Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Our safari in Selous and Ruaha compared very favourably with other safari holidays we have had in southern Africa. A few days at Ras Kutani was an ideal way to relax at the end of our trip.

All the travel arrangements worked well.

The staff in all the places where we stayed were invariably very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Altogether a wonderful holiday." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"It was a trip of a lifetime for both of us." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"A very good trip.

Richard's recommendations of the Emakoko and Laikipia Wilderness were perfect for us, with real style. Saruni Samburu was spectacular but probably not quite our style, although I think some people would love it. Air Kenya is what it is, a magical mystery tour.

Very happy overall." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"A fantastic trip that surpassed our high expectations. I don't think that there is anything that we would have done differently.

The highlights were Erongo Wilderness Lodge, the drive across Etosha National Park, the drive down the Skeleton Coast, Swakopmund, the trip to Sandwich Harbour and last, but very definitely not least, Sossusvlei Desert Lodge.

Namibia proved a wonderful country to visit, with a very welcoming people, all of whom seemed to have a great sense of humour.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend Namibia as a destination and Expert Africa as the company to organise a visit." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"Good hotels and good value. Food portions too large and too much meat to veg.

Felt very safe everywhere." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip

"We loved the country and felt safer there than in any other African country we have been to. A great holiday - thanks

Ellie was very helpful on the outward journey when our BA flight was delayed and we may have had to change flight. Luckily in the end we just about made our connection thanks to SAA's flexible check in timings!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Mozambique holiday

"An outstanding trip that exceeded all our expectations of scenery, animals, accomodation and welcome.

All the guides were good, but Francois at Hoanib and Suama at Kulala were outstanding - perhaps the best guides we ever have had. Francois in particular was keen to go the extra mile to make our trip special." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"We had a really memorable trip and each of the camps provided unforgettable experience, but the whole thing was rescued by the staff at Expert Africa after our disastrous experiences with the airline.

Liz Wollen's recommendations as to the best balance for the trip and the camps to stay at were really helpful, and we are so grateful for all the work that went in to making sure we got the whole of the ten days' trip. A lot of the reorganisation - rebooking airlines and camps had to be done late at night, our time, and Maruska, in New Zealand did so much reorganising so quickly and kept us up to date.

Liz and Maruska really rescued our trip and for that we are immensely grateful.

Expert Africa would now always be our agents of choice. We have received an exceptionally professional, efficient and friendly service for which we are immensely grateful. We really can't recommend them highly enough" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Absolutely brilliant trip.

I knew I wanted a prolonged stay at a single camp. Have used Expert Africa before and talked to Liz about my requirements. She put the trip together just as required including flexibility / changes due to various airline changes to international flight schedules."
