"My Apr 2019 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 8 Apr 2019 and 19 Apr 2019
"Planning a trip like this can be overwhelming when visiting for the first time. A random phone call to Expert Africa resulted in the trip of a lifetime.

I was able to discuss desires and options with knowledgeable people who really helped sort out all the choices. Our agent Maruska really cared about our trip. The choices she suggested were based on the information she received after asking " tell me a little about what you guys like to do". The itinerary she created was based on first hand knowledge by someone who had been to the area.

All of our transfers and arrangements were flawless and everyone involved (drivers, boatmen, hotel staff) were very friendly and accommodating. Our overall expedience was unforgettable and magical.

We would do it again in a heartbeat. Thank you all." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"Unbeatable Itinerary Even With the Road Trips"

I visited Zimbabwe and 2 other countries between 23 Oct 2018 and 30 Nov 2018
"This was my third African safari adventure and – aside from the fact that I still have not crossed the Aardvark, Pangolin or Pel's Fishing Owl off my "must see" list – the trip exceeded my expectations in many ways. I liked the wide range and variety of camps and the mixture of air and road transfers, even if two of the latter were, to put it mildly, arduous. I don't regret having experienced the long drive from Amalinda to Somalisa or the one from Mkulumadzi to Pumulani, but I wouldn't want to do either of them again.

I'm happy I returned to Zimbabwe and Zambia – two outstanding wildlife countries with exceptionally skilled guides – and I very much enjoyed my introduction to Malawi. The Majete Wildlife Reserve is still in its infancy but holds great promise, and I found Lake Malawi breathtaking to look at and fascinating to explore.

Working with the Expert Africa team – and particularly with Freddie Sutton – to plan my month-long itinerary was great fun and very rewarding. Freddie is experienced, knowledgeable, patient and, above all, flexible. He responded quickly to all of my requests for changes and updates, and he always found an attractive alternative where one was needed. Even when a slight glitch arose during my time away, he immediately resolved it and all went well." Read full review: 38 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Best safari holiday ever"

I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2018 and 31 Oct 2018

All lodges, safari drives, transfers excellent. This was by far the best safari trip ever for scenery and wildlife.

"A Treasured and Memorable Safari"

I visited Zambia between 19 Sep 2018 and 5 Oct 2018
"We were pleasantly surprised throughout our trip and would definitely recommend this to friends and family. I would enjoy seeing the same area a little earlier in the year, when it was a bit more green as it had been very dry for many months. Accomodations were excellent and locations of the camps were wonderful.

The abundant wildlife was a pleasure to watch and photograph. The jeeps were outfitted well for photography and guides were exceptional. Loved it all!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Fabulous trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 18 Sep 2018 and 6 Oct 2018
"Botswana was our first return to Africa after many years and we had high expectations. We have come back with great memories having seen some fantastic wildlife, met some lovely and interesting people and had a few adventures.

We feel we have had a good mix of camps and experienced the delta and other areas.

There is just the niggle that we were at Chitabe on the wrong days!

No, we were pleased with the service. Lucy asked lots of questions and listened to the answers!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"safari in Botswana"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 11 Sep 2018 and 27 Sep 2018
"Fantastic holiday!
I think that if we had to share our jeep with other people on our safari we would not have had such a personable/educated holiday. That is what made out holiday!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Best.Trip.Ever."

I visited Zambia between 26 Aug 2018 and 14 Sep 2018
"Wow! Spectacular! We had a fantastic 3-week trip with Expert Africa to Botswana and Zambia. When we first had the idea of trying to go to Africa, not knowing where, when, or with which outfitter, Megan Green gave the best, most thorough response to our inquiries. The website was also wonderfully designed with succinct, user-friendly information. The timely correspondence of the staff and the website were huge plusses during our planning phase.

Everything about our itinerary was well designed, and we were never rushed. For example, the night in Jo-burg to rest and explore a bit before flying the next day to Maun to begin our safari was well enjoyed. The night in Livingstone between Botswana and Zambia was also well received and taken advantage of to rest. The camps were also laid out in a manner where it felt like every camp we went to was a little bit more luxurious than the prior one, so it kept feeling like we were spoiled over and over - all of the camps exceeded our expectations as well.

We had zero travel issues, everything ran seamlessly! One issue popped up where our itinerary said alcohol was included at one camp, and the camp staff upon check-in insisted that alcohol is never included there. We emailed Expert Africa and they sorted it out within two hours.

Our safety was never a concern, and the trip kept getting better and better! We highly recommend Expert Africa, and both Botswana and Zambia." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Aug. 2018 trip"

I visited Zambia between 20 Aug 2018 and 25 Aug 2018
"So glad we engaged Expert Africa.

The expertise of Freddie and others proved to be the determining factor, we believe, in the "trip of a lifetime" for my 24-year-old daughter and me.

Thanks and keep up the great work." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia and Botswana August 2018"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 20 Aug 2018 and 1 Sep 2018
"Our trip was mind blowing.

Richard Ball was instrumental in building the picture in our minds of what the trip could be like and he was definitely spot on about Gomoti Plains Camp! Megan Green delivered a perfect execution throughout including at the very last minute to arrange an additional activity as we were flying out to Africa.

Advice on photography by Chris McIntyre was helpful and really beyond the call of duty.

We thank everyone on the team and we look forward to working with them for our next trip!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The detailed knowledge that the staff have of the different camps including sightings and camp characteristics distinguishes Expert Africa from the many other operators we approached and really helped us in deciding what to do/where to stay. Their advice on travelling with children was also spot on and very helpful.

Perhaps more focus could be provided as the trip is planned on the safari guides, as they really make the difference to one's trip (even if we appreciate travellers cannot choose who they will be guided by).

Looking forward to the team living up to our newly heightened expectations for our next trip!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
