Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We have always wanted to visit the Okavango Delta and were not disappointed. The wildlife sightings were exceptional, even though we travelled during the green season which is supposed to reduce the amount of sightings.

This was certainly not the case as we were hoping to see Cheetah and Wild Dogs and achieved this dream on the first two days, seeing a pack of 27 Wild Dogs and 4 Cheetah brothers.

We would thoroughly recommend travelling to Botswana in March, the vegetation is beautifully green and lush, there are many birds and insects to watch and the wildlife experiences we had were incredible and way beyond our expectations.

"We always recommend Expert Africa to friends and acquaintances because from experience we know that we will receive the best advice and the best outcomes. All travel has the potential for hiccups and this is when the rubber hits the road - we know we can count on EA..

We have gone with the knowledge that we will see amazing things, will be well-prepared in what to expect, and happily surprised by the level of care and hospitality we receive.

I don't know how it all seems to come about so effortlessly but am grateful that a vacation with Expert Africa is also an adventure of the best kind." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Botswana safari

"We had an amazing holiday and every element went exactly to plan, this was extremely impressive given we had so many components to the trip.

Moreover, we were personally guided at every customer touch point.

We didn't carry our luggage once on a trip that had ten flights and 4 locations.

We had amazing weather, great game viewing and superb service throughout.

There was so many special moments on our trip from sunset by Kilimanjaro, to the hot air balloon over the Mara and having a personal chef in the bush for breakfast.

Parita and Expert Africa were fanatic throughout. We got amazing lodges considering our last minute booking and at great value.

Parita assisted with all aspects from plugs to vaccines and everything in-between. She really helped to make this trip a truly magical experience!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"We had an amazing trip and were very greatful to Lyndsey for helping us plan a very last minute honeymoon" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"This was another excellent, but tiring trip to the Mara.

Once again EA excelled themselves in ensuing that the trip went without any hitches. Parita was always on hand prior to our departure to answer any queries that we might have had. We've been using EA for all our trips since early 2000's and have never had any cause for concern.

Africa is an itch that won't go away!!

We can't think of anything that we feel needs to change.
No doubt there's always room for improvement but nothing springs to mind.

Keep doing what you are doing, as it works well." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"It was perfect! Parita organised everything at short notice, responded to any queries efficiently.

We will definitely use Expert Africa again if we are lucky enough to return to Africa." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was exceptional...we had heard that Botswana had a great reputation for sightings, and although we travelled in the wet season, and our expectations were dampened, it only rained once and that was at night.. most days were sunny and/or partly cloudy.

We were overwhelmed by the variety and number of sightings, the people in the camps, the facilities.

We are not enthusiastic birders, but the number and variety of birds actually excited us!

As a keen photographer, this trip exceeded expectations!

Literally there was nothing that put a damper on the experience!
