Monique van S. –
Our holidays in Zambia were great, everything went well, no complaints what so ever.
4×4 I rented at the airport, it was ok, though in the beginning a bit hard because of the right side steering..
We liked South Lounga a lot, the place there was beautiful, also the lodging, we also liked Lower Zambezi, though it was really remote with our 4X4, the road was really bad. Victoria falls was of course great, but the hotel was a bit to massive, not really stylish but the price quality was of course ok.
Thank you!
Monique
