didn't cast a shadow over our experience, and our first drive into...
Stephen B, January 2010
It took me 19 years to get back to my favourite place in the world- the South Luangwa Valley, once again at a rejuvenated Kapani lodge and having the same guide, the infamous Abraham Banda. Nothing let me down! This was just how I wanted to experience the best...
Anita, September 2009
Wow wow wow - what can I say, we had the most utterly truly fantastic totally brilliant time at your camps. Going direct from London to J'burg, Lusaka, Mfuwe and Nsolo was an amazing experience, with a super warm welcome especially from Priya and...
Adrian B, August 2009
Driving to Mchenja from the airport we were treated to some excellent game. Elephant, Buffalo, lions, Hyena and even wild dogs, all in the space of a couple of hours - fantastic!
Carol D, July 2009
Please thank all your staff at Luwi, Nsolo and Kapani lodges for making our safari so wonderful. The lodges, the food and the guides were marvellous.We wanted a holiday of a lifetime and it was even better than we had hoped for. You kindly said...
Kris, July '09
My father, Ned had a wonderful time and many lovely memories of the bush, walks, and all of you! As a "third time guest", it is beginning to feel more like "family" than just a "tourist destination". All a tribute to the calibre of people, quality of experience, and exquisite environs of NCS. I thought I would take a moment and share some thoughts about our stay, in case this would be helpful...
Trevor Blythe, June '09
My wife Jill and I have just returned from our Zambian holiday, having spent time with your teams at Kakuli, Luwi, Nsolo and Mchenja. We had an absolutely fabulous time. Not only is the South Luangwa a great destination but the Norman Carr service was outstanding. The accommodation and food were terrific and the quality of guiding was truly excellent everywhere...
The Travis Family, January '09
Thank you to all the staff at NCS who have succeeded in changing our lives!! Especially to Levi our guide whose patience and joy in sharing the secrets and wonders of the bush with us and generosity in inviting us to meet his family we will never forget. The children especially left Zambia with their horizons broadened beyond our imagination...
Judy and Bruce Ballard, November '08
Thank you to everyone for making our first visit to Africa so memorable and very special. We have come back with so many memories and hope to return sometime. Thanks to Lucinda and Pam for looking after us so well. Aubrey is a special guide whose knowledge knows no bounds...
Bridget and Mike Munro, November '08
Thank you all for the most amazing holiday. It was our first trip to Africa and we never knew where to look next, it was all so fascinating. We still cannot believe how brilliant our guides were - and how good their eyesight must be! The lodge staff were first class, from our hosts and chefs to the laundry boys...
Amy and Bob Stumpf, October '08
We especially enjoyed Kakuli Bush Camp, with Host & Guide Aubury and all of his assistants. The walking tours & game drives were exciting. The same goes for Mchenja Bush Camp hosted by Richard & Sue (they are engaged) and Guide Levi, very knowledgeable & professional...
Ray Betros, September '08
We had a great trip - and, with 3 (4 if you count a distant sighting) sightings of leopard, you can keep your hat for sun protection!! We saw "Alice" on evening of the second day and then on a night drive a couple of days later a single leopard walking along a clearing. Finally a male eating an impala in a tree, a female with 2 cubs came along...
Paul Smyth, September '08
We have just returned from a holiday of a lifetime in Zambia. During our stay we encountered amazing people and places but unfortunately Kapani would have to be at the bottom of the five camps we stayed at. Although the camp itself was well appointed and comfortable, Paul and I felt that we had gate-crashed a party and were therefore feeling like uninvited guests...
Andrew, Paivi, Kyle & Cameron Blair, July '08
The NCS team certainly made our stay in Luangwa a most memorable and fantastic holiday that we will remember for ever. The hospitality was amazing and everyone has been so friendly and accommodating...
Alison King, July '08
A huge resounding thank you to everyone, Christina, our Guides, Camp Managers and all Camp Staff. It was truly a memorable and exciting visit...
Ernst Schlogelhofer, July '08
My daughter (age 16) and I had a wonderful time with Norman Carr safaris. We spent 6 nights in the remote bush-camps and walked some 100 kilometres in the care of expert guides...
Richard Sooy, July '08
In March 2007 I was the guest of Norman Carr Safaris (NCS) for the Rivers & Rainbows experience. I was so impressed with my visit that in June 2008 I brought my wife and 3 friends back for 10 days of Walk on the Wild Side...
