"A Treasured and Memorable Safari"
I visited Zambia between 19 Sep 2018 and 5 Oct 2018
"We were pleasantly surprised throughout our trip and would definitely recommend this to friends and family. I would enjoy seeing the same area a little earlier in the year, when it was a bit more green as it had been very dry for many months. Accomodations were excellent and locations of the camps were wonderful.
The abundant wildlife was a pleasure to watch and photograph. The jeeps were outfitted well for photography and guides were exceptional. Loved it all!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2018 trip"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 13 Sep 2018 and 9 Oct 2018
"Amanda who organised this for us was wonderful, and created the trip of a lifetime. All of the difficult things I had asked for were arranged to perfection, and were the highlights of our trip.
Have recommended Expert Africa to all travellers we met en route.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
One minor point. Can you add the date (or vesion number) to the text of each version of the paperwork. This is nomal office practice and avoids confusion with multiple updated documents when printed.
We will certainly come to Expert Africa again, but only on condition that I don't have to fill in 200 different reviews online again!" Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Another wonderful trip"
I visited Zambia between 3 Sep 2018 and 20 Sep 2018
"Our 9th time to Zambia and it remains our favorite safari destination.
The camps are all well organised and comfortable and everyone is so friendly.
S Luangwa shows noticeable increase in visitors but game superb and camps becoming more luxurious.
Less walking offered up front and we needed to make it clear that we were repeat visitors who wanted to walk..
Kafue was an experiment in contrast and suited us perfectly. Hope to be back.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Thanks once again.
Expert Africa bookings are well regarded at all camps and we have no intention of booking with anyone else having heard horror stories of other agents" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"Excellent September 18 trip to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 3 Sep 2018 and 16 Sep 2018
"The trip was very well-planned to suit our interests and our needs. Freddie was very responsive to us and understood what we were looking for and what we were capable of.
This was our second trip organised by Expert Africa and we remain very satisfied. All the camps and airlines were made well aware of mobility issues and everyone responded appropriately and sympathetically.
All 3 camps were comfortable and had excellent food and guiding. Every effort was made to co-ordinate the holiday to minimise waiting time on journeys and maximise time in camps.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable safari.

"Magical Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 31 Aug 2018 and 9 Sep 2018
"The trip was magical, a real bucket list holiday.
We were very happy with the thoroughness of the preparation and efficiency with which Lucy planned and booked our trip.
She was always available to answer our questions and her enthusiasm for Zambia and these two lodges added to the wonderful anticipation of our trip.
The only negative were the amount of tsetse flies.....the game rangers most willingly created a fire at the back of the vehicle using elephant dung and this was a great help !" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"2nd - 9th Sept 2018"
I visited Zambia between 31 Aug 2018 and 9 Sep 2018
"We were a a group from three continents.
Based in UK all information and luggage tags etc were received but this was not the case for our USA and South African family. Hard copy travel data was not posted to the other's addresses. Although Expert Africa did not know the other's address they should have asked." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia 2018"
I visited Zambia between 30 Aug 2018 and 11 Sep 2018
"This was a fantastic trip, which exceeded expectations, everything ran very smoothly.
It was good that we were met at Lusaka airport and assisted with check-in, which were not expecting.
We would have no hesitation in re booking with Expert Africa and recommending them to others." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
