Superb accommodation and fabulous food and drink.

Freddie [Ed: one of Expert Africa's Zambia experts] was great from the start, spending 45 minutes on my initial call to explain all the options and costings. Couldn't have asked for more. We received a guidebook which was great before and during the trip. A really nice touch. Freddie continued to advise us on aspects of the trip that we were looking at beyond our visit to South Luangwa Park. This was much appreciated."

"Good combination of game parks in S Luangwa and Lower Zambezi and nice combination of lodges/activities.

Good game viewing seeing the majority of animals including lion, leopard, genet, wild dogs, buffalo, hippos, elephant, antelope, and also lots of others. Also good bird life viewing.

As always the guided walking were very well organised and with excellent guides (especially Kanga), also good spotting of animals on walks.

Having been to Zambia 4/5 times now we wonder if there are less lions than there used to be, there is some hunting allowed adjacent to some of the park boundaries and does this affect numbers and cause more inter-breeding? We did see lions but not in large numbers, max 3 at one time and no cubs were seen, but it was said there were 2/3 cubs in the areas we were at."

"We had a superb safari.

The weather was more akin to the end of August than the end of July and everywhere was very dry, forcing the game to the river. In all 3 lodges visited, Tena Tena, Lion Camp and Nkwali, we had excellent guides and better sightings than expected. Tena Tena and Lion Camp were more remote locations with less safari traffic than Nkwali.

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"This was my 30th trip to Africa and my best yet.

The game viewing was truly amazing, with wild dogs and leopard cubs being the highlights. We had some excellent guiding, and the camps were stunning and very varied in style.

South Luangwa is a little piece of paradise and I think still under rated as a safari destination." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"This was our first safari, so we had no idea what to expect, but simultaneously very high hopes.

Needless to say, the Okavango Delta, the camps, the game, and the people all surpassed our expectations.

We had a fantastic holiday, and will definitely be back." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"This was a special trip for us as a family and Tracy put together some really great alternatives in order to make our timings work. Each country was different and immaculately planned. The attention to detail and our particular needs was expertly handled and the suggestions given to us were all perfectly matched.
This trip was fabulous, it will be a memory which never fades." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 5 on a Mozambique holiday
