Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"From our initial contact with Expert Africa to the conclusion of our trip, the service we received, primarily from Sabina, was outstanding and excellent in every respect. We had an initial problem with our Hire Car and Sabina took it upon herself without prompting to resolve the matter....in our opinion going above and beyond the call of duty to resolve matters to our complete satisfaction.

Always positive, adopting an ‘can do’ & ‘can help’ attitude, nothing was too much trouble for Sabina and we’d be very happy to recommend Expert Africa and Sabina for anyone considering a trip to Namibia. Our trip was certainly an ‘adventure’ but we were reassured that with the backing and support of Sabina and her office, we were in good and safe hands.

It has been a pleasure to use Expert Africa and given another future trip we will certainly use them again." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"The majestic landscapes. The rich culture. The contagious joy from locals. Africa is magical! It gets down in your soul and you fall in love. Tanzania was perfect and having the opportunity to do both a safari in the Serengeti and a beach holiday in Zanzibar was a spectacular way to see this glorious country. We felt safe and welcomed everywhere we went. We can’t wait to return for another African adventure.

Expert Africa is a great company to work with and our agent Maruska did a fantastic job arranging our trip! The safari camp and hotels she chose for us were a perfect match for our taste and personalities. Everything was arranged including all shuttles. We had no worries (acuna matata). Maruska even had an anniversary surprise set up at all hotels for us. We will definitely be using Expert Africa on our next trip. Thanks Maruska!!! We absolutely loved everything!!!!"

"We loved Namibia.

Tom from Expert Africa did a great job at tailor making our 4x4 self drive.

Overall, the distances between camps are huge, and the standard of accommodation was really good. We would do less and stay longer perhaps driving less and flying more. But Namibia is spectacular and driving gave us a real sense for how varied the landscape is.

We had a wonderful trip made all the more seamless by Tom's recommendations and organisation." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"We were very impressed by the country it’s cleaness the smiles of the people, seeing them walking on the road was an experience the way they are so beautifully dressed with all those colors.

One thing was a bit annoying was the tipping, so munch for the ranger so much for the trackers so much for the porters, we would have liked to pay more and to have everything included.

Concerning the porter it would have been compulsory because they are on site and not every body take them, so they go back home without payment, it is not good" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Rwanda safari

"I try not to anticipate nor expect too much so I won't be disappointed - this trip far exceeded anything I could have imagined, I enjoyed it all so much and it all ran smoothly except the weather the first day but then I would not have experienced Latitude 15.

Thank you for organising such a wonderful itinerary, Freddie, did a great job." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"An excellent safari trip to 3 camps which were in quite varied terrain.

Saw wide variety of game and birds, 30 mammals plus other species, over 90 bird species.

All the camps were comfortable and the people staffing them were delightful

Quite happy with my experience so far" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"We loved our honeymoon and couldn't have imagined a better trip!

We made sure we spent as much time as we could out-and-about to see as much wildlife as possible, but we still feel we were very lucky with the number of species we saw at what is considered low season!

We have so many amazing memories which we will cherish forever and can't wait to plan another trip!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"This is likely our last safari and was a great way to end what has been a passion of ours for 30 years.

We enjoyed new places ( Namibia and Tanzania) , saw incredible sights ( especially the Crater and the migration) , ate wonderful food and met many wonderful people" Read full review: 51 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Overall I would not recommend Wilderness Camp nor would I visit again" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"Absolutely loved the whole trip. It was quite surreal. To be among so many animals as if it were the most natural thing in the world is quite mind-blowing.

Now when I watch programmes on African animals I understand them so much more.

Tanzania is a beautiful place with beautiful people. I highly recommend people to go there and experience it for themselves.

I would love to go back." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
