"Fantastic Trip to a Fantastic Place"

I visited Zambia between 21 Dec 2018 and 1 Jan 2019
"We have traveled extensively throughout Africa on own and with local guides. Some of our trips were arranged without help and were fine, but Expert Africa definitely added value to this trip by first asking about our likes and preferences and then matching us with great safari camps.

Since I had never been to Zambia, the local knowledge that Expert Africa supplied made the difference between a good trip and a great trip. The pre-trip documentation was excellent and the overall trip went like clockwork.

I plan to use Expert Africa for future trips and we already look forward to our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Best safari holiday ever"

I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2018 and 31 Oct 2018
"Very impressed by the beauty of Zambia and the amount of wildlife especialy leopards.

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

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

None, the service from Claire to the people who looked after us on the holiday could not have been better." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Well organised and memorable holiday "

I visited Zambia between 22 Sep 2018 and 6 Oct 2018
"This was a very enjoyable holiday involving an overnight stay in Lusaka, three camps, three internal flights and a boat transfer between two camps. All the arrangements worked out well with no problems. It was helpful to be met at Lusaka airport on two arrivals and departures, and guided through procedures there (including on best passport/visa queue). The advice in the Expert Africa Zambia booklet about checking the correct number of days on the Visa was pertinent as the officer misheard and initially gave us too short a period - but it was quickly corrected when we pointed out the error.

The camps were all excellent and well run by friendly staff. Overall, we had a good variety of types of game watching trips (drives, boat, canoe, walking and hides) with knowledgeable guides who put a lot of effort in to searching for animals while spending plenty of time to observe animal behaviour. Although the variety of mammals was not as great as on previous safaris in other countries we had a number of very memorable wildlife experiences.

Many thanks to Megan for her advice and for organizing the holiday which was our third with Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"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
