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.

"My Apr 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 25 Apr 2015 and 2 May 2015
"Everything was perfect. REally. I am amazed that all of our connections worked, on time, no hassle.

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

"A valuable visit"

I visited Zambia between 18 Feb 2015 and 3 Mar 2015
"This was our 15th trip with Expert Africa since we first went with them in September 2006. This one was booked at short notice and, as with a couple of previous ones, had to combine (our) business with vacation.

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"

I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 15 Feb 2015 and 7 Mar 2015
"The Sunvil section of our trip went very smoothly as did our unscheduled previous week at Hout Bay. We had no incidence of attemped theft nor did we at any time feel threatened.The main concern of the S.African tourist industry seems to blame falling visitor numbers on the European perception that Africa = Ebola (5k miles away!!) and that every time you get out of your car you are at risk.

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.

"Fanrastic Experience"

I visited Zambia between 31 Jan 2015 and 11 Feb 2015
"This was our second safari (Expert Africa had arranged a trip to Botswana in the dry season in 2012) and so were anxious beforehand that we might be disappointed - this emphatically was not the case and the trip exceeded our wildest dreams.

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!

"My Nov 2014 trip"

I visited Zambia between 5 Nov 2014 and 15 Nov 2014
"We intend to book a similar trip again (maybe in 2016). Apart from a few minor issues, everything was perfect.

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"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 31 Oct 2014 and 9 Nov 2014
"We normally try to avoid late October because of the heat but I'm really glad we made the trip at this time of year. Game viewing was simply excellent and I was surprised how few others were travelling.

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!"

I visited Zambia between 25 Oct 2014 and 7 Nov 2014
"My first venture into the North park was special and very private. South Luangwa never let's me down and the safari experience seems to get better every time.

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"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 23 Oct 2014 and 8 Nov 2014
"This was our first Safari trip and it's hard top imagine how it could have been any better - we had a fabulous time and enjoyed every minute.

Thanks to Expert Africa for arranging a marvellous trip for us.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

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"

I visited Zambia between 22 Oct 2014 and 5 Nov 2014
"Overall we had a great trip, with lots of wonderful experiences. We saw pretty well everything we wanted. The accommodation and food was excellent. Guides were very good.

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
