"My Sep 2017 trip"
Our fears of the valley being overrun by vehicles were unfounded as the southern end of the Park was just beautiful and only saw Kainga and Mwamba vehicles. Plenty of game but then it was very hot and animals had to come to water. Wonderful photographic opportunities!
We would recommend this trip but perhaps go to the lodge on the Lower Zambezi at the end of the holiday and have a relaxing afternoon on the river and then collected for evening game drive!
All in all a memorable holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"My Sep 2017 trip"
It is a shame it is classified as a malaria area because everywhere we went managers told us they did not have mosquitoes. The other wildlife is fantastic and plentiful at this time of year (late September - October).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I think your team do a great job at the moment and I certainly recommend Expert Africa wholeheartedly whenever friends are thinking about visiting the area.

We want to repeat the experience in Sept 2019 (God willing") + add on quite a few things---so probably a 19 or 20 day trip

Not mentioned above, but the "meet and greet" at Lusaka on arrival is always welcome and reassuring" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
"My trip to Zambia"
The only things I would do differently next time would be to specify which guide (now that I know them) I wanted at Chongwe (Troy) and Shenton camps (Patrick), and I would not go to Tafika again." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"ZAMBIA 2017 - what a great birthday present"
I wanted to go to small, “rustic” and family run camps. These were good criteria and worked well for us. All were in excellent locations, but with hindsight it was a mistake to go back to the one we had been to before, which now has new owners.
We particularly loved Old Mondoro, mainly because it had:
- More activities, the river outings and it was the only camp, which could accommodate our wish for a two hour walk
- The view from our room over the siesta period was absolutely amazing with all the comings and goings of different animals and birds.
Mwamba was a very close second
The leopard sightings at Kaingo were spectacular, with guide, Yoram and excellent at Mwamba and Old Mondoro.
We also liked your concise travel documents and wallet." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari
