FAQs
We custom-tailor your experience to what you want. This is why we do not have a set list price. It really is up to how long you want to stay, and if you want to include adventure options. Contact us and we will go through all the options with you to decide on pricing that works for you. The price you pay typically includes your own en-suite chalets (independent cottages with bathroom included), two meals a day, non-alcoholic drinks, and transportation to and from the airport.
We can accommodate for most allergies, but due to the area we may have trouble with some of the more select eating restrictions. Contact us and we can discuss your specific dietary needs.
We always recommend that you go to the CDC website and check the latest news regarding any vaccine recommendations before traveling.
Africa is a continent with many countries. Each country is separate from the others with its own government and politics. Zambia is a very peaceful country, and the village of Mwandi is small and quaint, filled with beauty and the peace of the community.
