Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We had a fantastic holiday in Namibia, Victoria Falls and Botswana. It took alot of planning with the help of Megan but it ended up being even better than we thought it would be.

We had lots of variety but I think we would say the private mobile safari was our favourite thing. When we started our holiday we thought a month away was a long holiday but we didn't once feel it was too long, probably just right really. We saw such amazing things. Megan was great when we had some money stolen out of the safe in one of the lodges, fortunately we didn't need to take her up on her offer to get cash to us.

We found Megan to be very knowledgeable and she always listened to our requests. Thank you for making this a dream holiday." Read full review: 31 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"I had high expectations, and I wasn't disappointed. Thank you very much for an amazing trip. End to end, all arrangements worked well. I felt by looked after without any of the 'package' feeling that sometimes comes with an organised trip. High quality throughout, and first rate guides and other staff.

I'm pleased I spent a couple of days in Kigali prior to being 'met' and would recommend the same to other travelers.

I will certainly recommend Expert Africa to others." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Rwanda safari

"I was very satisfied.

This was my first visit to South Luangwa Valley. A very beautiful scenery along the river with lots of animals in the dry season.

"A very special trip with memories that will last for a very long time. Most of the specific comments are in the individual review sections so it is only worth adding that overall the variety of the two camps was very important and the order that we did them was great. At Sable Alley we were very comfortable and loved the setting, staff and the huge quantity and variety of wildlife. Little Vumbura offered a different setting with a different experience."

"This was a very enjoyable holiday involving an overnight stay in Lusaka, three camps, three internal flights and a boat transfer between two camps. All the arrangements worked out well with no problems. It was helpful to be met at Lusaka airport on two arrivals and departures, and guided through procedures there (including on best passport/visa queue). The advice in the Expert Africa Zambia booklet about checking the correct number of days on the Visa was pertinent as the officer misheard and initially gave us too short a period - but it was quickly corrected when we pointed out the error.

The camps were all excellent and well run by friendly staff. Overall, we had a good variety of types of game watching trips (drives, boat, canoe, walking and hides) with knowledgeable guides who put a lot of effort in to searching for animals while spending plenty of time to observe animal behaviour. Although the variety of mammals was not as great as on previous safaris in other countries we had a number of very memorable wildlife experiences.

Many thanks to Megan for her advice and for organizing the holiday which was our third with Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"A wonderful trip which is going to be difficult to follow.

The logistics worked out exactly right, and thank you Claire for the little extras that appeared at several of the stops to recognise our anniversary." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was our second visit to Namibia and our first not organized as a group. After this experience we can say we much prefer traveling on our own. Expert Africa helped us organize the exact trip we wanted and it exceeded all our expectations. We were able to visit parts of Namibia was had not seen during our first visit.

The team member who organized our trip has first-hand knowledge of Namibia, which was very helpful. Expert Africa thought of every detail, provided comprehensive information and were responsive to us during our trip as well.

We are already planning our next trip to Africa and will use Expert Africa to plan that trip as well." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip
