"Memories to last a lifetime"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 26 May 2018 and 11 Jun 2018
"Maruska organized a vacation for my husband and me, and her expert knowledge and prompt, informative communications were invaluable, ensuring a painless and memorable experience from planning to booking to actually embarking on our trip.

The fact that our trip was as seamless and amazing as it was is attributable to Maruska--we cannot thank her enough for such an incredible trip!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"A good holiday and well organised"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 24 May 2018 and 4 Jun 2018
"We were very happy with all the arrangements that Expert Africa made for us, although we were disappointed with Little Kwara.

It was unfortunate that we only spent one night at Little Kwara due to my wife's illness and missed all the game drives, as they may well have compensated to some extent for the disappointing accomodation, but who knows!

We would have liked to have been told that Little Kwara was about to close as this probably was the reason it was so rundown, we may then have decided to change to another lodge." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"My May 2018 trip"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 13 May 2018 and 23 May 2018
"This was a wonderful holiday and a great experience. Many thanks to Tracy Lederer for her excellent advice in creating our itinerary.

Victoria Falls was a great way to start the holiday. The Wilderness Safari camps at Little Vumbura and particularly Chitabe Lediba were fantastic, giving us a great combination of water and land based activities. We are big fans of Wilderness Safaris - their camps are obviously not cheap but are truly spectacular.

Chobe was also a good way to relax at the end of the holiday. We have done several safaris before but Botswana is without doubt the most spectacular destination - the wildlife, bird life, scenery and landscapes and the people are wonderful.

We hope to return one day and will definitely use Expert Africa." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Sable Alley May Trip"

I visited Botswana between 10 May 2018 and 14 May 2018
"We have always loved the bush and we will always return. The bush restores ones sole. It is always a privilege to be part of an adventure like experiencing Sable Alley.

We rate this camp as one of our better camps we have experienced in Botswana. (We have had the privilege to experienced premier camps etc)

Overall experience; trip as a whole:

Keep up the good work.

As it is always a pleasure dealing with someone who makes you feel that they are in control and they know exactly what you want." Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"Zambia and Botswana 2018"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 7 May 2018 and 13 May 2018
"Great trip, everything went so well. No glitches.

The connections and transfers were all seamless. Chobe River crossings between Zambia and Botswana was easy.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We are so impressed with the trip Lucy put together for us. Even though we just saw a small corner of Africa it was truely amazing.

Lucy really listened to what we wanted to do and made it all happen" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"My May 2018 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 3 May 2018 and 15 May 2018
"Megan arranged a wonderful safari for us in Botswana. She listened carefully to our needs and hopes. With her first hand experience of the country she put to a most enjoyable programme with a variety of camps. She was very friendly and extremely efficient replying speedily to our emails.

From our arrival in Maul tour departure from Livingstone the package, including all Border crossings, flowed seamlessly and without difficulty. The various guides who met us organised tickets and visas speedily.

With hindsight two camps were close together but we appreciate that availability and distance may have been a limiting factor. A camp further up into the the delta would have allowed us to compare the wet areas with the dry areas.

In short a great experience. Thank you." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Excellent"

I visited Botswana between 25 Apr 2018 and 8 May 2018
"We had a wonderful safari and our love for Botswana is as strong as ever.

Re the camps themselves, the luxury and style we experienced at several (mainly Duba Suites and Mombo) rather eclipsed the feel of being ‘in the bush’. We prefer something more simple - less luxury and less grand accommodation. Therefore we may head off next time to Zambia or Tanzania.

We presume the companies owning the camps are marketing the USA market and that the luxury is designed to attract many first timers who would otherwise not visit. Quite a few guests we met were Americans who had not been to Africa before and just wanted to ‘tick off’ the big five. And not interested in birds or trees/plants. There is a danger of a Disneyland type situation." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari
