Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"A huge thank you to Freddie and the team at Expert Africa for recommending the itinerary and then making sure everything worked like clockwork.
Arriving at Lusaka airport at the same time as another flight led to a rather full immigration queue but seeing our name on a board waved at the entrance took away any concerns about finding our way around.
This was our first trip to Africa and our first safari and I am sure that it won't be our last indeed we are already planning a trip next year (in our heads at the moment) but will certainly be coming back to Expert Africa to make it real."

I loved your website - being able to compare all the different lodges in one place made a huge difference.

"Our expectations of the trip were either met or exceeded, It is a great country to visit still largely unspoilt, and I hope that it remains so. The scenery and the wildlife are stunning. Having seem some of the other modes of visiting the country I think that self drive is best even the sand and gravel roads are an interesting way to get about (including the C35 and D854 !!) and it is good to drive on uncongested roads for a change.

The itinerary was well balanced with a mix of accommodation and locations offering different alternatives. We met a mix of visitors from different countries, and Namibia has it own special feel to it reflecting its history and development, and I think this all adds to the holiday experience.

I would just like to say a big thank you to your ground agents Wildlife Safaris particularly the lady at their airport office who was exceedingly helpful and also to their staff on the emergency line who responded to our call on the 28th Sept.

This was a memorable holiday." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip was fantastic. As a our 2nd Botswana safari it outdid our expectations. The camps were great and the food lovely. The wildlife remains superb. It takes a bit longer to find than say the Masai Mara but rewards the effort with really special sightings in a largely pristine natural environment of extreme beauty."

"It was the most amazing holiday ever." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"Katavi and Mafia are both fairly off-the-beaten-track, which I loved, although there was quite a lot of travel in between locations. Flight schedules also meant having to spend a day at either end of the trip in Arusha, which was probably not the most efficient use of time, especially for a short holiday.

However, Katavi and Mafia were both places I really wanted to visit and I wouldn't have changed that." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"I love Namibia's diverse and constantly changing landscape which constantly piques and grabs your attention.

There is so much to see and experience as you travel around and each day presents something truly remarkable and special." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We have had many African safari holidays but this was one of the best.

Small peaceful remote camps, excellent staff and accommodation. Standard of guiding was exceptional. The wildlife viewing was amazing.

For those interested in photography the provision of dust covers, beanbags etc was helpful and the hides afforded great opportunities to get amazing shots." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"A truly brilliant trip - one of our best and we have been to Africa on safari on many occasions..

Our fears of the valley being overrun by vehicles were unfounded as the southern end of the Park was just beautiful and only saw Kainga and Mwamba vehicles. Plenty of game but then it was very hot and animals had to come to water. Wonderful photographic opportunities!

We would recommend this trip but perhaps go to the lodge on the Lower Zambezi at the end of the holiday and have a relaxing afternoon on the river and then collected for evening game drive!

All in all a memorable holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
