Another wonderful trip

Zambia between 3 Sep 2018 and 20 Sep 2018

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our 9th time to Zambia and it remains our favorite safari destination.

The camps are all well organised and comfortable and everyone is so friendly.

S Luangwa shows noticeable increase in visitors but game superb and camps becoming more luxurious.

Less walking offered up front and we needed to make it clear that we were repeat visitors who wanted to walk..

Kafue was an experiment in contrast and suited us perfectly. Hope to be back.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Thanks once again.

Expert Africa bookings are well regarded at all camps and we have no intention of booking with anyone else having heard horror stories of other agents"

Kaingo Camp

Kaingo Camp

"Still excellent in every way ."

3 nights Arrived 5 Sep 2018
"Our 5th trip to Kaingo over 20+ years and it still appears to be the best of its type. Neighbouring Lion camp vehicles are now more intrusive and the whole area does not seem remote any more. However the accommodation, service and friendliness of all the staff still make it one of our favorites.

The food is exceptional and Catherine acts as a superb hostess as well as chef.

Walking is possible but no longer top of the agenda. Most guests come for the photographic opportunities and the excellent hides.

Guiding was variable. At its best superb. Newcomer to the guiding team ,Shane , made an excellent impression."

Sandy was a great guide and walks were possible every day.

Waterhole hide was fabulous for mid day viewing. Game excellent."

"Good game in nice green area"

3 nights Arrived 12 Sep 2018
"First time at a Bush camp Company camp. very impressed by the professionalism of the operation. Fanwell was an excellent guide and Camp manager. Walks however were short.

Rooms were very spacious and airy but not rustic. Did not really have the bush camp feel about it.

Sadly it did not have a river frontage as the river has changed course but the waterhole hide made a lovely venue for midday viewing. Area very different to the north. Felt quite remote. Good game.

Food excellent particularly the stir fry!"

Musekese Camp

"Lovely birds but less big game "

3 nights Arrived 15 Sep 2018
"We were so pleased to have included Kafue and paticularly Musekese on our trip and could have stayed longer.

There was a true bush camp feel and together with great boat trips on the river it was wonderfully relaxing. Of course the game was not so prolific as in S Luangwa but it felt very remote and the birds were terrific.

James was one of the best walking guides we have had with seemingly infinite knowledge and great stories. We would really like to go back for longer next time.

The road transfer was long but expertly driven. Would recommend a night in Latitude 15 afterwards to avoid worrying about connections."

It's not the economy stupid, it's the weather

Botswana between 22 Feb 2017 and 1 Mar 2017

Trip rating: Excellent
"Given the extraordinary weather, just prior to arrival, life was made very difficult for the driver/guides, particularly at Nxai Pan, where the vans are required by park rules to stay on existing roads, even if they were so muddy they should not have been used. Ours { Mr T) coped very well. (And was Jessica sent to Nxai to smooth guest relations.?)

Having been to southern africa animal watching on numerous occasions over 30+ years, but always in the dry, a green season trip was very interesting and thoroughly enjoyable, but perhaps only once."

Feedback response

The rains in Botswana have been exceptional this year. More rain has fallen in the rainy season between Dec 2016 and March 2017 than had fallen over all the three previous rainy seasons combined: 2013/14, 2014/15, and 2015/16.

It's been no ordinary rainy season - many areas have been deluged, and as the result some airstrips have had to close whilst they dry out, and many drives have been much, much muddier than normal.

A more ‘normal’ green season isn’t nearly as challenging as this one!

Because of these exceptional and very challenging circumstances, we'd delighted that these travellers found their trip 'very interesting and thoroughly enjoyable'. Even in a normal year, the green season isn’t for everyone - but if you're looking for a contrast to the dry season, then normally it's excellent. The beautiful green landscape, migrant birds, baby animals, reptiles, cloud build up and dramatic sunsets all make it quite different to the dry season. You just need to come prepared to get a little wet - and cheered to note that many camps charge much lower rates at this time!

Nxai Pan Camp

Nxai Pan Camp

"The rains came, prior to our arrival"

3 nights Arrived 22 Feb 2017
"Our stay was dominated by the effects of weather prior to our arrival. After 5 years of below average rainfall throughout Southern Africa, the rains arrived late summer 16/17, but in January and first 2 weeks February were exceptionally heavy culminating in the after effects of the passage of typhoon Dineo, where even Windhoek received more rain than usual in third week Feb.

