"My Oct 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 27 Oct 2023 and 9 Nov 2023
"Excellent combination of camps for our first trip to Zambia . The South Luangwa NP first - The two Shenton Safaris camps an excellent combination.
Then to Lower Zambezi NP . Again the combination of main camp and bush camp run by same family worked very well .
The heat was pretty challenging at times. Temperatures in high 30’s - early 40’s most of the trip. We were well advised about this of course but it’s def worth mentioning. The only way to cool down a little is to wrap a wet a kikoy around you at night 👍🏻😊" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Our Oct 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2023 and 8 Nov 2023
"Absolutely loved each park.
Would not recommend Zambia to first time safari goers as game viewing can be a little slow. However that gave our guides the opportunity to tell us about other things giving a more rounded experience" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 20 on a Zambia safari

"My Oct 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 3 Oct 2023 and 17 Oct 2023
"The trip met our expectations (which were high). Having visited Zambia before this trip was equally enjoyable to previous trips. The small camps we visited, our fellow travellers and the camp hosts made it a memorable trip."

"My Aug 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia and 3 other countries between 27 Aug 2023 and 22 Sep 2023
"Every camp that we visited held Expert Africa in high regard which made us proud to be clients.
All went well but it would have been helpful to have the "hard copies" of Precision Air as there were glitches on their end. They had no record of us going on after Lusaka (right city??). We made it. And... All's well that ends well but we were put-on the wrong plane from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro and they sent us to Arusha (along with another couple).
Precision Air then put us on another flight to Kilimanjaro but we missed most of our time at the lodge in Kilimanjaro before going on to Nairobi. We both decided that we would have skipped the Nairobi jaunt and gone from another city. Just FYI" Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"My August 2023 trip to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 17 Aug 2023 and 1 Sep 2023
"As always, the team at Expert Africa was fantastic: Professional, knowledgeable and extremely pleasant.
Megan was simply remarkable with her advice in assisting me to put this trip together, taking into account what I loved from previous trips booked with Expert Africa.
I must also commend Amanda was also of invaluable help and so supportive when my outgoing flight did not go as planned!
I keep returning to Zambia, as it never disappoints and particularly Lower Zambezi: a place of exquisite beauty, with incredible wildlife (the large pack of wild dogs made each game drives epic), a great choice of activities and excellent guiding."
