Zambia: reviews from our travellers
Unedited reviews written by our most recent Zambia travellers
"My Apr 2015 trip"
The camps were lovely, The people were stellar, WE spent just enough time in each place.
With a lot of travel in few days, it all went smoothly. Best trip ever." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari
"My Mar 2015 trip"
"A valuable visit"
As always, EA provided us with the very highest standard of service from start to finish, including (as has often been the case) a recommended adjustment to our originally proposed itinerary, ie Nsefu, which was definitely an improvement. Furthermore, when our original accommodation in Lusaka cancelled us at very short notice, EA immediately came up and sorted a more than suitable alternative (ie Latitude 15).
The downside of having done 15 trips with EA is that we have run out of superlatives. So, suffice it to say, we have nothing but praise for Chris and his entire team and will continue to recommend EA strongly to anyone considering a vacation on their 'patch'. One simply cannot do better than put oneself in the hands of EA." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"very much enjoyed"
We found the people friendly and helpful. The exchange rate is also ,very attractive.
We feel that this was one of our best holidays ever and we would love to go back.
Thanks Claire for organising it so well.

In your brochure or when the clients itinerary is made up you may like to consider suggesting things to do /see at the suggested stopovers or on the way. e.g. Bartholomew Dias at Mossel bay, Drodsty Museum at Swallenburg etc." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip
"Fanrastic Experience"
Practicalities The services of Tours Africa in facilitating our passage though Lusaka Airport were very welcome and suggest that they should always be there on hand to help and advise
SAA flights were much better than BA and we would prefer to use them! Especially as you can prebook the seats without extra cost months in advance. The Proflight flights although cramped were perfectly adequate and would not put us off using them again
Latitude 15 hotel was very comfortable and of high standard of cleanliness, cheerful atmosphere and incredible cheap food. To be recommended. Very swift check in, good portering service and welcome sparkling wine drink!

Not really I'm afraid, so this feedback will not be that helpful as everything went very smoothly!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
"My Nov 2014 trip"
The only recommendation I would suggest is a visit to a local village - we would have been willing to sacrifice one of our game drives for that." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
"An excellent trip"
It was very hot but the camps had fans and the heat was manageable." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
"North and South Luangwa- WOW!"
Both NCS and RemoteAfrica provide the highest level of comfort and guiding and everyone should be proud of what they have achieved in provided this grand level of friendly service. Special thanks also to Mindy, very professional in every aspect in the daily running at NCS.
South Luangwa still my favourite game reserve/national park in Africa and one of my favourite places to visit in the world.
Thanks again to Ellie and all at ExpertAfrica.

"An experience of a lifetime"
Thanks to Expert Africa for arranging a marvellous trip for us.

An extremely minor point, which is that, contrary to the info in our pre-holiday briefing pack, Zambian Immigration does now accept payment for the Visa in GBP (£35) as well as USD. And they seem quite happy to accept $50 bills, so there is no need to go running round trying to get USD in small denominations for this.
One other thing, if visiting Victoria Falls at this time of year(late October) we would recommend visiting the Zimbabwe side for a better experience, as there was very little water going over the Zambian part, which reduces the spectacle a little."

"Great trip"
Although we knew it was going to be hot, it was still a shock at mid 40's rather than mid 30's. Really we have no complaints and would recommend it to others without reservation" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
