Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Many thanks to Sabina for her help and patience. Although I've been to Namibia many times and travelled a lot it hasn't previously occurred to me to use a tour operator (I've just booked things on the spot, or just turned up - easy enough in Namibia in February).

This was a good experience, with some definite advantages.

I don't know whether it was less expensive to do it this way than by doing it myself, but valuable the advice and help from Sabina was certainly something I wouldn't have got otherwise." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"We had a fabulous few days in Kenya. As previously when we traveled with Expert Africa everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The camps were great and the experiences varied. the recommendations were perfect for us.

Thank you for organising such a wonderful itinerary!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"Lack of rains was severely impacting the country and the Mara area where I spent the week was extremely dry - with knock-on effects to vegetation and animal movements which meant I didn’t see as many spotted cats as usual.

I did though add 2 lifer birds, inc Karamoja Apalis, so a big thanks to the guides and the camp for arranging a special birding trip for me!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was well organized with excellent camps, guides and food. It was a trip of a lifetime which far exceeded my wildest dreams of what a safari would be. I had the best experience that I could have." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"One of our top holidays, brilliant planning by the Expert Africa team who managed to achieve two accommodation upgrades!

All our requirements were met and even after two cancellations over the COVID years we maintained all our original bookings dates ( 3yrs on) times and schedules.

Perfect planning seeing the migration in the southern Serengeti then fly on to the northern Serengeti to wildlife watch up there.

All our accommodation in mobile camps were high quality venues and of course Mkombe’s house was just an amazing experience.

Our final chill and relax at the Manta resort was perfect. What a place?!

I would like to thank the Expert Africa team for all their hard work planning and amending this trip through several difficult years. We were always given friendly and extremely efficient service and Jessica Plumb was totally brilliant. She was easy to contact and always available to answer questions or make adjustments to our plans. We would like to thank her so very much."

"My first time in Africa for 3 years and a return to Nyerere (Selous) after nearly 20 years.

The ruins at Kilwa have been on my bucket list for a while and I always thought it would be a good time to visit them whenever I was in that part of the world. They are well worth the effort (6 hours by road from Dar) in reaching Kilwa and provide an insight into an older Africa and a nice alternative to just a safari and beach holiday.

I like Africa in the green season and they had always fancied visiting Nyerere when it was green. Sightings are not as difficult as you would expect and I had a few memorable encounters. But if you don’t see the big cats or the dogs there is so much other big game to keep you busy. Elephants, Giraffes, Buffalo, plenty of hippo and crocs by the water and I have never seen so many Elland. Plus the birds I have never seen so many beautiful birds."

"This trip was meant to be once in a lifetime, however it moved our children and us so much, we are all counting down the days until we can go back.

I did spend a lot of time doing the research and chose the accommodation and plan myself, but ExpertAfrica really pulled it together with the best competitive quote and made sure things were seamless whilst we were out there." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Tom was responsive to our wishes, needs and suggestions about our trip and was able to arranged a safari that gave us wonderful experiences.

Looking back to his descriptions of what to expect at both camps, was spot on." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
