Track and Trail River Camp

Everything was very good organized. Nice lodges and good beds. Also very good foodprocessor. The waiters in the restaurant were very friendly. We had a great holiday and are coming back for sure. The game drive was very beautiful with a good and professional guide.

We stayed at Track and Trail for 6 nights in July 2024 with our daughter (12) . We are self drivers but not campers and Track and Trails was the perfect place for us. The family chalet are large and very comfortable with a nice view over the river, and the food is …out of this world; really the best we had during our 5 weeks in Zambia. The camp is very close from the gate, very important in the morning when you want to enter early in the park. The area of the lodge was incredible with many animals roaming everywhere and so were the staff. All of them were treating us as we were family members and it was really hard to leave this wonderful place. We had great sightings in the park as well, which is a dream for photographers. We can’t wait to come back ! Warm regards, Sybille, Tom and Romane

We chose South Luangwa National Park to observe and photograph leopards and African wild dogs. We selected Track & Trail River Camp because Peter is an excellent photographer and was able to offer us a private safari. Peter, along with his superb tracker, was our guide during the 10 days we spent at his camp by the Luangwa River. Peter is a talented photographer and an experienced guide with an in-depth knowledge of the reserve, its wildlife, and animal behavior. We were always able to benefit from his insightful advice and perfect positioning. His lodge is a little paradise: the warm welcome, the comfort of the chalets, and the inventive cuisine overseen by his wife all contributed to the success of our stay. We will definitely return.

After having visited Zambia several times before , Track an Trail Camp was really a different experience. Apart from the beautiful scenery and the special sightings ( I always felt excited when seeing a leopard, but here we had encounters every day!!) the hospitality of Kirsten, Chichi and Peter was like coming home and being part of the family. The chalet was big and tasteful with view on the river. In three days with Peter on a photosafari he taught me many tricks to use my camera better . The other guides were very knowledgable and friendly like all of the staff . I’ll be back! Pien Grootveld

We spent a beautiful week at Track And Trail River Camp. We organized 7 days of photographic safaris with Peter, an exceptional guide and photographer. Peter always managed to find ideas and photographic situations. The real secret is that Peter knows his park well and can focus on what you enjoy the most (birds or mammals). The photographic days allow you to enjoy the most beautiful colors and moments, experiencing the sunrises and sunsets inside the park. South Luangwa Park is slightly crowded at the entrance (there's only one gate from Mfuwe), but entering and exiting at the right photographic times, you hardly encounter anyone; in any case, just a few kilometers away from the gate, you find yourself completely alone. Peter knows his park and based on our requests/photographic hopes, he was able to find us beautiful situations. He taught us a lot and gave us advice to improve our photography skills. It was interesting to review some of our shots on the computer and see what he thought as a photographer; he gave us many tips. We stayed in a beautiful house with a river view... we want to go back right away! The lunches and dinners were fantastic; we recommend them to anyone passing by, even if they don't stay there overnight: stop for lunch and dinner at least, you will be extremely happy with this decision. The lunches and dinners were always different, always delicious, with a three-course daily menu that changed every time. The recipes and the quality were incredible, absolutely recommended... thanks to the chefs and thanks to Chici who oversees the entire kitchen and the menus! Again, thanks to Peter and Chici for welcoming us and helping us discover South Luangwa!

Located just 5 minutes drive from the National Park main gate, Track & Trail River Camp was the perfect location for our safaris into the South Luangwa Valley. Peter and Chichi are very friendly and professional hosts and the food their chefs produced was the highest quality we experienced in all our time in Zambia. All staff were friendly and helpful, with special mention to Kenan, Eric and Inok. Our Chalet was very comfortable and spacious and the community swimming pool was very much appreciated in the hot weather we experienced. Peter was very helpful with my photography in the 3 days we spent with he and Andrew (Stevie Wonder) our spotter. We will definitely return to Track & Trail.
