"My Oct 2016 Zanzibar trip"
The excursions seemed expensive, but I did enjoy them. I had a very good guide from Fisherman's Tours who took me on a tour of Stone Town and a boat trip to Prison Island.
I didn't do as much snorkelling as I would have liked as it was not feasible to snorkel at low tide. At high tide it would have meant swimming out quite a way to get to the reef. I did try near the shoreline, but could only see sea urchins and seaweed and the wind was churning up the sand making visibility poor." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Selous visit 2016"
Some people may think it odd to spend the visit in one park, but it gave us the chance to see the different environments in a leisurely way, something we enjoy immensely.
It's impossible to pick one favourite camp due to this, and all gave good value for money." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

do not talk down the government camps in etosha as they are the best if you want instant access to the park & have fantastic water holes" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"Fall, 2016"
"My Oct 2016 trip"
Both the hotels were excellent and very good value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and both Russell and Heidi need to be commended on the staff and the service provided.
The guide who was booked for me by Expert Travel to do the walking tour of stone Town was very good, knowledgable and gave a good insight into Zanziabr and it's history.
The taxi driver was the same one who picked up form the airport, drove me to Emerson Spice and to Pongwe Beach and to the airport again. It was lovely it was the same gentleman who was very friendly and keen to show me the island and culture.

I found Expert Africa to be excellent at what they do. I was provided with all the information I could want and nothing was too much trouble.
My questions were answered in a timely manner and I liked and found the guide book and folder that was provided for holding tickets etc to be very useful.
I would definitely use Expert Africa again and would recommend you as a tour company to other people.
I am thinking of going to Namibia next year and will definitely be in contact with you if I decide to go." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zanzibar holiday
"First trip to Namibia"
The lodges we stayed at were fantastic. We made a change to our itinerary as we didn't feel that Swakopmund offered us a truly African experience so we swapped 2 nights in Swakopmund for a night in Erongo Wilderness Lodge, which was very special, with beautifully designed up market tented accommodation in the Erongo Mountains. The activities were simple (trekking in the mountains) but very good fun.
Then we went to Okanjima to track leopards and cheetahs. This was an incredible experience. We didn't love the accommodation and the restaurant so much there, but it was well worth the visit because of our close encounters with these beautiful wild cats."
