We spent 5 nights at Flatdogs Camp in the middle of June 2009, 3 nights in a safari-tent and 2 night in the jackal-berry tree house. The safari-tent is a big tent with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. The tent was really comfortable with a view out on the Luangwa river that makes the border to the national park. On... more

A wonderful safari camp, with a wide range of accommodation options. We stayed in the tree house, which is a raised suite with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a central lounge. The front is completely open, and we saw numerous elephant and giraffe from our bed / sofa. Game drives and walks from the hotel were excellent, seeing game before... more

Flatdogs is in a very good location. The accomodation is wonderful and we enjoyed our stay here. The night watchmen that walked you around the camp at night were very helpful and polite. Shame avout the food tho. We ended up having only two meals in the restaurant because they food was bland and an apealing. The staff were very... more

We had the best possible end to a month in Africa at Flatdogs camp. Having driven ourselves for the rest of the trip it was a fantastic treat to be taken out on the game drives - our driver River was excellent, especially his bird knowledge, and it was here that we saw the predators, especially the cats, far surpassing... more

We stayed at Flatdogs in April 2008 as part of our honeymoon. We stayed in two other camps in the area but Flatdogs was by far the rest. The first two nights we stayed in one of the chalets which was superb. Very cool, spacious and in a beautiful spot down by the river where you can hear the very... more

We spent a wonderful 8 days at Flatdogs. It was our first safari and we decided to go to S Luangwa as there appeared to be a good chance seeing game at close quarters. The reviews on a number of websites led us to Flatdogs and did we make the right choice. We decided to stay in one camp so... more

We had initially intended to stay at Mfuwe Lodge (where we had a great experience when working on the Copperbelt in the 70s) but it was soon evident that it has moved 'up market' and priced itself out of our comfort zone. We ended up at Flatdogs after reading reviews here (and elsewhere) indicating that it would be more our... more

I can't really rate our experience here highly enough. The thing about Flatdogs is that you just feel instantly at home and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. Jess, Ade, Paolo, Cathie and Jabes our guide, went out of their way to make our stay a truly memorable one. Although there is a big range of... more

6 of us spent 2 nights at Flatdogs at the end of our 3 weeks in Zambia and had an amazing time. The staff are very friendly and the location is perfect. Safari tents were comfortable and clean and the food was good. We were fortunate to have an excellent guide (his name is River and his night assistant was... more

We have been visiting African game parks for more than 30 years, but this was our first trip to Zambia. Our first contact with anyone from Flatdogs Camp came when Yotem picked us up at the Mfuwe airport. A nicer fellow one cannot imagine. In fact, this could be said for all the employees at Flatdogs. This is a well-run... more
