"Great holidays in beautyful Botswana Nov 2018"
I visited Botswana between 27 Oct 2018 and 16 Nov 2018
"Only the trip to Chitabe Camp was organised by Expert Africa, but we vere very satisfied with its service. The reason we chose Expert Africa was that they show the open places in the Camps on their homepage and were able to provide us bookings in
our preferred Camp Chitabe (we first tried with another (Swiss) agency and were told that it is fully booked!). We were very satisfied with Expert Africa's service. Chitabe Concession was amazing. Also the rest of our holidays, partly organised by an operator, partly organised by ourselves, was very satisfactory and local people were always very friendly and helpful. We very much appreciated also the low criminality risk in Botswana." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2018 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 20 Oct 2018 and 2 Nov 2018
"Val and I live 70 miles apart and do not see each other regularly. She does not regularly use the computer and does not have the ability to print material, which I made clear on at least two occasions during the booking process, asking that everything sent to me should be duplicated to her and assumed that this had happened. However it did not happen until emails and phone calls from both of us tried to rectify the situation, which was frustrating and worrying, as it undermined our trust in the whole booking procedure. It angered Val considerably and you will have on record her various phone calls, We discovered on the journey that she still did not have the full itinerary as we had both requested. This is a shame, as it was an amazing experience meeting most of our wishes let down by inadequate administration and a lack of comprehension of our situation as travelling friends, rather than friends travelling!
We have both had experience of safaris and Botswana is a wonderful place with absolutely delightful people well trained staff, but I would not recommend it as a first safari due to long distances and well distributed animals, that is just my view."

"My Oct 2018 trip"
I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 13 Oct 2018 and 4 Nov 2018
"Thanks for all help, suggestions and fast follow up, even when we had some challenges the night before we left Amsterdam due to flight changes the next day from Johannesburg to Windhoek.
Great you were thinking along how to beat that challenge and giving alternatives for accommodation if we could not make it to our first stop. Thanks Tracy!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Inform your guests esp if they are used to safaris in other countries than Botswana, eg South Africa that the experience can be different. Im not talking about the game viewing which is obvious off course but the experience in the lodges. In South Africa you often for the same amount of money get more value (luxury, guest experience)" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari

"Trip of a lifetime."
I visited Botswana between 29 Sep 2018 and 5 Oct 2018
"We cannot thank Expert Africa enough for helping make this trip a wonderful success. From the beginning this was the only internet site we could find that provided detailed information about each camp, including cost. We tried using a travel agent but they would not book the camps we wanted because they had relationships with specific operators. Though we felt a bit nervous about sending money to an internet operator, we forged ahead and were well rewarded. They took care of everything, including arranging flights from Joberg toMaun to each of the camps. Thank you!"

"Our Okavango Delta Trip Sept 2018"
I visited Botswana between 27 Sep 2018 and 6 Oct 2018
"A smooth and enjoyable trip. Things happened when they should. Both camps were wonderful - Kanana a special favourite. Mack Air was great.
A small glitch in our understanding of the Wifi service available at Machaba that was resolved by the camp manager. More about that in our review.
Thank you Maruska for ensuring all went well. We have many happy memories of our Okavango Deilta adventure.
Kind regards
Brenda & Gavin" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Exellent"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 25 Sep 2018 and 26 Oct 2018
"We had a fantastic holiday in Namibia, Victoria Falls and Botswana. It took alot of planning with the help of Megan but it ended up being even better than we thought it would be.
We had lots of variety but I think we would say the private mobile safari was our favourite thing. When we started our holiday we thought a month away was a long holiday but we didn't once feel it was too long, probably just right really. We saw such amazing things. Megan was great when we had some money stolen out of the safe in one of the lodges, fortunately we didn't need to take her up on her offer to get cash to us.
We found Megan to be very knowledgeable and she always listened to our requests. Thank you for making this a dream holiday." Read full review: 31 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip
