"Wonderful Holiday"
I visited Zambia and 4 other countries between 9 Jun 2015 and 18 Jul 2015
"Our safari to eastern and southern Africa was absolutely stunning.
My family has an active, adventurous spirit, which Claire Scott (Expert Africa) picked up on right away as we discussed options nearly nine months prior. Accordingly, Claire recommended camps that met our desires and expectations. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Expert Africa and how efficiently our holiday played out. Complex logistics were well planned and execution was seamless. Well done!" Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Yet again Expert Africa proved EXPERTS"
I visited Zambia between 6 Jun 2015 and 28 Jun 2015
"We must congratulate Ellie and Freddie on putting together and organising our fabulous trip to Zambia. We really enjoyed every day and all logistics went like clockwork.
The itinerary was fantastic with great new places and excellent revisits.
We still don't know how they organise our wonderful animal sightings but we appreciate the fact they do!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Marcia still wants to see a Pangolin" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 21 on a Zambia safari

"Six Camps in Zambia!"
I visited Zambia between 1 Jun 2015 and 21 Jun 2015
"What a fantastic trip!
Expert Africa, and particularly my primary contact there, Megan, were patient and extremely helpful in putting together this itinerary. I spoke with Megan many times over the phone regarding the trip and she was always a pleasure to work with.
I will not hesitate to work with Expert Africa for my upcoming trips to Africa, and would HIGHLY recommend their services!" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 on a Zambia 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

"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

"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
