Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The whole trip was absolutely amazing and felt like quite a few holidays in one.

The one thing we would change would be go for 3 weeks rather 2 (as per many of the other Europeans!) if we could get the time off. Namibia is such a varied country with amazing landscapes, teeming with wildlife and great hospitality.

Every place we stayed (and there were 7) had a wow factor and I wonder if any other country will ever offer us so much again.

We only saw one other British family when we were there so it really is one of those best kept secrets!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Malawi is the third trip that we have booked with Expert Africa in the last year following Namibia and Rwanda (incorporating Uganda) and disregarding the issue with the Ulendo flight from Likoma and the miscommunication with Latitude 13, it was another wonderful trip.

Many thanks as always for the organisation and recommendations that have made our trips so memorable and special. We look forward to the preparations for our next one.

Sincerely, Anna & Malcolm

"This was our first real safari and we choose Expert Africa through Personal recommendation. We found them to be very helpful with very good advice on which camps to choose for what we wanted to get out of the holiday.

At the suggestion of Expert Africa we had a late change to our itinerary to include a Stopover in Lusaka for the first night and it made a huge difference. Rather than arrive at the first camp late in the day and tired we were able to arrive at lunchtime and were much more refreshed. Would definitely recommend this approach."

"Our trip was excellent. We stayed 11 nights in 4 camps and 3 nights in guest houses. These gave us a sample of Namibia, but we left feeling there was much more to see.

Expert Africa helped us translate our vague plan into a trip that fit our needs very well. The drive/fly itinerary gave us the experience of driving in Namibia, but allowed us more time to enjoy the camps. We're very glad we stayed for 3 nights in most of the camps. The balloon ride was expensive, but worth it.

Our best memories are the subtle beauty of the landscape and the close interactions with animals that are possible in very few places in the world. We were very lucky to (follow someone who could) track and find 4 black rhino, 2 leopards and a cheetah.

Now that we're home, we face the daunting task of turning several thousand of photos into a few dozen that succinctly communicate the experiences we had on this trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Really excellent holiday.....only small problem was nobody met us at Dar domestic terminal to take us to the International terminal so we had to get a taxi after waiting to see if anyone came for us.

The arrangements from when we started discussions with Freddie to our return home were excellent and we can’t wait for another safari holiday in two years time.

This was our sixth safari holiday and just about the best." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Maruska made our trip easy and manageable from start to finish. As a representative of your company know that she does an incredible job.

This trip was seamless, fun and I would recommend your agency to anyone that asks." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"great trip which we will remember over and above our other safari trips in Africa for the quality and variety of the animals, the staff at the camps and the Vic Falls hotel.

We will also remember the great support provided by Lucy Copson when things went a little off schedule - that was really appreciated in a difficult period." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"A great 70th birthday trip.

Perhaps erred a bit on the luxurious side, but we didn't really complain." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 26 on a Namibia trip

"This trip was my 2nd visit to Zambia and 1st vist to Kafue.

I often travel solo. so camp's friendly atmosphere is a priority. In this sense I think Musekese and Ntemwa are the best camps I've ever stayed in Africa.

I will go back ---probably next year." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
