Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We had the most epic trip, and Richard was so very helpful in helping us decide where to go and plan the trip. We had zero issues when out in Kenya, which is testament to how well the holiday was organised by ExpertAfrica.

Having not been on safari or to Africa before, we were very grateful to receive such thorough advice from Richard and the EA website/catalogue. We would recommend EA to others and will certainly be making use of it in the future! Thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"We are seasoned safari goers, and each time we embark upon a new trip, there is always the question of whether it will be as good as our previous trips. Unfailingly, it is and this time was no exception. Every aspect of the trip was great and once again we had sightings of animals we'd not seen before, memorable new experiences and met some amazing people.

We would highly recommend this trip.

We cannot think of anything. We've been very happy with Expert Africa for a number of years now and this year was no exception." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Thank you Expert Africa for making this trip (to celebrate my 60th) so memorable.

We have had the most wonderful time. Too many highlights to mention.
Fishermans tours are also very reliable, always on time.
It has been worth every penny." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"All aspects met, or exceeded our expectations. The ground handler provided us with excellent local support throughout our stay and guided us through the various transits.

The game viewing was superb throughout with Kaingo being outstanding." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Great trip to Zimbabwe. Everyone raves about safari guides in Zimbabwe and they really are excellent." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We are seasoned travellers and have been on many safaris previously.

However, we had never seen the migrational activity. We were pleasantly surprised and thoroughly enjoyed Kenya (maybe not Nairobi though). The quality of the game viewing, big cats, river crossings and some rare encounters - serval cat, bat eared fox den etc made it a very special trip. The highlights would be the wildebeest crossing the river, the big cat population and Mara Plains camp, which is exceptional." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Our transfer from Olakari to Rekaro was very tedious with 2 flights and 2 35km road journeys quite apart from delay at Kenya immigration. The new EVisa was not fully understood by border control. The transfer from Wilson Airport to Jomo Kenyatta Airport was long and dusty but might have been even longer if routing through Nairobi itself. Kicheche camp location was a bit disappointing.

Our trip was amazing but even after planning nearly a year prior we were not able to experience our first choice camp in Naboisho especially as we only saw one vehicle with 2 people from Naboisho Assilia camp over 3 days when we were told that that camp was full."

"This was our first safari so we were a bit apprehensive as we really did not know what to expect. But Expert Africa came up trumps and our trip was brilliant, just brilliant.

We were concerned about all the bits (flights, transfers and accommodation) fitting together, but it went like clockwork.

Impala Camp in Selous and Kwihala in Ruaha were perfect, just what we wanted; and the laid-back Pole Pole was the icing on the cake.

Many thanks to Liz for putting our trip together.

Our only problem now is matching it next year!!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"It was great,we had a fantastic trip, although I think spending 6 nights in the same reserve was too much.

It would have probably wiser to choose another camp than Selinda (Chitabe?,Savuti? Mombo?) even if this one was great." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"The trip of a lifetime.

Credit to Claire for organising a fairly complicated trip with multiple border crossings, airport to lodge, lodge to hotel, hotel to airport transfers, which had perfect timing throughout our trip." Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 2 on a Zambia safari
