"Zambia trip"

I visited Zambia between 25 Jul 2015 and 8 Aug 2015
"Our trip to Zambia was fantastic & delivered everything & more than we were expecting.

The key to this success, was the great advice & discussion I had with Megan during the booking process. I had a good idea what I was looking for & what I didn't want, she was very good at discussing the pros & cons of each camp & location. I never felt pressured to just make a booking.

In the end the holiday & the camps delivered exactly what were looking for. Many Thanks for a wonderful experience

"Excellent Zambia Trip"

I visited Zambia between 8 Jul 2015 and 19 Jul 2015
"Claire at Expert Africa once again helped us make the arrangements for our trip and as usual everything was 'spot on'. We continue to be very impressed by the level of service that Expert Africa consistently provides to travellers.

We were particularly impressed with the service provided by Tours Africa who met us at Lusaka Airport and provided road transfers to and from our first hotel to the airport. They were always very punctual and were extremely helpful to us, going above and beyond the usual to re-connect us with our lost luggage and guiding us through immigration and passport control.

Tafika remains our favourite camp in South Luangwa. This area of South Luangwa is stunningly beautiful and very special. The Remote Africa Safari's team are very good at sharing this special place, everything is well organised and managed and they always leave you just desperate to return! We were particularly touched by the efforts that the whole team went to, to provide us with a special sundowner (champagne and the works!) to mark a special birthday and recent retirement.

We can't think of anything that would improve things, the service is about as good as it gets." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Sambia and Malawi July 2015"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 4 Jul 2015 and 21 Jul 2015
"We very much appreciated being helped by travel agents who have intimate knowledge of the regions they are supporting. Thank you to Ellie for her always good advice on picking locations for the family and having a good sense on when, where and for how long to travel.

It is amazing how all the pieces nicely worked together without us having to inquire." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Another great trip with Expert Africa!"

I visited Zambia between 30 Jun 2015 and 13 Jul 2015
"Wonderful trip again. Thanks to Chris was suggesting Zambia and to Megan for all her hard work planning the trip. The combination of camps was ideal for us plus the locations and we really felt that you understood exactly what we were looking for.

It was interesting hearing so many glowing comments about Expert Africa from camp staff and another travel agent we met in Zambia. This was all unprompted and really telling of what a great job you do.

Time to start saving for the next one.....

"My New Favorite Safari Destination"

I visited Zambia between 15 Jun 2015 and 26 Jun 2015
"I have found a new favorite destination in Zambia.

From the wildlife, to the camps, to the very friendly people, South Luangwa National Park was outstanding.

My experience with Expert Africa was very positive. I especially appreciated Claire taking the time to really listen to what I wanted and she made her suggestions based on my wishes rather than what she may have preferred." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2015 trip"

I visited Zambia between 12 Jun 2015 and 27 Jun 2015
"We had a wonderful holiday and as usual Zamibia didn't disappoint when it came to game and hospitality. We have learnt that guiding is the key to a successful trip and in 3 of the 4 camps we stayed the guiding was excellent. We got very close to some big game and all the guides clearly demostrated their knowledge of the animals and how to track them. We prefer it when the guides don't radio each other the location of animals as it sometimes feels that you are at a spectator sport rather than on a remote game drive.

Some of the camps operate a very formal way of serving lunch which is a good for meeting the other guests and sharing experiences but does mean that there is often limited time to relax on your own in the afternoon.

We loved the walking safari and while you don't tend to see as much big game the experience of standing 10 metres away from male lion or having a giraffe walking 15 metres from you is truly amazing!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Great trip to Africa"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 16 May 2015 and 7 Jun 2015
"We had a great trip with a lot of highs and few lows.

I would have driven from Onguma straight to Ndhovu now that I know how long it is and I was happy with the car but it did struggle in a few places so I might up to a Corolla next time.

We did buy a better map than the one provided and the one place where we ran into trouble a south African couple with a Tracks 4 Africa map really helped us out, but that was our fault for being where we were. I have zero other complaints though and think Sabina did a good job helping us out." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Thank you for a wonderful holiday"

I visited Zambia between 14 May 2015 and 26 May 2015
"This is the best holiday that we have ever had in 40+ years of travelling.

Expert Africa gave a good range of camp options in Zambia. We watched their videos on Youtube. There was footage about each camp in South Luangwa and this was very helpful to us in making our selection. Robin Pope's website was also extremely useful because it showed how we could make the trip more economical by benefitting from the green season rate and the long stay discount.

Freddie was very helpful over the phone and prompt with his emails. Although there were a couple of mistakes these were quickly rectified.

The local agents at Lusaka Airport (Tour Africa) were very helpful and attentive. We were impressed by the service they provided.

Robin Pope Safaris were outstanding in every way.

We hope to book another holiday with Expert Africa and Robin Pope Safaris in 2016." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
