Angus Maclaren at Walks in Africa has put together a holiday itinerary for us every year since 2010, in fact, he organised 2 holidays for us in 2013. This review is of our most recent trip to Africa and I can only say that it was just brilliant! We had been to the South Luangwa National Park in a previous holiday that Angus arranged for us. That was in the dry season. After that trip, Angus recommended that we try the same location in the rainy season. So, that is what we did in January 2017. We had 8 nights in 3 lodges run by one of the top local safari specialist companies followed by 3 nights in a boutique hotel in Johannesburg. This was another fantastic holiday. Angus does much of his research in person by visiting the locations that he subsequently advises upon. He uses only the best local agents to match the superb attention to detail in his own planning and, as with all the others, this holiday went exactly according to plan. We were very well treated everywhere. Our guides were exceptional and I cannot muster a negative out of the whole trip. Even the rainy season weather was relatively kind to us! Highlights: 1. An elephant up a tree – well, sort of! 2. Following a female leopard and her year-old cub along a track 3. The beauty of the location of Luangwa River Camp 4. The walking safaris in the lush, green bush landscape 5. Dinner on the riverside Nsefu 6. Sundowner at Nsefu while watching the most beautiful sunset over the river 7. My full English breakfast out in the bush near Nkwali 8. The sighting of “Ginger”, a huge male lion with a ginger mane Thank you again, Angus, for putting together a terrific holiday for us . . . .
