Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Overall, we enjoyed the trip but unlike our previous visit in 2019 we were disappointed by the amount of people and volume of vehicles on game drives.

The exception was Mara expedition camp." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"This was our last safari finished in Kenya where we started our safari adventures in 1991.

We deliberately wanted to go to Camps which were unspoilt and/or rustic as they used to be when we started and also in areas with few vehicles and unspoilt countryside. Hence our choice of Laikipia and Tangulia and they both met our our wishes. The highlight of the safari has to be the migration particularly as it was unexpected as we thought the dates were not right for this sighting.

We will miss the sights and sounds of Africa (and the cuts and bruises!!) all of which we experienced on this safari.

Our thanks must be given to all the staff at Expert Africa who we have dealt with over the many years without whom we would not have had our African Adventures.

"The trip was fantastic.

Namibia is stunning, both the landscapes and the wildlife. We had amazing food, amazing camps, some great guides and it was just the best experience.

I’d highly recommend it to anyone and, for us, flying seems like the best way to see as much as you can in a limited amount of time. It is all run so beautifully and it is unbelievable how these camps can exist in such remote places, and be top notch.

The attention to detail is superb, it really was fab, we absolutely loved Namibia." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Our holiday was pretty much perfect! Claire found exactly what we didn't know we wanted. We hold her wholly responsible for the fantastic holiday we had.

The high standard of accommodation, safari and activities on the island were greatly appreciated.

The company running the safari camp and Fanjovi Island are a masterclass in customer service.

Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime!

The only reason I left "value for money" blank is because we have never paid so much for a holiday, nor have we been on a safari so have nothing similar to compare it to.
It was our best holiday, it exceeded our expectations, so no gripes on the "value for money".

No, we don't have any suggestions to improve your trips or your service ---- and that's unusual." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Kenya is one of my most favourite trips. Even with my itchy uncomfortable skin condition, I enjoyed myself immensely.

The guides, aside of the Tanguila guides, were excellent. I was hoping to see more lions and maybe a hunt but instead we saw leopard Natito and her cub, twice and you can't beat that. I was surprised at how close the guides could get us to the large animals.

We got to see big Tusker Craig up close and personal for over an hour. We had the most comfortable accommodations and fabulous food.

I liked the lined ponchos provided by Kicheche camp. Early mornings are cool and they were fabulous.

Overall, as they say, a trip of a lifetime. I'd like to do it again but can it be topped?" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"Living in the U.S. and using a company in London and communicating via email, is a leap of faith that everything will go smoothly and as planned. Expert Africa and Lyndsey have never let me down and every safari they have put together has been an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much! This was my first safari in Kenya and it was incredible. Outstanding guiding throughout. And the camps were all in conservancies, so there were no crowds. The wildlife was abundant and we got really close to elephants and lions. It was absolutely thrilling. Hats off to Lyndsey at Expert Africa who put together this fantastic itinerary.

Lyndsey has put together several safaris over the years. There is nothing to improve upon! My only concern is that Lyndsey might leave Expert Africa!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"Didn't really know what we wanted to do so were reliant on Amanda's advice. We loved all aspects of Nkwali Lodge ...the Lodge, the staff. the food, the location, the safari trips, walking safari and our guide Perry. He was so enthusiastic about his job and making sure we really enjoyed our stay. Also the hostess Bianca arranged for us to having a morning in town to do a craft workshop and visit a school. Perfect 4 days.

Palm Ridge was a bit of a contrast and we enjoyed relaxing by the Zambezi after several 530am starts. Again the staff were excellent and Tina at activities desk arranged several outings once we recuperated.

There were no hiccups throughout the trip ...we were met at airports, picked up in hotels, Zimbabwe visa organised. All ran very smoothly.

If I had to change one thing I would have stayed an extra night in Lusaka. For 2 reasons ...we loved the Latitude 15 hotel and also it would have been interesting to see centre of Lusaka. However we accept total responsibility as at no point did we ask Amanda to do that for us and also we had a limited no of days for trip.

The whole trip was amazing and far exceeded expectations. Shall thank Keith Drew for recommending Expert Africa." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
