Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"It was an excellent trip all round and a delight to be back in Zim.

Thank you to Tom and other members of the team for all thier help.

We plan to go back again and not leave it 30 years!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zimbabwe safari

"The whole trip was absolutely excellent from start to finish and all the arrangements went like clockwork. Lion Camp/ Anabezi was a great combination, enabling us to experience the varying landscapes and wildlife of South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi in beautiful camps. We would rate both camps equally for comfort, luxury and overall wildlife experience.

We loved the informal, friendly atmosphere of Lion Camp. The wildlife was plentiful, the game drives were full on and we found we did not have time to freshen up before dinner (we could have asked to return a bit earlier, but did not want to miss anything!).

We found the atmosphere at Anabezi slightly more formal, but equally welcoming and friendly. The structure of the day there meant that we had more time to relax between game drives and overall the pace felt more leisurely.

A perfect trip, thank you!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"This was a once in a lifetime trip for our family.

We were very grateful for Amanda‘s advice on activities and her assistance in making the trip go very smoothly.

"Maruska and Expert Africa certainly made my trip go seamlessly and I would have no hesitation about recommending them as they took into account everything that I asked for and the information provided was plentiful and clear.

Apart from my flight cancellation (nothing to do with Expert Africa) my entire trip went without a hitch and the the camps that I visited met (or exceeded) expectations, with a high standard of service and organisation.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really. The only point that I would raise is maybe the proximity of the rondavels in Nsefu, which is not ideal for people seeking privacy." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"From the initial conversation with Claire Scott as we framed the itinerary to the end of the trip, the service from Expert Africa was faultless.

The deep understanding of what to expect at each camp from having had first hand experience by visiting makes a lot of difference and is a differentiator from some other companies that offer an extremely wide range of trips with 'experts" covering many countries.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, despite racking my brains before answering!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"We enjoyed a superb family holiday in Namibia.

Self-driving was easier than we expected and the views were stunning - the drive over Spreetshoogte Pass our favourite. Although the drives were long the scenery was rarely less than spectacular and there were numerous wildlife sightings along the way. The short flights from Doro Nawas to Hoanib and from the coast back to Hoanib offered wonderful views too.

We felt that we spent the right amount of time in each place and the itinerary that Claire had put together allowed us to see the highlights of the country." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Anton put together a fabulous trip for us. He listened carefully to our wishes, chose camps which suited us perfectly & enabled us to experience different aspects of the Delta plus the Central Kalahari.

A member of the team was always available with advice or to answer questions, excellent service." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"This was our first time using an agent as we typically like arranging our trips ourselves but we couldn't have managed without the Expert Africa team on this occasion.

We had a wonderful time in Zambia and Malawi and the whole trip fitted together seamlessly.

There was one minor mix up made by the staff in our hotel in Lilongwe which Lucy immediately sorted out with the hotel to get us a partial refund." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Our trip to Namibia was amazing. The scenery is incredible and we had fantastic wildlife experiences. The people we met: guides, staff and fellow travellers, added to our enjoyment and understanding of a very special country. The one thing that can be quite jarring is driving on gravel roads! But you can take your time and the scenery is always stupendous.

Highlights were our desert trek, our excursion in the desert, the setting of Camp Kipwe, the Okaukuejo waterhole, game drives in Etosha and the hide at Onguma. Expert Africa's comprehensive and detailed website helped us choose amazing places to stay and then Sabina's recommendations made it even better.

It was a shame my husband was ill during our trip but it didn't stop him and me enjoying such a special place. Thank you to Sabina who was on hand when our flight out was cancelled and when I left an item at a guesthouse. Everyone on the team showed real kindness to my husband who was hospitalised on his return to the UK. The maps, directions and information sent out before the trip were very useful.

We would thoroughly recommend a trip to Namibia and Expert Africa to organise it. Thank you!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
