Unsurpassed location, brilliant day, very well-organised and safe.

5.00Our guides Vincent and Large were both excellent and very knowledgeable. This was truly the trip of a lifetime. We were lucky enough to see lion, elephants, giraffe, hippos and crocodiles. We also saw lots of impala, wart hogs, jackal, lilac breasted kula, African fish eagle, monitor lizard, kingfisher, and other wild fowl. Lunch at the lodge was very good, the whole trip was very well organised, tan smoothly and to time. Pickups from and to our hotel were also punctual and the driver was very polite.
A worthwhile experience with caveats

4.00We had a wonderful day with HSM Adventures on this tour. The wildlife was phenomenal, the scenery was spectacular, and we made fantastic friends, including with David, our driver, who engaged us in conversations about Zambian culture, history, customs, and life. He was an amazing driver and so mature for his age - we truly cannot wait to see what he's going to do with his career in tourism. He's going to be amazing! We also appreciated how, in general, the day was well-organized and our next steps were clearly communicated. Immigration at the border didn't take nearly as much time as I expected and the process was very smooth. A few notes to those reading these reviews: 1. Many tour groups come to the same room to eat a buffet lunch at the luxury lodge. It was very loud and difficult to hear the host's instructions about beverages - what I heard was "included." I misheard - coffee and tea are included, but soft drinks, water, and alcoholic beverages are not. When waiters came around taking drink orders, everyone began ordering and we followed suit. We should've clarified, and while the cost wasn't horrendous, $3 for a sprite and $2 for water is overpriced, and this is coming from someone living in the NYC region. It also wasn't a necessary purchase since the game drive driver stopped halfway to give us a snack of crisps and soft drinks/water, and the boat tour operator also had a cooler full of soft drinks/water for free. Just keep this in mind if you're trying to avoid unnecessary expenditures. I recommend that management make this clearer to guests upfront and consider offering coolers of soft drinks/water in the cars that transport guests from Livingstone to the Botswana border and back. 2. We came in May and it was much cooler than we expected in the morning. The game drive truck had blankets (bless!), but wearing long pants and a warm jacket is advised. 3. Having visited Kruger National Park a few days earlier, where driving is strictly confined to designated tar and gravel roads, we were appalled that the game drive drivers we experienced/witnessed in Chobe National Park all went on prohibited land just to get us closer to wildlife... While we love photography and the chance to get a closer photograph of lions was thrilling, we were deeply troubled by the drivers' actions. Driving on the grass to approach wildlife felt wrong and at one point, six drivers circled their trucks around a group of seven lionesses. The lionesses were noticeably uncomfortable and began huddling closer together until a path outside of this circle was created. This came across as very disrespectful to the wildlife, but I can't fault the drivers completely because visitors and their expectations of what to see on a game drive are likely partially complicit. I strongly urge management to discourage such behavior from drivers and empower them to remind visitors that what they see is dependent upon what the wildlife chooses to do that day... And as visitors, please humbly accept the rules of national parks and tame your expectations. Off-roading in a private game reserve is different, and we truly felt sorry for the animals that were intimidated.

5.00The tour was just PERFECTION. From the land Safari to the boat tour I’m confident to say it was one of the most memorable experiences if my life. Mateo (Jeep guide) and Large (boat guide) made this experience 10000 more incredible taking us super close to the animals and making us feel so special.
Great service and great tour experience
