Zambia

Zambia is well known for excellent guiding and top-class walking safaris.

...while some bushcamps in the South Luangwa exclusively offer walking safaris.

There's always plenty of time in between activities to relax with a drink...

...and watch the local wildlife!

From the smaller animals...

...to the biggest - there's a huge amount of game to be viewed in the different parks.

...you can find more luxurious lodges here as well...

...and every camp goes the extra mile to provide special touches to your safari.

"Expert Africa lives up to its name - again"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 29 May 2015 and 14 Jun 2015
"Our group of seven ran out of superlatives to describe our days early on in the trip - so we just resorted to repeating them!

Everything ran like clockwork, and I don't think there is a thing that, in retrospect, we would have done differently.

Thank you Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"My May trip to South Luangwa"

I visited Zambia between 25 May 2015 and 7 Jun 2015
"Very well organised by Expert Africa and I would recommend Tafika and Mwamba. Rare to see other vehicles in this part of the valley." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Memorable and exactly what we wanted"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 22 May 2015 and 31 May 2015
"Thank you Expert Africa. Logistically it was perfect with zero hiccups and we realise that there could've been many. You certainly get what you pay for and it was a trip of a lifetime.

The safaris, food, ambience and accommodation - all absolutely spot on and thank you so much for the help in organising everything for us. We will definitely be back in Africa over the next year or so, and when we plan it we'll be in contact. Thank you Chloe for being someone who knew the countries we were visiting inside out - so often you do the research yourself, then speak to someone at a company who then knows less than you do. This certainly wasn't the case here!

We have some fantastic wildlife (especially bird photos) from the holiday (taken with professional Canon lenses) so if you want any for the website/future Bradt travel guides please let us know.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, not at all. However, as Richard is a birdwatcher (and bordering on OCD keen) he did spot a mistake in the Bradt travel guide that you could pass on! The Spoonbill photograph is actually an African Spoonbill (Platalea alba) and not Spoonbill (Platalea leucorodia) as per the book!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana 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

"Our May 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 1 May 2015 and 19 May 2015
"The trip exceeded all our expectations, being both memorable and enjoyable.

What was particularly impressive was the seamless way in which the different components of the trip were linked together, whether by light aircraft or ground transfers between and across borders. This clearly reflects the high quality and efficiency of all involved in the administration of our trip.

Particular credit must be given to Tracy, whose personal interest and sound advice added considerably to our holiday experience." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 1 May 2015 and 12 May 2015
"This was the best safari we have done, the choice of camps and their location we ideal. I took your advice and was 100% satisfied.

I am well aware that I do not suffer fools gladly and it is a chance one has to take on this type of holiday; the camp staff were very understanding and accommodated us to the best of their abilities.

I will ask you to suggest another holiday for us next year with a few stipulations: luxury, great guides, near a river (we like the option of boat trips for birdwatching) and NO COMMUNAL DINING. Many thanks for a memorable trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
