"What an amazing experience"

I visited Rwanda and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2017 and 17 Feb 2017
"Our second trip with Expert Africa did not disappoint.

James organised everything from the UK brilliantly, and was superbly patient with our changes of ideas and plans!

The one area of the trip was the quality of accommodation at Gorilla Mountain View lodge as I think that the review enhanced our expectations.

However overall an incredible experience to be recommended to anyone." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 4 on a Rwanda safari

"My Feb 2017 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2017 and 26 Feb 2017
"The best recommendation I can give is that I would use Expert Africa again, and I would recommend them to anyone going to Africa.

I would also recommend Nomad Tanzania to anyone going to Tanzania. Expert (Eleanor and Olivia) did a great job during the lengthy period of planning the trip, answering questions, responding by email in a timely fashion, alerting me to details that I needed to complete, nudging where appropriate, offering unbiased advice.

In short, our two week trip to Arusha, Gibbs Farm, the Ngorongoro Crater, Southern Serengeti, Northern Serengeti (Lamai), Stone Town and Zanzibar beaches was terrific and I would do it again. Especially the Serengeti. And no question that Serengeti Lamai was the highlight of the trip. A unique spot. I found it very moving to contemplate the origins of our species a million years ago arising from the very same surroundings, surviving the challenges of hunter and prey, and literally standing up on two feet and becoming the dominant species of the planet. Really powerful.

Well done, Expert Africa!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"My Feb 2017 trip"

I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 10 Feb 2017 and 1 Mar 2017
"It was everything we hoped for. There were no glitches and no disappointments.

Kwandwe was even better than expected.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

You can't change a winning formula - you know exactly what you are doing. Trustworthy comes to mind. As soon as we decided to return to Namibia and S. Africa we contacted Tracy who had helped us the first time.

I hope we will do it again in the not too distant future.

Thank you for a wonderful trip." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 8 on a South Africa trip

"Feb 17 Africa Trip "

I visited Zambia between 10 Feb 2017 and 20 Feb 2017
"We had been looking forward to this trip for ages, so the expectation levels were very high.

And we needn't have worried as the whole trip was all we could have possibly hoped it would be from the very beginning on arrival at the Avani in Zambia.

It was all organised so well with the smallest of detail included that would prove useful as we went along.

i.e. Knowing beforehand that we could buy a UniVisa in $ on arrival in Zambia & useful info on what to tip the parking attendants, etc
Tracy's idea of us not collecting the hire car on our arrival at night for what was our first time in Cape Town was an insightful choice.

"Namibian Adventure 2017"

I visited Namibia between 9 Feb 2017 and 28 Feb 2017
"Interesting and varied- the combination of flying and self-driving was the perfect choice for us. However, one does need to be prepared to drive long distances - often hours in endlessly flat, unchanging country.( A good, detailed map is essential - the Tracks Africa map is excellent)

Rather disappointing that Hoanib was the only camp that provided any educational/informative element- a very good film on the desert lions and a lecture by a visiting bat researcher!

More of that sort of thing would have much appreciated- especially where we stayed three nights in one place, (Most camps seem to be geared to two-night stays) Would have very much liked to know more about the different tribes etc- which we finally did on our last day at the National Museum in Windoek , which has seen better days, but is still very interesting.

We loved the ability to get away into some unspoilt and spectacular county -and avoid crowds of tourists. The exception to that was Sossusvlie, where there were far too many people and traffic .... a bit of a shock after the tranquility of Etendenka!

We worry that Namibia is about to OD on tourism and lose its unique appeal....." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"My Feb 2017 trip"

I visited South Africa between 8 Feb 2017 and 1 Mar 2017
"Once again, Tracy came up trumps! We had been spoiled on our previous trip, to Zambia and Namibia, and weren't expecting to be quite so blown away this time - but we were, thanks to the sheer variety of the package that Tracy put together for us. From our safari experience at Kwandwe, to the opulence of the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town, we were stunned by the quality of accommodation and service we encountered throughout our trip. Thank you so much, Tracy!

We loved South Africa, and very much look forward to returning there in the near future.

None at all - our experience with Expert Africa has been just what we wanted, and we know we can trust you to put together the ideal holiday experience to suit our requirements. We look forward to our next trip with you!" Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 21 on a South Africa trip

"Botswana at low season"

I visited Botswana between 8 Feb 2017 and 20 Feb 2017
"We felt that the London Expert Africa people were following our trip in order to ensure satisfaction.

This included making arrangements for a helicopter lift out of one camp in order not to miss connecting flights (flooded runway).

Fortunately, Mack Air was able to make a short distance landing and takeoff with a regular plane. I'll be back.

Sarah offered two contrasting trip plans which allowed us to choose well in terms of budget and overall comfort. Well done." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Our second great Expert Africa safari"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 5 Feb 2017 and 24 Feb 2017
"Thank you again, Maruska. Everything went absolutely perfectly, exactly according to plan. We just could not have asked for more, truly a trip of a lifetime. We especially loved Primate Safaris in Rwanda and our guide Sura." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"when can I go back?"

I visited Namibia between 4 Feb 2017 and 19 Feb 2017
"The organisation and choices of places by expert Africa were outstanding. Everything went like clockwork. Because we spent time talking with Tom and because he listened, we got everything that we wanted from the trip. Expert Africa must be the best in their field. When we go again (and we will,), we will go for longer. Most sites could do with longer stays as there is so much to see.
I would definitely take a 4x4 with lockable cabinets in it.
The drives between sites was just about tha perfect distance and gave you a chance to appreciate the magnificent landscapes.
All the driving was very easy except for the sand road between Kipwe and Swapokmund which needed concentration
Never unlock your car doors in Windhoek.
I would unreservedly recommend Expert Africa to anyone wanting to see the stunning beauties of Namibia." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
