What an amazing place. We loved it. We had a tent, which was perfect. There is a lot of wildlife directly on the property. We saw countless baboons and impalas. We were privileged to see the local hippopotamus come and mow the lawn in the late afternoon and once again at night a few feet from our tent. When we left, there were 10 giraffes roaming on the 500 meter long road to the hotel. Room was good. Lots of hot water and a fan to keep cool. Restaurant had great food and all the hotel staff was awesome. Our favorite place in Africa so far!

Can't say enough good things and Track & Trail. From being picked up a the airport by staff member Albert whom was very kind and welcoming. Upon arriving we were shown to our rooms which were beyond expectations. Very clean and beautiful. After settling down and went to have dinner we were met our hostess Chi Chi the sweetest lady ever. Had a great meal and a very sound sleep. Could not recommend this place enough to anybody looking for a great experience in Zambia.

The staff was exceptional from meeting us at the airport, check-in, meals to our game drives. The rooms were very clean and maintained during our stay. The food was very good however, we would have liked to see some more local options on the menu.

It would be hard to find a better accommodation and safari option than Track & Trail. Dedicated operator and staff, wonderful riverside location, comfortable and attractive facilities, and high quality and tasty food. Even the tap water is drinkable. The drives always located animals, and the guides are knowledgeable and friendly. Prices are good. Highly recommended.

Regrettably, our recent stay at the place was unsatisfactory. The premises were unclean and unorganized. The reception staff lacked hospitality, leaving us unwelcomed and frustrated. Your establishment failed to provide the expected level of service and ambiance.

We were inches from bush buck, monkeys and baboons. Hippos emerged from the river nearby. The stillness of the African bush interrupted by bird and animal calls. Excellent attentive service and delicious meals prepared with great care and skill. Our guide was very knowledgeable about birds, beasts and trees!!

Camp was good, however due to remote location and no vehicle, you had to eat at the camp, which if on a budget you need to factor this in. $35 US and drinks.

Great alternative to the upscale lodges

I can’t understand why this lodge was not fully booked, as I truly loved the design and the value for money. Even factoring in game drives and national park fees, I paid about half what some of the more upscale lodges would have cost. The pool is amazing with a lovely river view; I enjoyed the outdoor gym and the manager was super friendly and ensured that I could go on game drives with the neighboring lodge when the minimum wasn’t met to send the Track and Trail vehicle. The latter is the most comfortable I have come across in South Luangwa, by the way. That said, if you are on a budget, factor in that the meals are somewhat expensive for the portion sizes and you will need to pay 25 USD in park fees per day on top of the game drives. Plus, for a solo traveler, the transfers from the airport are very expensive. On the other hand, water is free, which is great. I woke up to elephants and hippos walking through the camp…unfortunately, I missed the leopard. The game drives take place in the main area which was a little bit more crowded than I would have thought expected, but Vic, the camp’s excellent guide, always did his best to avoid the crowds. Plus, I saw 5 leopards in 2 days - way more than around the more exclusive camps I visited afterwards. I really hope the camp will be fully booked in the future as it’s a truly lovely place.

ゴージャスなサファリ経験ができます

楽しい滞在となりました。2階建てコテージに宿泊。写真どおり、寝室やトイレ、シャワーはきれい。食事のチョイスが少々、乏しいですが、タイ風カレーやハンバーガー、ピザ、ステーキなどもあります。225ドルのフルボードもありますが、われわれはフルボードにせず、昼はルサカのスーパーで買ったクッキーやパン、ジュースを食べ、夜はレストランで食事をしました。2泊3日しましたが、モーニング・サファリとナイト・サファリを滞在中に1度ずつ経験するのがよいと思います。次の宿泊客がいなければ、夕方のフライトまでお願いして、レート・チェックアウトも可能です（無料）。カードはVISAとマスターで決済。
