"The South Luangwa in the Emerald Season"

I visited Zambia between 1 Mar 2018 and 11 Mar 2018
"As always, our trip (our sixth to the South Luangwa) exceeded expectations.

In the Emerald Season, all is green and lush, whilst the game and the birdlife is as splendid as ever, with wonderful lighting for photography. Freddie Sutton organised our trip with his customary highly efficient and friendly way.

This was our tenth trip with Expert Africa - thank you all." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"My Feb 2018 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 27 Feb 2018 and 17 Mar 2018
"We had the best time in spite of some hiccups. We went previously in the dry season so it was quite interesting going in the "green" season. We are so glad we did! It was fantastic seeing so many new born animal babies and so many of the birds were in mating plumage which can be so different from regular plumage. We really like the green season best of all!

As for the camps, Wilderness Camps are so well run and maintained. So far we have not seen any camps who can hold a candle to their standard. If we go back a 3rd time to Botswana or any of the other countries that have Wilderness camps...........we will go with Expert Africa and Wilderness Safari Camps.

It was wonderful working with Maruska Adye in New Zealand. We used her 5 years ago and were so delighted to work with her again. We truly appreciate Expert Africa's approach of good common sense when planning a trip and listening to what a customer thinks (ha!) they want versus what is realistic. All documents were spot on and we knew that all details were addressed. It was wonderful to be met by various individuals at the airports as one is never sure where to go in a new airport.

Thank you for a great trip!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Perhaps letting folks know what kind of power plug can be found in the camps. What is stated on a general query about plugs on the internet does not translate to what the camps have (ie. Bristish plug in Nkwali!)" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Wonderful safari in South Luangwa Park"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 15 Oct 2017 and 28 Oct 2017
"This was our second safari in South Luangwa Park, after an interval of 4 years. We knew the area to visit, relatively distant from the entrance to the Park, as the game is excellent but the game vehicles few so viewing is really good. With help from Expert Africa's Claire we chose 3 camps and they were all excellent. She encouraged us to include a small bush camp and we were pleased that she did as it was probably the best experience and our apprehension about the open air bathroom was misplaced as it was private and enclosed.

Claire was brilliant because she was able to change our three return flights after we had made our booking, to accommodate a private trip to/from Chipata that we had not been able to firm up initially. All our arrangements went smoothly other than delays caused by the airline - as she had provided the contact details of Expert Africa's ground agents in Nairobi we were able to phone and ensure they waited at the airport while our luggage was located."

"KAFUE NP NOT QUITE WHAT WE EXPECTED"

I visited Zambia between 7 Sep 2017 and 23 Sep 2017
"All of our accommodation we stayed in was excellent and we had an extremely enjoyable trip. Kafue NP however was disappointing to us. Firstly the majority of animals are extremely skittish and just run off as soon as they see a vehicle. There is a very distinct lack of a variety of animals that we have seen on other safaris and certainly not the place to go if you want to see lots of 'big game'. This said this though, in Busanga we were very taken with the large herds of Sable and Roan antelope who were very happy to just graze whilst you took photos. In all of our trips we have never seen that quantity of Sable and Roan.

Anyone contemplating visiting Kafue I certainly would advise light aircraft from Lusaka as the journey is almost 5 hours by vehicle, 3hrs on tarmac road on 2hrs on bumpy safari park road!

Tsetse Fly were also a big problem within the park but less so in the area surrounding Musekese Camp." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
