"It was a very enjoyable trip with plenty of sights
We were lucky to see the wild dogs crossing a river at nkalwi (no dogs lost to the crocodiles) and then elephants playing in the water at Malawi
There were just too many good sightings to name them all!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

I visited Zambia between 12 Aug 2023 and 20 Aug 2023
"My mum and I had the best time in Zambia, and we are truly grateful to Amanda for organising our trip with such care.
Our main focus were leopards and in 8 nights we saw 12 different leopards!!!
She really did a great job advising on which camps to stay at and made the booking process really smooth - it won't be our last time booking with Expert Africa!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 21 Jul 2023 and 30 Jul 2023
"Start to finish, this was a wonderful trip.
Lucy handled our numerous questions patiently and efficiently and put together a package that suited us perfectly, leaving no small detail unattended.
The two camps we visited lived up to expectations and more, with a level of service higher than you would expect from such remote locations.
Once again, EA have served up a great holiday and we would have no questions about using them again in the future." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"We want to go back... now!"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 14 Jul 2023 and 28 Jul 2023
"The entire trip, even experienced in one outfit - thanks Delta Airlines, was more than we could have imagined.
From the time we arrived at our first camp it was magical... words fail to capture the experience.
We have some unique challenges with foods, but every camp had clearly planned and the accommodations were excellent and subtle.
The game drives were exciting with extensive wildlife sightings, but the game walks were viscerally rewarding. We found that on game drives you see Africa, but when hiking through the bush you experience Africa. The guides and rangers were outstanding and we never felt uncomfortable.
We also appreciate the support from Expert Africa throughout our trip, dealing with lost luggage, flight delays and cancellations - we especially appreciate the prompt responses as internet access and WiFi were inconsistently available (which we appreciated except when changes arose unexpectedly).
The ability to arrange an additional safari outside Johannesburg when our flight was cancelled allowed us to see rhino... and appreciate the quality and uniqueness of our experiences in South Luangwa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 3 Jul 2023 and 11 Jul 2023
"We can’t say enough good things about our trip. You could say it was the trip of a lifetime but we loved it so much we’re already working on our return.
While Zambia itself: the people, the area, and the wildlife obviously is incredible, the trip wouldn’t have been the experience it was without Lucy [of Expert Africa]. She helped us decide on where to stay and did the hard work figuring out how to get us from place to place. Everything was seamless.
The only difficulties with the whole trip were the parts we planned ourselves. I was definitely wishing I’d worked with Lucy for the South Africa portion!
As soon as we decide in dates for our return to Zambia, I will be in touch with Lucy.

I would like to be able to give some constructive criticism, but I just think ever portion of this experience was incredible, thank you." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
