What People Say

Carol and Phil R.

Each lodge was unique and each provided a very special experience. Kambaku River Sands was our a first lodge. It is outstanding in its accommodations. The dinner experiences were 5 star and the bush drives always gave us an outstanding hunt for wildlife. Munchenje was our second lodge but we do not consider them second place. Where Kambaku was in the bush, Muchenje is wide open and savanna like. Each game drive was special and unique and we loved both places.

We just returned from our first trip to Africa and cannot express in words how very pleased we are with our experience to Africa. AAC planned the most magnificent trip of a lifetime for us. If a safari is on someone’s “bucket list” we highly recommend doing one and using AAC as your booking agent!
