My Apr 2022 trip
Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 7 Apr 2022 and 17 Apr 2022
"After a traumatic year, this was an extremely welcome holiday.
The friendly and informative service from Tracy was fantastic. All aspects of the organisation from Expert Africa was as usual brilliant.
We were a family ageing from 70 to 9 and we all loved Andrew and his mobile Safari staff. We were sad to leave him.
Thank you Tracy for arranging such a super trip"

Botswana Private Mobile Safari
"Botswana Private Mobile Safari review"
6 nights
Arrived
10 Apr 2022
"I am fortunate to have been on Safari a few times. Andrew is the best guide we have encountered. His knowledge and love of Botswana was obvious. He was especially kind and patient with the children.
The organisation of his mobile Safari was impressive. The staff were lovely and the food was amazing all cooked with an open fire."

"We went to watch cricket, but we enjoyed many other aspects of the Cape and had an excellent time.
The information we received was good and so were the driving instructions"

Cape Grace
"The best hotel"
6 nights
Arrived
1 Jan 2020
"This was the best hotel we have ever stayed in. This was because of its position but mostly because of the staff who knew our names as soon as we entered the door, and could not have been more helpful. They organised and helped us with most of our trips in and around the city.
The rooms were very well appointed with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was excellent too with a huge variety of beautifully presented food."

Grootbos Garden Lodge
"Very relaxing "
2 nights
Arrived

"What a lovely view from the lodge!
We enjoyed many of the activities that the lodge provided, including the walks and the horse riding which was in beautiful part of the estate. Excellent guides.
We felt that they were possibly trying too hard with the food, some of which didn’t quite live up to expectations."

The Lodge is in an excellent position within sight of the Falls spray and the sound of the water. Short walk to the falls. The food was very good especially the breakfast. The staff were very helpful (in a slightly disorganised way).
The children loved the swimming pool."
