    Wow....loved our safari trip! It was an amazing adventure though 3 countries. The most memorable part of the trip was our guide Fines and our driver Alex. Fines is an amazing guide, he is deeply knowledgeable, passionate, kind and funny, couldn't ask for a better guide. Alex is a great driver, we always felt safe with him behind the wheel, and I loved our chats, he's a lovely guy. We visited 3 safari parks which were great, and loved the days we visited the museums and met locals and even met the district commissioner (what a privilege) There were some hotels that didn't always have electricity because of the drought which can happen in this region but as travellers it gives you an insight of the daily life of this culture/community. Some members of our group had concerns about one of the hotels, and our guides handled the situation seamlessly by arranging a smooth transition to new accommodations. While we were personally comfortable, we were happy to move with the rest of the group Our safari holiday was lots of fun and a perfect blend of adventure and authentic African wilderness. We had an unforgettable and a one in a lifetime experience with Lochinvar Safaris. I don't think it would have been such an amazing adventure without Fines and Alex. A credit to both of them and the work they do :) ❤️

    We’re a family of five, and this trip to Zambia was truly one we’ll never forget. The first part of our journey took us to Mufulira, the town where my dad was born back in the 60s. Mark organised everything for us and made sure it all went smoothly. He actually grew up there himself, so it was a nostalgic experience for him too. What really stood out was how thoughtful he was, my mum’s a vegetarian, and he went out of his way to make sure her dietary needs were looked after. The second part of the trip was with Fines and our driver, Alick—and they were both just fantastic. Kind, funny, and full of knowledge about the places we visited. Thanks to them, we got to see and learn so much we wouldn’t have been able to on our own. There was so much history everywhere we went, and they brought it to life in such an engaging way. The safari at Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park was unforgettable, we had an incredibly close (and slightly thrilling!) encounter with an elephant. We also did a boat cruise through the park with the Radisson Blu, which was really relaxing and beautiful. Victoria Falls was just as amazing as we imagined, breathtaking in every sense. One of the other highlights was a day trip to Chobe National Park in Botswana, which also included a lovely boat ride. Another great adventure! On the last day, my dad realised he’d left his wallet in Livingstone. Without hesitation, Mark arranged for someone to bring it all the way to Lusaka. It was such a kind gesture and really summed up the care and attention we experienced throughout the trip. Honestly, this was one of the best holidays we’ve ever had. We were all really sad to say goodbye. If you’re thinking of exploring Zambia, I can’t recommend Lochinvar Safaris enough. Their team is kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do.

    We had the pleasure of a Kanzwa short holiday break excursion - 2 Nights Safari Tour to Kafue National park. This was at the end of a nearly two week stay in Zambia. I can’t recommend highly enough the staff at Lochinvar. Our guide Fines was full of knowledge, not only about ALL of the animals but local culture and Zambian history. He could not have been more helpful at all times and was always thinking one step ahead for us. Chimuka, our driver to and from Lusaka was always happy smiley and ready with a joke and his driving was very relaxing until you hit the roads with the “African massage”. Not his fault. Our safari driver Dominic has the driest sense of humour known to man. Quietly hilarious, but what a safari driver, getting us into all the best spots for viewing the amazing wildlife. Lastly but my no means least, Angela and her amazing food wow. Beautifully cooked African quisine all supplied by Lochnivar. Thank you guys. The memories will stay with us forever.
