Nkwali and Nsefu in the Emerald Season

On this trip, I visited Zambia between 15-Mar-2012 and 24-Mar-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.

Having visited the South Luangwa, and these camps, in the dry season, we wanted to experience them in the Emerald Season. The trip exceeded our expectations. We saw many different birds, and although the animals are, in principle, harder to spot in the lush bush, we were rewarded with some spectacular sightings, due to the skill of our guides: Braston at Nkwali and Daudi at Nsefu.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I can't think of anything to add!

Sand Martins return to Zambia

On this trip, I visited Zambia between 12-Sep-2010 and 27-Sep-2010 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We enjoyed to return to the South Luangwa. The Lower Zambezi was new to us, and was wonderful.

The holiday exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lucy and all the team at Expert Africa.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We suggest that you include a mention in the Guide to Zambia about the opportunity for visitors to the South Luangwa to help support the Kawaza school and Project Luangwa, if they so wish.

In the land of big cats

On this trip, I visited Zambia between 10-Sep-2008 and 23-Sep-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.

This was our third trip with Expert Africa and it was wonderful. We were hugely impressed by the game density in South Luangwa NP. It was good to stay in the camps which are more isolated and consequently we saw virtually no traffic from other camps.

We are already thinking about our next trip . . .

Suggestions for improvement:

We would have liked to have brought gifts for Kawaza school and perhaps the Expert Africa team could bring this possibility to the attention of future travellers to Nkwali.
