"Superb Holiday with three totally different experiences. Our Thanks to James Denny for listening to us and gauging us so well. Every part of the holiday worked from the locations to the transport in between. Many thanks" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"The short stay in Franschhoek was only part of our foray down from Livingstone as we stopped off two nights in Johannesburg on the way home (for shopping). Expert Africa only dealt with the Franschhoek leg but did so with all the expertise we have come to take for granted almost after ten years and nineteen trips with them.

As a general comment, we can recommend the Kenya Airways Livingstone/Cape Town service which is relatively new and which we were using for the first time (though we did use the second leg to Nairobi and back last month). For anyone wanting to visit the Cape and see the Victoria Falls this is a very handy service. We shall certainly be using it again in the near future in both directions from our Livingstone home."

"Expert Africa was the best. Maruska Adye took our wishlist and created something wonderful. She surpassed what we thought we wanted and did it all within our budget. She was very helpful - changing a couple things around when we decided to do a guided tour, and really helped us through every aspect of the trip. She told all our locations that it was our honeymoon, so we had special treatment at 3/5! Her attitude was great!

Our trip was incredible, Namibia is truly a beautiful country and we can't wait to explore more of Africa with the help of Expert Africa!

"As a whole, the trip was fabulous. With Elizabeth's help in the planning stage, I believe that we created a trip with the appropriate number of stops ( not too many) and a perfect mix of interesting, different locations.

The logistics of the vacation were excellent. There was not a single "hitch" in any of our transfers. Each and every guide/driver was gracious, efficient ---- a pleasure to be with.

Thank you for helping to create a great adventure." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Fantastic! everything worked out without any problem and fit together with our oversee flights and our stay in Zanzibar." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Fabulous trip with perfect balance of safari & beach.

Southern Cross Safari drivers were great, especially our safari guide who was really nice & knowledgeable and took us on great game drives. Loved having our own vehicle & driver for the whole time. Would have been good for there to have been bottled water in vehicle on long drive from Nairobi to Satao & from Satao to Watamu (we had to stop to buy some & then always remember to have our own).

Ocean Sports was perfect for us and we loved its chilled, unstuffy atmosphere. It is a very friendly place and some of the staff were fantastic (Florian, the manager, is great). But I wish we had been warned in advance that we would be arriving right in the middle of a huge New Year's Day party which went on until 1am - service the next day was decidedly slow & ropey!

Thank you for your help in organising such a wonderful trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Great holiday - have been thinking about a safari for a while - should have done it a long time ago. Great holiday - will do again." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"I was lucky that after looking at several websites I decided to call Expert Africa to talk about organising my 70th birthday present to myself --taking my entire family of 21 on a safari and beach holiday over new year.

I was even luckier that I spoke to Ellie. She spent ages going through the options and also checking on availability for such a large group. Her recommendations turned out to be perfect and the logistics she planned for moving such a large group around Kenya went like clockwork -- in fact better than that!!

Obviously just us all being together meant we were happy but because of Ellie's knowledge Mara Intrepid and Pinewood were the perfect places for such a diverse age range(6 to 70) and the private plane transfers the icing on my birthday cake.

We are a bunch of very well seasoned travellers -- we had people coming from 2 different continents the day before we went and quite a few had done safaris before but we all agreed this was simply the best holiday experience ever!!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"Excellent. We had such a good time.

The only down note was Etosha Onguma Aoba but overall the trip was fantastic. One that we'll never forget." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
