"My June 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia between 26 Jun 2022 and 19 Jul 2022
"A great trip that was full of amazing sightings, lovely people and wonderful locations.

This trip was originally booked for 2020 but had to be moved due to Covid. It was actually rearranged a number of times with date changes, lodge availability and international flight bookings all having to be taken into account on each occasion.

Expert Africa handled all these efficiently and did their very best to put together an itinerary that worked for us. This was done whilst also handling changes from their other customers.

Many thanks for organising a memorable and enjoyable trip. L&S" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 19 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia between 9 Jun 2022 and 25 Jun 2022
"My 14 day stay in the Luangwa valley was a wonderful safari. I loved the landscape, wildlife was abundant, especially seeing the wild dogs and so many leopards was impressive. The guiding is of a very high level, which I appreciate. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
My trip was postponed twice, and I want to thank ExpertAfrica/Lucy Copson and the camps (Robin Pope Safaris and Shenton Safaris) for their flexibility." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2022 Zambia trip"

I visited Zambia between 4 Jun 2022 and 21 Jun 2022
"My trip to Zambia was stunning.

The itinerary was sympathetically worked out keeping my preferences and budget firmly in mind. Everything went like clockwork and I was able to relax and really enjoy the whole experience, despite the extra demands and requirements covid has brought to travel today.

Expert Africa was reassuring and encouraging and the trip exceeded all my expectations. The knowledge and information available through Expert Africa was invaluable in putting together a trip I shall never forget and right throughout the journey I knew Expert Africa had my back should something go wrong. This let me relax and thoroughly enjoy an unforgettable African holiday.

Zambia's wildlife and facilities at my destinations were amazing. The friendliness and professionalism of the people involved made the experience very enjoyable.

I hope this won't be my last trip with Expert Africa to the beautiful continent." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"My May 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia between 19 May 2022 and 1 Jun 2022
"I thought my first trip would be 'enough' and now I'm thinking, "Maybe a third time".

Zambia is an amazing destination for a safari (I tell everyone who will listen) - the range and volume of animals/birds, the expert knowledge and skills of the guides.

"Week at Nkwali"

I visited Zambia between 8 Apr 2022 and 18 Apr 2022
"My trip only involved one safari camp, and I loved my stay at Nkwali. I don't want to repeat what I have written in my individual review of the camp, but in general I think South Luangwa in green season is much under rated and at low season rates, great value for money. The big cats are more elusive than in dry season but the wild dog sightings were a match for those I've had anywhere else (eg Botswana), both on this trip and my 2018 trip at the same time of year. Of course, there are not so many options available, so a longer stay in one camp makes sense. No one would think twice about staying in one place for a week on another type of holiday, so why not on safari?

The mix of guests is always very interesting too, with more local residents or people visiting residents or adding on safari days to a business trip.

Although I have managed some trips during covid, Nkwali was quite busy during my stay, and this is the first time I've really felt like some sort of normality is returning to the safari world. With testing now dropped for most destinations, there was a sense of relief and optimism from staff and other guests alike.

Pioneer was the only low point of the trip, and I think perhaps it's time Expert Africa looked at some new options for overnights in Lusaka for guests who don't need a luxury boutique hotel." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

" Nov 2021 trip"

I visited Zambia between 7 Nov 2021 and 26 Nov 2021
"Luc and I had a wonderful trip to Kafue NP and South Luangwa NP in November 2021. The itinary created by Claire was excellent, first Kafue then South Luangwa.

Three weeks was an adequate time to appreciate the areas visited and to rest. We met dedicated people and visited beautiful landscapes.

We keep cherished memories of these three weeks.
