Africa: Reviews from our travellers
Latest news: unedited reviews from Expert Africa's most recent travellers
"My Feb 2025 trip"
We were paired with an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and who went above and beyond to ensure we had great mammal and bird sightings. Especially in the Ngorongoro crater and Ndutu area, the abundance of wildlife was mesmerizing.
We stayed mostly in the parks and we could really feel the proximity of the wildlife during our stay. Especially, one member of our party had a very close encounter with a lion one morning when going to breakfast (it was after sunrise and the night guards seemed to have finished their shift). We found out later that lions liked to use the path near our cabin very frequently.
More information on how to react and deal with this sort of encounter could have been helpful (not just saying there could be 'wildlife' passing by). Luckily, they managed to make it back to the cabin unharmed and live to tell the tale! Had something bad happened, our trip would have turned out very differently."

"My Feb 2025 trip"
We have gone with the knowledge that we will see amazing things, will be well-prepared in what to expect, and happily surprised by the level of care and hospitality we receive.
I don't know how it all seems to come about so effortlessly but am grateful that a vacation with Expert Africa is also an adventure of the best kind." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Botswana safari
"Kenya & Tanzania"
Moreover, we were personally guided at every customer touch point.
We didn't carry our luggage once on a trip that had ten flights and 4 locations.
We had amazing weather, great game viewing and superb service throughout.
There was so many special moments on our trip from sunset by Kilimanjaro, to the hot air balloon over the Mara and having a personal chef in the bush for breakfast.
Parita and Expert Africa were fanatic throughout. We got amazing lodges considering our last minute booking and at great value.
Parita assisted with all aspects from plugs to vaccines and everything in-between. She really helped to make this trip a truly magical experience!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari

Once again EA excelled themselves in ensuing that the trip went without any hitches. Parita was always on hand prior to our departure to answer any queries that we might have had. We've been using EA for all our trips since early 2000's and have never had any cause for concern.
Africa is an itch that won't go away!!

"My Feb 2025 trip"
We were overwhelmed by the variety and number of sightings, the people in the camps, the facilities.
We are not enthusiastic birders, but the number and variety of birds actually excited us!
As a keen photographer, this trip exceeded expectations!
Literally there was nothing that put a damper on the experience!
