"Our fabulous Zimbabwe adventure"

I visited Zimbabwe between 22 Sep 2015 and 3 Oct 2015
"From the early booking stage our trip was superbly managed by Expert Africa and the service and organisation on the ground in Zimbabwe was generally very good.

The excellent hospitality and superb guiding, together with the warm welcome extended by the local people, made this an unforgettable experience and we would not hesitate to return to Zimbabwe. Of the 3 camps we stayed in, the 2 run by Wilderness Safaris provided a good level of overall comfort, despite their somewhat corporate feel, and still retained a genuine bush feel.

Rhino Safari Camp was somewhat disappointing and seemed to reflect the current run down situation in Matusadona.

We were approached several times, by fellow travellers, concerning the matter of "tips" and as we have found on previous safaris this remains a contentious issue. What is too much and what is too little?? Your guidelines suggest one thing and the camps have their own suggestions........

Overall we felt that we had a good value holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Fabulous holiday"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2015 and 2 Oct 2015
"We had a really great and relaxing holiday.

All the hotels and actives were well chosen for us. All our transfers worked very well.

Needed some advice from James about how much cash to take-and got it just right-thank you.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

May be worth adding in the information booklet that only need to pay departure tax for international flights from Zanzibar - but not from Dar
Can't think of anything else" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"My Sep 2015 trip"

I visited Namibia between 21 Sep 2015 and 8 Oct 2015
"A great trip to Namibia thanks to Expert Africa !

Highlights were the variety of landscapes, the wildlife in Etosha, the desert-elephant, cheetah and leopard tracking and the friendliness of the local people.

We did a self drive tour based on the Caracal trip with an extra night at Central Highlands. The 2 night stops worked well with one day of driving and one day of activities. Our hire car was a 2WD SUV which was fine on the gravel roads.

We had one puncture half way between Solitaire and Swakopmund, so would recommend carrying a second spare tyre.

I visited Tanzania between 19 Sep 2015 and 3 Oct 2015

"Tanzania safari and beach (Sept 2015)"

I visited Tanzania between 19 Sep 2015 and 30 Sep 2015
"The trip went perfectly - we were met as scheduled for our various transfers and everything went to plan. The camps were very much as described on the Expert Africa website and the safaris more than met our expectations - this certainly ranks in our top 3 holidays ever - and we've been lucky enough to have had a lot of holidays all over the world!

From first contact Ellie was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly - that was why despite finding a slightly cheaper quote, I got back to her to give her the chance to price match (which she did) - we were kept informed throughout and the literature provided was very useful - when I needed clarification on a couple of points Ellie was quick to reply.

The only thing I think we could have done differently is to visit Ruaha first - the parks were both excellent in different ways but Impala camp was special in terms of 'customer service' - the River Lodge was fine but coming after Impala it was always going to suffer by comparison! Either way we still enjoyed ourselves immensely, so a big thank you for that!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The issue regarding the date of dollar notes which are acceptable in Tanzania needs to be clarified - your original 'notes' booklet says notes should dated 'after 2000', although your letter of 7 September updated this to 2003. I had 3 or 4 20 dollar notes dated 2004 and a couple dated 2006 and Selous Impala camp said they were not acceptable - luckily I also had enough in sterling to cover this deficit. However when we got to Ruaha the manager said she was unaware of any problems with notes after 2000!

A relatively small matter but it could be important in some cases." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2015 trip"

I visited Namibia between 18 Sep 2015 and 8 Oct 2015
"I would recommend Namibia to anyone. Probably one of the best holidays we have ever had.

The itinerary worked very well. Note our comments about Swakop and Doro Nawas.

The car was a worry and really not good enough.

All round a great service resulting in an exceptional holiday experience. Many thanks." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"excellent return trip to Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 18 Sep 2015 and 2 Oct 2015
"It was our 7th visit and we loved it all.

Remote Africa Safaris has a fine combination of bushcamps, excellent and flexible guides, similar good food at all isolated camps and the constant attention from John & Carol Coppinger. Superb unpretentious safari. We walked for 11 out of 13 days , with good night drives at Tafika. Talking with other visitors, and our own experience over the years this remains The Top Spot for Luangwa.

Happy days!
