We both lived in Kitwe Zambia in the 60's,70's & early 80's and had not been back since I left in 1984. It was a wonderful memorable trip where we started in Lusaka, then went down to The Victoria Falls, back to Lusaka, up to Kitwe and finally to Luangwa Game Reserve. We met friends who we had not seen for over 30 years. A really wonderful trip all put together with the professional help of Ntanda Ventures.

They were responsive whenever I had a question, were knowledgable about the options, and clearly listened when I gave them information or asked questions.
