Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Would have liked to know my options when travelling to Zanzibar as I was unaware that Stone Town was the only big town in Zanzibar! Perhaps I should have done more research myself, but having only one choice of hotel in Zanzibar seems somewhat limiting!

Lake Manze was a delight and the highlight of our trip.

Thanks again." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"The trip was all we expected it to be and more. The choice of lodges was excellent and that has to be down to the experience of Expert Africa.
Extending our stay in some of the lodges was the correct decision as it allowed us to relax rather than feel we were always on the move.
We would definitely use ExpertAfrica again if we visited Africa again." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"A great trip. Very varied. Friendliness wherever we went. A lot of miles, many on poor roads, the rest on very good (and quiet) paved roads. The standard of lodges was, on the whole, very high. The food was better than expected. Most of the extra activities were good and the country was as dramatic as we hoped. Virtually no mosquitoes at this time of year.

We changed plane at Jo'burg. No biometric checks in transit or any problems with forwarded luggage." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Safari was wonderful.

All connections, transfers etc booked by Expert Africa went so smoothly.

"As requested Expert Africa did not arrange our flights or the accommodation in Stone town.

All that they organised was just as promised and to a very high standard." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a wonderful holiday in Southern Africa. There are so many memories- we tried to name our 'top 10 best moments' but it was impossible as each day offered something new and exciting. We will definitely be back to this lovely part of the world before too long.

Thank you to Tracy Lederer for her advice and organisation - everything ran very smoothly and exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"We returned to Botswana again this year to rejuvenate our sprits.

Wildlife conservation in Africa is our passion, but the rate of decline in much of Africa due to the loss of habitat, poaching, drought and other factors leaves us discouraged.

Botswana is the antidote. The wildlife population is stable, the government has a conservation ethic, and the population values their wildlife as a national treasure.

We can't wait to return." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari

"We thoroughly enjoyed our Zambian experience. We had great wildlife encounters with knowledgeable and charming guides, fabulous camps, outstanding food and very welcoming camp staff. We couldn't have asked for more and whilst Botswana remains my favourite safari destination because of the magnificent Okavango Delta, Zambia is a very close second."

"This was a special trip to celebrate some special birthdays and it was brilliant from start to finish. It completely exceeded our expectations.

The primate trekking throughout was phenomenal and brilliantly organised and to see gorillas in their natural habitat was awesome. Thank you Ellie for advising us to go twice, it was amazing! Expert Africa were professional and knowledgeable in their organisation and booking of the trip. I'd have absolutely no reservations in recommending you to friends and family. Our guide in Rwanda, Alex, was fantastic.

Thank you for making our trip so memorable and we're telling everyone about it!

A true holiday of a lifetime!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Rwanda safari

"It was our first time using a company to plan our trip and our first time in Africa. I worked with Freddie for a year and a half. He always answered my emails promptly and all his advises were outstanding. We met another traveler that had used his service and were impressed how he had catered to our different needs so perfectly. I have already recommended Expert Africa, especially Freddie to a bunch of friends. The trip was flawless, with staff welcoming us everywhere and assuring that we would get safely to our next destination.
Zambia was incredible and the sightings were amazing." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
