We traveled for 25 days in Zambia, Botswana, and South Africa and stayed in 5 safari-type camps during that time -- the Jackalberry Treehouse at Flatdogs was our favorite experience. It was a great value -- we paid three times as much for a great place that is highly recommended in the Okavango Delta but felt that our experience at... more

We spent 4 fantastic days in the Jackal-Berry Tree House at Flatdogs. In order to see elephants, giraffs, monkeys, antilopes and baboons, all you need to do is re-arrange your pillows and sit up in bed. Apart from the superb game viewing the service was top notch and the comfort of the treehouse was much more than we expected. We... more

We stayed for three nights in the Tree House at Flatdogs (August 3 - 5th) - what a great start to our South Luangwa experience. The Tree House provides a very 'close encounter' with wildlife and we loved it. The staff were all so helpful and considerate - nothing seemed to be too much trouble. They ferried meals down to... more

Stayed here with my daughter after having travelled Zambia from Livingstone to Solwezi. Spent four days in the treehouse and felt absolutely pampered. Meals delivered hot to the deck and enjoyed while watching the wild life, game drives with a most knowledgeable driver and guide (Malama), courtesy and attention by staff (Thanks, Japhet) and the delicious meals provided by the... more

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