So arriving 4th week Feb, the condition of the roads in clay mud areas, particularly near the camp was appalling and got worse over the 3 days. Sand roads in the pan and further afield were still good. Although tired, the driver guides struggled manfully on, bolstered by the presence of Jessica to assist with guest relations. She persuaded our guide {Mr T!} to do the full day drive to Baines Baobabs, which was the highlight of our stay, showing varied landscapes and vegetation.

As expected animals were limited except for the large number of zebra present having migrated from Chobe and is the wildlife highlight at that time of year.

The rooms were spacious, and comfortable and the food good.."

Kwara Camp

Kwara Camp

"Kwara Camp review"

4 nights Arrived 25 Feb 2017
"As with Nxai Pan the weather prior to arrival and the resulting conditions , controlled events.The water level in the delta was as high as during a typical flood, usually 3 or 4 months later. (There was considerable local apprehension as to what will happen if a big flood arrIves. )

The elephant grass growth was too high to allow walking, thus drives dominated activities. Possibly due to guest pressure, a mornings Mokoro tour was arranged using all 5 canoes, and by moving access point a boat trip through the delta in Moremi NP was arranged. Both were very enjoyable, although animal sightings were infrequent.

Whilst the animals were well spread out reasonable sightings were had, but the variety of birds was very good throughout.

We were told bird spotting was a minority pursuit but it was a great time to see them. In fact we would say that the green season was not for new Africa hands. The guides were exceptionally informative and knowledgeable. However for us the drives were too long and without sufficient break time for sundowners etc. The spotlight drives were very perfunctory given the vegetation.

As recognised by a forthcoming refurbishment the tents were old fashioned poorly positioned and with very inadequate plumbing."

we had decided not to attempt to eat out and bought food in from convenient supermarket as we entered Windhoek. Hilltop rooms had balconies to each room with convenient table and chairs, allowing relaxed informal eating. Breakfast individually served on this table was excellent."

Coast and Sandwich Harbour

"Adventure day out on coast and dunes."

14 Sep 2016 • All-day excursion

On Expert africa recommendation, this prebooked trip, in two landrovers, 4 people in each, was excellent, enhanced by misjudgement of tide which forced return over dunes rather than beach return. Fabulous views. Guides/drivers excellent, ours English expat.
Good lunch on dunes.

Next day left early for long drive via Cape Cross and Skeleton coast park to Doro Niwas. 8 hrs driving, 9.5hrs total. Saw only 2 vehicles in park. Well worth the effort. Best sector of trip. Good road surface until nearing Twyfelfontein area.

Zimbabwe trip full on

Zimbabwe between 5 Sep 2016 and 1 Oct 2016

Trip rating: Excellent
"Whole trip started in Namibia and was very enjoyable after rocky start due to initial car hire problem. Without Expert Africa s intervention and backing an inadequate car could have proved very problematic if not disastrous.

Also EA information about the newly opened West Etosha through Galton gate proved the key to the Namibian tour. All EA recommended accommodation was excellent as was the Sandwich Harbour tour

Zimbabwe trip a full on safari, Fabulous game .Very dry this year which meant waterholes were great but not a lot in between. Thank you to James for suggesting Camp Hwange. It was just right for us although we probably won't do Zimbabwe again as we prefer the type of walking in Zambia."

Camp Hwange

Camp Hwange

"Full on in many ways"

5 nights Arrived 25 Sep 2016
"Camp Hwange chosen as the safari add on to our Namibia tour , because of easy flight from Windhoek to Vic Falls, land access to Hwange NP, and varied activities at camp, with emphasis on 'walking' and night drives possible. These also distinguish S Luangwa where we have been 8 times over 30 years.

Soon became clear that Hwange walking differed markedly from rest of Africa previously experienced. As soon as a big five animal spotted, or tracks found, this became a tracking and then stalking exercise , with the intention of getting as close as possible , without intentionally creating a hazardous encounter. This evolution from hunting was striking, with considerable discussion over dinner about firearms, particularly with NRA supporting Americans. All the guides supported trophy hunting for cash as the only way to support conservation.
Our guide, a white Zimbabwean, working freelance was extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of of the bush and animals.

found there. He was very keen to please and did suggest varying the usual timetable with a full day out, and a couple of long walks initially 'nature' ones but reverting to stalking if the opportunity arose. The normal timetable was simple breakfast at 05.30, leave at 6.00, return for lunch at ca 12.30. Tea at 4.00 leave at 4.30 with spotlight from dusk till 7.30 with dinner finishing about 9.00. We felt that this did not give enough private time but given the meal times difficult to circumvent. However nobody would complain they weren't getting their moneysworth.

The extreme dryness encompassing Southern Africa this year showed in the reliance of all animals on the few water holes and damned lakes or a couple of natural spring areas. Even the ones accessible from the cam p were up to 20km apart, so it involved considerable travel between sites where animals were prolific.

