Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The initial reason for our trip to Nairobi at this time was business. So, we were looking for a short break which would not involve travelling significant distances in Kenya and which would be relatively budget friendly. Nairobi NP was therefore an obvious choice, especially when Richard Trillo pointed us towards The Emakoko.

However, with only three direct flights per week between Livingstone (where we are now based) and Nairobi we really wanted to tack on a couple of days somewhere else. Again, Richard's deep knowledge of Kenya came to the fore; and he was able to work some dates around Shompole and The Emakoko which fitted in with our other plans.

This was our 18th trip with EA in a few weeks over 10 years, which speaks volumes for the high quality of service Chris and his team consistently provide." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Kenya safari

"A trip that we had planned to go gorilla trekking for a honeymoon, ended up as an early surprise trip that I had organised for our engagement (I guess I will now need to find another location for our honeymoon - but I guess we could always go back!)
This was a very special trip for us and exceeded all of our expectations (to top it all off - she did say 'yes') - Rwanda is a great place to visit - a beautiful country with welcoming and kind people - I would recommend anyone to visit! We will certainly be back in the near future! A trip of lifetime that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Rwanda safari

"A memorable experience which fulfilled all of our expectations. Having visited Africa 25 years ago we were always keen to return and it did not disappoint!

We will return again! A great family holiday." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We had the most incredible, amazing holiday. It was truly a holiday of a lifetime.

The gorillas were unforgettable in Rwanda and I would definitely advise others who are thinking of going to do a trip to the golden monkeys first and two trips to the gorillas, as the second trip was even better than the first. We got so close to the gorillas we could have touched them (we didn't!). A silverback actually brushed past my husband - we all held our breath!

The safari in Tanzania was also incredible, but made even more special by our driver Faso who was so knowledgeable about all the animals and birds.

The holiday was not cheap, but it was worth every penny that we paid and would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa. In fact, we are already of thinking about doing another safari, once we have saved up a bit!!

I want to thank Expert Africa for organising our trip.

We have lots of videos (especially of the gorillas) and photos if you would like us to send you some." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

Lyndsey and James were very very helpful in helping us choose what was right for us.

Extremely knowledgable, patient and flexible to accommodate our constantly changing requests.

"Everything about our Kenyan holiday was fantastic from game viewing to relaxing at the coast.

Thanks to Richard Trillo for organising it all and for his suggestions of Laikipia Wilderness and Kinondo Kwetu both of which were outstanding." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"South African Airways was a disappointment. O.R.Tambo needed more time on the outward journey due to long queues at immigration.

Hotel, Lodges and Guesthouses were on the whole excellent. Meals were of a good standard.

Some of the driving was not for the fainthearted! Road surfaces varied from excellent tar roads to poor dirt roads, none impassable! As expected!

We had a wonderful time for our second visit to Namibia, very friendly people. South Africa is equally friendly." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"A marvellous safari without a single glitch. Connections were perfect and all aspects of the visit were clearly explained and punctual and the services provided were excellent. Staff at Windhoek were most accommodating as they were in all the other locations.

Namibia is beyond spectacular. What additionally impressed us was the attitude of the Namibians to their country and to the environment. Most reassuring to see the efforts being made to sustain the right balance.

The tour planning by Sabina was perfect for us." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
