"Okavango trip"
"Fantastic Honeymoon"
Neither of us had been on Safari before and it was such a fantastic experience. We felt well looked after at all of the camps and loved Zambia. The mix of camps and activities was perfect allowing us the right mix of adventure and relaxing." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
"Excellent honeymoon from Expert Africa"
From the first monent we spoke to Expert Africa we were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble and our requests were listened to - plus the advice we were given was excellent. It was welcoming to know that when we went to Linyanti camp someone from Expert Africa had also visited and had written very positive comments in the guest book!
Our only negative was that Bazzaruto Lodge had not been our first choice and that it was in fact the 3rd - but this was simply due to the cyclone earlier in the year and the booking availability. Other hotels were supposed to be closed however when in MZB we realised that some were open and wished we had re-considerd to make sure we were at the best option prior to coming - reason being we would have loved spa facilties for a 5 day relax but this was not meant to be."

"Back in Bath"
Definitely a sarong and flip flops next time.
Would like to go to Chongwe again (visited the River House on the way to the landing strip... WOW!) and would do more walks, looking at small things rather than the big beasts.
We liked the house party atmosphere and meeting different people all the time. That was an important part of the holiday .
We would single out Simon (Nsefu) and Catherine and Rocky (Tena Tena) for dealing so smoothly with the
Vikings - they'll know (as will Robin!) who and what we mean!!!!!!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Very enjoyable trip"
"Great time in Zambia with excellent wildlife "
"First time in Africa"
Next time I would not do a safari every day, now I know what is involved, but perhap see a little more of the country.
I initially thought the trip was expensive but looking back and on what we got for our money it was very good value." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
