"My Aug 2014 trip"
I visited Zambia between 9 Aug 2014 and 17 Aug 2014
"Service above and beyond every expectation! From the organizing to the follow through - everything was perfect. Every detail attended to. Having the team from Expert Africa greet us at each airport and assist us in navigating the airports, visas and getting us to the next flight was more than we had ever anticipated. I definitely will recommend Expert Africa and use them again if ever I have an opportunity to travel to Africa in the future."

"Excellent safari and Victoria Falls visit"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 6 Aug 2014 and 18 Aug 2014
"Very good - excellent game drives and walks, superb and knowledgeable guiding, excellent accommodation in wonderful situations with efficient and attentive staff. Combining a visit to spectacular Victoria Falls with two safari locations worked very well for us.
The overall trip went without a hitch and we were very impressed with the way all our internal transfers were handled seamlessly by RPS's support staff on the ground.
It has left us with lots of great memories."

"Surpassed our expectations"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2014 and 13 Aug 2014
"It was a brilliant trip and although our expectations were high they were certainly exceeded. Most the lodges were small and gave us the personal service that is so important. It almost felt as though we were staying with friends. We will certainly recommend you to friends and also hope to use you again ourselves.
The only problem we encountered was with the transfers. When we left the car in Katima the transfer peop0le had no record of us and we were delayed by about an hour. the transfer, once it happened, was seamless, but it did cause us some worries as we sat in a café with mountains of luggage. Similarly no one turned up for our transfer to the airport when we were at Victoria Falls. We eventually loaded our luggage onto the last minibus going in that direction and sat5 down so they agreed to take us. I think it was an easier option than trying to move a rather stressed middle aged English couple!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Sort out the transfers" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Brilliant safari and holiday"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 18 Jul 2014 and 31 Jul 2014
"Could not have been better. Had a wonderful time.
Thanks to Chloe for all the hard work she put in sorting out the logistics/dates and all her friendly emails.
Very impressed with &Beyond as we can't recall having been at one of their camps before. Good to mix Wilderness
and &Beyond.

"Our favourite holiday - ever!"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 13 Jul 2014 and 31 Jul 2014
"We have done many long haul trips and we've been to some amazing countries, but this holiday was the best of the lot!
Sabina had made the perfect itinerary for what we wanted and I would hardly have changed anything - just one extra day at Corona Guest Farm would have been good. There were a few highlights - a hot air balloon trip over the desert with a champagne breakfast whilst at the beautiful Kulala Desert Lodge/ Corona Guest Farm as an overall wonderful stay and. of course, the privilege of staying with Arno and Estelle at Nhoma and experiencing the lives of the Bushmen."

"An amazing holiday"
I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 9 Jul 2014 and 30 Jul 2014
"We would go back to Waterberry and the Ichobezi and do exactly the same things again - one of our best ever holidays. Thank you Tracy for your expertise and for getting us the best rooms! and thank you to Chris for recommending Le Duc.
If we go back to Africa we will of course book it thru you." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari

"A wonderful trip"
I visited Zambia between 7 Jul 2014 and 20 Jul 2014
"It was Claire who dealt most helpfully and knowledgably with our booking (see ratings below) But our heartfelt thanks go to Ellie who was most sympathetic and helpful when we were stuck at Heathrow and then stranded in Johannesburg.
Our overall trip was wonderful and we saw vast numbers of game and other wildlife. It was all a big adventure and an amazing experience. We did learn that to get the best outcome you may need to SAY what you want. However the phrase "a small portion please" never seemed to have the desired effect!

"Our Zambia trip"
I visited Zambia between 6 Jul 2014 and 15 Jul 2014
"As you will understand from my comments, we were very satisfied with our trip. However there are a couple of minor issues that I would like to mention. First, in our voucher for the River Club, you write that a visit to Livingstone museum is included in the price. However, the lady responsible for our activities at the River Club simply said that It was not, that Expert Africa had made a mistake, and consequently charged the sum to our account. It was not a big sum, but it irritated me at the time.
Then there was an inaccuracy concerning our transfer from Shiwa to Tafika. We were supposed to go via Mfuwe, but we realized that there had to be a misunderstanding and we could go direct by air to Tafika. This was however, easily cleared up.
Finally, as you will know, I have to mention the delayed arrival of our travel documents. As you know they arrived only a week before departure. How that can be avoided, I don't know." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2014 trip"
I visited Zambia between 29 Jun 2014 and 14 Jul 2014
"We had an excellent time. No stress. Recreational value was high.
The sequence of the travel has been very well planned. The information was good.
All lodges were very nice. Each had a different attraction.
The staff and the guides were very friendly and patient.
We saw a lot of animals in different interactions.
The food was great (lots of home made cakes and desserts).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We saw very little insects (also due to the season). Nevertheless I would recommend a white screen to attract them. So you could watch them in the evening." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
