Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We explored going to Africa with numerous outfitters and specifically selected Expert Africa because of Megan and how she explained the variety of experiences! She was attentive, patient and friendly! She explained each experience in detail and catered to exactly what we wanted for this trip. Her detailing was on point- she was accurate in her depictions of each activity. And, they lived up to her high praises. She held our hand through packing and preparing for the trip as well!

The book provided and pamphlet were all extremely useful in preparing and learning about the trip!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"This was the most amazing trip. We saw so much wildlife the highlights being the cheetah the sable and the baby elephant giraffe hippo and lion cubs. We experienced being very close to lions and a little too close to elephants. My only disappointment was not seeing the wild dogs but they had moved out of the area and also not seeing a leopard. Our guides did everything they could to find the leopard and we did spend time tracking but if they don’t want to be found then no amount of searching will get that sighting."

"The trip was excellent from start to finish. Sabina was very patient when planning the trip with me and arranged excellent accommodation for us. Namibia is a very special place and I feel Expert Africa made it even better by organising everything for us, which all went like clockwork. Thank you" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"The good points: great trek to Dian Fossey's grave, good gorilla trek in spite of the size of the group (8 visitors) and my free day at Gisenyi.
Also, nice car and driver.

The less good ones: too much spare time in the afternoons at Nyungwe House and at Sabyinyo Silverback Lodge. I suggest that Expert Africa recommends some optional visits for free afternoons, like a visit to a tea plantation in Gisakura (I only realised this might have been possible after I left) or a visit to the Dian Fossey Fund Campus (which I visited at my request after the golden monkey trek, as the Campus is well visible from the road, otherwise I would have missed it).

Some final details:
Cost: my itinerary included a villa in Nyungwe House and not a room in a 4-room small building." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Rwanda safari

"The trip of a lifetime and Expert Africa is the way to do it especially planning it last minute like we did!

No problems or hiccups and we have memories for life that can’t be explained in any word other than INCREDIBLE!

This was one of the best trips we ever took!

Only sad it had to eventually come to an end!
Time to plan the next one

Everything was amazing and we would use you guys again!

Thanks for an amazing trip!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"None of us on the trip had ever enjoyed a holiday more and we are all seasoned travellers with experience of safaris elsewhere.

The fact there was a maximum of 4 persons per vehicle was a big plus point for us. We would particuarly commend Megan who was always cheerful patient and enthusiastic when finalising our schedule and answering our many queries.

All the arrangements worked seamlessly, a great credit to her organisation. Her considerable knowledge of Zambia gave us great confidence that we were booking the right trip and that confidence was fully borne out in practice.

The only downside is how to choose another safari holiday that will live up to these standards. All our expectations were met and in many cases exceeded.

"The tie between BA and Airlink works extremely well and makes travelling beyond SA straight forward.

We enjoyed the ethos of Remote Africa Safaris very much. Good camps and staff and a lovely remote feel.

The wildlife in north luangwa is skittish and elusive. But we enjoyed the walking very much, and the more prolific and habituated wildlife of the South Park.

We enjoyed the RAS flights with Lian very much. He is very personable as well as a good pilot and a great asset to RAS." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"What an amazing trip, absolutely a once in a lifetime experience. Expert Africa planned and executed each portion of the trip extremely well allowing us to take the time to relax and enjoy our vacation.

"Fantastic trip in a really beautiful country with wonderful people. Jessica did a fantastic job!

We just wish that people around the world would start to recognize this country for its beauty and lovely people and not just for the horrific events of the past." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Rwanda safari
