An amazing experience with great staff. How many people get to experience going to sleep each night to the sound of hippos munching on the grass outside your window... or getting woken up by a bull elephant tearing the nearby tree apart. An incredible experience with really great and friendly staff. I would recommend this "camp" to anyone wanting a... More

Lets keep it a secret folks. It is a perle of Africa. Best logde I have been to. Nice houses, nice staff, wilderness in the middle of the lodge. Elephants, hippos, monkeys +++ are everywhere in the camp! Could not have been better. The bar was fantastic. Sitting there enjoying a beer while hippos are in the bushes few meters... More

Flat Dogs came highly recommended by a number of people and it certainly lived up to the expectations put before us. We stayed one of the luxury river front safari tents for 6 nights in November, on our 3wk trip in Africa. The tent was well appointed and the beds very confortable. Oh and the tents are far enough apart... More

We've had quite a few trips to Africa, some Kenya, South Africa but a lot of Zambia. For those who don't know Zambia is a little 'rougher' than some of the more better known countries, but all the nicer for that - Zambia trades on being 'the real Africa'. Within Zambia, if you like birdwatching and quiet safaris without seeing... More

The food was delicious and the guides were lovely and friendly. We saw tonnes of animals. The pool was refreshing and the slide was the best part. I travel quite a lot with my family and we have stayed in a range of resorts. As a young person it is really unusual to find such friendly staff who get to... More

Friendly and flexible in a great setting. A well drilled team with excellent logistics. As fellow Africa residents we recognize just how hard it is to deliver this quality of service. Friendly knowledgeable driver guides, well maintained vehicles, superb and very varied cooking with meals when YOU want them! Almost unheard of by us as a family having stayed in... More

I haven't been able to write a review about my brief October trip because I had written a review about planning the trip and how even that was enjoyable so let me add to the chorus here and say that next summer, I will be visiting Flatdogs for the third year in the row and the second time with my...

Our stay at Flatdogs was truly magical. The beautiful setting combined with amazing safaris and comfortable rooms made this trip one I will never forget. I would like to thank all that work at Flatdogs for making the experience what it was. I would love to come back again in the future. More

Jess and Paolo of Flatdogs were extremely helpfull after Nyassa air had completely messed up our safari travel itinerary. We owe Jess big time for all her kind support to us and invaluable help with finding us alternative arrangements to make our travel plans work out. Without her endless patience and maintaining the temporary booking for us much longer than... More

Flatdogs Camp is situated just outside South Luangwa Nationalpark actually it’s on the Southern riverbank of the Luangwa River so it takes only a few minutes to enter the park. Flatdog is the local nickname for crocodiles! We stayed at one of the chalets which are very spacious, no luxury but well kept. Food was good and tasty. I especially... More
