Mooie groene locatie buiten Lusaka en 20 min van luchthaven.

8.0

Mooie locatie prima voor doorreis. Lekker buiten Lusaka wel goed opletten hoe je er komt. Volg niet ! De route via Maps dan kom je er niet! Maar volg de route via de website van Pioneer Camp. Ik ben er meerdere malen geweest altijd vriendelijk ontvangen. Je kunt er prima eten tip: zeg hoe laat en wat je wil eten dat scheelt een hoop wachten. Ben er ook met mijn dochter van 7 geweest zwembad was schoon en veilig. En personeel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Uitermate geschikt voor een start of terug keer van een ( safari ) reis door Zambia vlakbij luchthaven en shoprite. En niet de drukte van de stad.

Geen echte minpunten.

Pioneer Camp was reasonable value, the staff were all very friendly and the grounds lovely.

8.0

The breakfast was very good. The grounds are very pretty and made for a lovely place to sit and chill before going to the airport. The staff were all very friendly and everything was very clean.

Our pre-arranged pick-up from the airport was 50 minutes late. Traffic was pretty heavy but it only took 45 minutes to get to the camp so I suspect we had been forgotten initially. However, the driver was a lovely guy, as were all the staff we met. It was just a shame the delay meant we arrived in the dark and couldn't appreciate how nice the grounds were until the morning. Some food options were unavailable. The chalet was a little tired around the edges but was very clean and the shower good.

bonne adresse pour halte avant/après aeroport

7.0

Oasis de calme entre Lusaka et l'aeroport international dont la proximité ( 30mn ) est le principal avantage de la localisation. Possibilités de restauration sur place Petit déjeuner standard Il y a une petite piscine et un pool bar. Les chambres en chalet sont spacieuses et confortables.

L'accès est compliqué. Le petit dejeuner est décevant La douche de la salle de bain dispose d'eau chaude mais la pression est faible et le reglage de la température aléatoire, il manque vraiment une douchette sur la sortie robinet.

Hi , Thank you so much for hosting me. More importantly , thank you for the hospitality , it was quite a challenge to get to the place, it took me almost 3 hours to get there unfortunately and had to pay a local person from the area to bring me . The premises were lovely, so serene, loved the nature vibe, i wish i had stayed long enough to go for the bird watching. The lady that attended to me, the manager, was exceptionally and i mean exceptionally amazing, she went above and beyond to ensure my stay was great, i just love the willingness and effort put in to ensure that i was satisfied with my room and all. Thank you . I cant remember her name, and i am sorry.

I feel as though some of the bathrooms could be cleaned a bit better. I wanted to have a nice bath but i didnt feel omfortable taking one in the tub i had. Looks like accumulated dirt that have turned into stains.