It should be noted that the transfer from Vic Falls to Camp Hwange took 4.5 hours.of which 2.5 were in the park. A long time if people were coming straight out after a flight.
Description of camp as comfortable but not luxurious absolutely accurate ,food very good. Suited us very well."

Thanks for another great trip

Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Sep 2014 and 28 Sep 2014

Trip rating: Excellent
"We have done so many safaris we have lost count and we thought this trip would just be a fill in. Far from it! There was a lovely balance between the Selous and Ruaha camps and the variety of game was superb.

The variety of activities was less than we hoped as there are no park rangers in the camps (Apart from Kitchaka) to act as guards for walks and no night drives. However in all the camps we had a very personal service and guides who were with you throughout your stay. That and excellent beach relax are two advantages over Zambia.

Thank you James for your excellent choice of camps and for such a smooth running trip. Our appetite is still not satiated, Zambia still has that edge for us and we hope return in the not too distant future."

This camp was run very well and the accommodation was very good, Food also excellent. We were lucky to have a very experienced guide in Festo who suited us very well and was quietly informative and enthusiastic. (some others would have been a bit too noisy for us)

The camp could not provide walks or night drives and this meant it was lacking in variety of activities. There were also a few occasions when this area of the park became quite busy (4 vehicles around lions)"

3 nights Arrived 20 Sep 2014

Beautiful location, very remote and lots of good game.

Everything was very personal ,organised around what you would like to do and very friendly. Superb staff and service .They take great care for your comfort and safety. You would be able to walk (long or short days), and/or drive.

Expert guiding with very entertaining stories although probably did not take into account our depth of prior knowledge.

Since most of the other bush camps (apart from straight camping) have gone up market, this must be one of the few remaining bush experiences left."

Brilliant trip

Zambia between 9 Aug 2013 and 22 Aug 2013

Trip rating: Excellent
"It all went so well and we saw so much.

We have been enough times to know game sightings are not guaranteed but we saw more than ever before . The guiding all the way round was knowledgeable, tailored very much to our experience , enthusiastic and must have contributed to what we saw. Zambia just seem to have it right.

Walking is our passion and there did seem less on offer than before . Getting a game guard seemed to be a bit of a problem at times but nevertheless we always managed to go when we wanted.

Loved the camps. Can't wait till the next time!"

Kaingo Camp

Kaingo Camp

"Entering the luxurious category?"

2 nights Arrived 10 Aug 2013
"Would rather have filled in 'Trip as a Whole First. Overall, with 7 previous trips to Zambia and others to Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, Namibia, and many to SA over past 30 years, this trip was sensational and stunningly good. Any critisisms are minor and almost immaterial. The comparions prescibed by the nature of this form are against the other camps visited here, and not against previous experiences. 'Good' means slightly less than faultless (excellent).

We pick Shenton camps for their position in the park, their concentration on walking, supurb guiding. Derek & Jules Shenton was not at camp during our time there, which would put extra administrative strain on the staff present, but Izzy & Evonne coped excellently. The food was much more stylish than 10-20yrs ago.
Izzy was a competent hard working and welcoming manager, but Evonne as well as being dedicated and efficient was engagingly personable.

The guiding led by Patrick who also has a remarkable personailty and understanding of our ways given his background,i s first class.

We immediately expressed our interest in walking, but could not be accommodated on first morning-- hence slight downgrade on activities. This was rectified at Mwamba."

Mwamba Bushcamp

Mwamba Bushcamp

"Great guiding/cats galore-- staff on leave ?"

4 nights Arrived 12 Aug 2013
"Grading the aspects of location/rooms of Mwamba is somewhat misleading. It is a bushcamp to the riverside Kaingo. It has everything a bushcamp needs.

The one real downgrade was the food. Although we believe still cooking over wood--- an achievement in itself-- we wondered whether the absence of camp hostess Lorraine and the head cook at Mwamba, at the same time as the Shentons from Kaingo had an effect. This in spite of heroic efforts by Izzy and particularly Evonne to cover. It is impossible for 2 to cover the work of 4 hostesses without minor cracks showing in a usually flawless environment.

As it happened for us it was more than made up by the way the guiding allocation turned out. Another family wanted primarily to drive and were allocated an excellent driver/guide from Kaingo.

This left us with the camps chief guide+scout for 4days which for us with complete walking/driving freedom was ideal with outstanding game viewing. Our thanks to Evonne/Izzy for sorting the last morning's guide allocation and to Manem/Gabriel/Peter for being brilliant guides."
