    · October 10th, 2024
    i am sending this review as a very annoyed and disappointed customer who has been swindled out of a large sum of money (Pula 7,500.00) to be exact This was from your agent in Zambia "Lochinvar Safari . Tours, The CEO being Mark Hamande, who had done myself a dirty on not refunding us our money. A man who promised to pay us back - after he put u s in a motel type accommodation which had no restaurant, lounge or anywhere to sit and very far.from any shops and eating restaurants. This stay was booked for five nights. They found us accommodation at the "Mokoro Lodge" in Maun. We were then told that we had to pay, at our own cost, the new accommodation, as they could not transfer the money over to the lodge. We were then told that the accountant from Queness Inn was on holiday in South Africa and that we would get a refund deposited into our Australian banks. What a farce. Our tour guide, Hest,, told us that Mark had been refunded, and he told Hest that he would transfer the monies into our account. WELL 2 months down the line, have not seen anything. . It seems that Mark is not a person of his word and thinks that he can get away with this. As Mark is representing Tourradar, you need to be aware that he is taking shortcuts, and putting people in run down lodgings - we had to move from our original place in Livingstone as well as it had no water to shower. Have lots of pictures you would be horrified if you saw them. Charmain Harris and Jan Siney.

    We had a wonderful time on the 9 day Okawanda. Delta tour which was locally organized by Lochinivar tours. We had a wonderful and experience tour operator named Mark Hampande who took care of us until the tour ended. He is very knowledgeable in every aspect of the this tour and had a wonderful team under him. We were fortunate to have drivers and tour guides who were experienced in what ever they were assigned to do. The draw backs were, one incident a driver turned up over an hour late and we were deprived of seeing many animals as we planned on going early morning. Should have more vegetarian options and also there was no seafood available although it was in the menu. Finally I would like to thank Mark for being such a wonderful person, who looked after us so well an

    The Safari Tour was good value for money compared to other companies but we found a considerable number of improvements that could be implemented: - the 10 day Safari we BOOKED and PAID for was altered to a 9 day by Lochinvar Safaris - notification of the change was not given until a few days after we had paid the full amount (and flights booked). There was approximately A$200 pp price difference between the tours which was not refunded. - Zimbabwe was completely taken out of the itinerary - the bush camp at Moremi was taken out of the itinerary which denied us of the opportunity to experience the bush in the evening - Gazetted accomodation at Wild View Resort, Chobe x2 was changed to a hotel in town overlooking a shopping centre car park! - We were informed the hotel had been booked by the Government for a conference and we had been 'bumped out' - After our refusal at taking the carpark hotel and a strong request to be taken to Wild View Resort only to find it almost empty! - After a convoluted story by Mark we ended up paying for the Hotel on my credit card. The funds were eventually extracted from Mark before the end of the tour - Problems with Mark's motor vehicle at the Botswana/Zambian border necessitated him borrowing US$100 from another member of the group and a one and a half hour delay (OK it's Africa, but!) On a very positive note the support staff and contractors made every effort to make our journey as comfortable as possible and can be complimented on their success. If you have any further queries do not hesitate to contact me Regards Kevin Norris (Chris Maher) -
