Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Overall, we had the most incredible experience during the Emerald Season in Zambia. This area, which surely feels remote and wild in the dry season, felt like an even more special adventure because of how inaccessible the area comes due to flooding.

Each drive and boat ride was an adventure, and we loved the atmosphere and unpredictability of the rainy days. Watching the mighty Luangwa river rise, and getting rained out of one camp proved to be an adventure, and our broken down boat will be a night to remember forever! We had marvellous sightings of lions and leopards and enjoyed the lush, green background provided.

While the number of sightings may not be as great as visitors expect during the dry season, the stunning background should make up for this to all photographers. Another phenomenal trip arranged by Expert Africa!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Fabulous trip and the input from Sabina really helped us get the most from our time in Namibia." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"We had a fantastic trip. Everything went smoothly. The driving was easy. The weather fantastic (although the Namibians would have appreciated rain - we had none!). All the lodges were great. Thank you Expert Africa for excellent advice and planning of our holiday." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"All aspects of our trip to Tanzania ran smoothly as per the arrangements made by Expert Africa. My wife has mobility and dietary requirements which were managed satisfactorily.

The roads in Dar are not adequate to manage the volume of traffic so journeys take much longer than might be indicated by the distance. The airport is poor but a new one has been built and will hopefully be opening soon.

We have done a lot of safaris and prefer places that are more remote and uncrowded but with good facilities. Selous was a good choice in this regard. We did get to see wildlife but obviously not the volumes of the Serengeti etc." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

"More honest guidance on what’s at each camp/ site. Feel some bias based on availability at camps.

Facilities were overall excellent, guide exceptional. Besides Ndutu site we didn’t have any vegetarian food problems" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a wonderful trip. It was our first safari in east Africa and something we will do again. In the past we have self driven and we were wary of being with a guide but Esto was excellent and knowledgeable. In particular he did not join large groups of vehicles around the big ticket wildlife causing them stress but drove on and found us something else that we could watch quietly."

"Subject to the specific observations in each of the Lodge reviews and being let down by Expert Africa in respect of our final transfer from Dar to NBI, we had a wonderful holiday experience and would recommend Siwandu and Fundu Lagoon in particular as places to visit."

"Great trip with some memorable experiences" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Very well put together by Expert Africa. Professional, helpful and considerate staff.

Well chosen variety of accommodation and locations. We felt we had explored and got to know a great deal of what Namibia has to offer.

Pleasantly surprised that the temperatures were manageable and thought that the low season was a good time to visit because of the lack of other visitors.

Not much rain and although badly needed it counted in our favour." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"I had not been in Kenya since 1983 so this trip allowed me to revisit old places and to experience new ones.

Standard of all our lodges was very high indeed." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari
