Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"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

"The overall trip was very good indeed. It was a trip planned with a specific view to experience the wildebeest migration. We were able to to see one such river crossing event very well from the Little Governor's camp. And another similar event partially from the Karen Blixen camp.

The sighting of lions, leopards, cheetahs was also extensive. For the bird watchers in the group also, the trip was excellent.

All arrangements were fine, and all planned events, stays, travels, activities were executed smoothly.

A few areas where EA can perhaps take some steps to ensure a little better care in future have been highlighted. These are not meant as criticism but as suggestions for improvements & I am sure they will be considered accordingly." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

"Lucy helped us organize this short break after many other options were considered. Lucy is intimately familiar with options in that region and gave us impartial and practical advice. I look forward to booking out next trip with Expert Africa." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zambia safari

"We had two absolutely brilliant weeks in Etosha (and at Erongo Wilderness Lodge on our way there). We have come home with memories of some incredible wildlife sightings with photos that will take a while to sort. We weren't after luxury accommodation - we wanted to be inside the park and maximise our wildlife-viewing time. Staying at Okaukuejo, Halali and Dolomite delivered in spades! Thank you Expert Africa for understanding what we wanted and for securing our bookings for us (as it's virtually impossible for individuals to do this using the online booking facility provided by NWR even though we tried almost a year in advance). Thank you too for the Erongo recommendation as it was nice to start there." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
