Africa: Reviews from our travellers
Latest news: unedited reviews from Expert Africa's most recent travellers
"excellent return trip to Zambia"
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!

don't change too much. It all works well and the advice is better and more helpful than other agents give." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Back to Zambia again"
We love the Robin Pope camps in the South Luangwa, and our fourth visit to them met all our expectations. The game viewing and guiding at these camps is exceptionally good, making our time there so enjoyable.
Chiawa and Old Mondoro are both very special, in different ways. We had visited them five years ago, and wanted to return. Staying at both of them provides complementary experiences of the Lower Zambezi, with superb game viewing and guiding at both. Our walks with Paul Grobler at Chiawa were one of the highlights of the whole trip.
All the arrangements worked perfectly, including the stopover in Lusaka and the efficient transfers by Tours Africa." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari
"Trip feedback"
Only slight frustration was the transfer arrangements from the Victoria Falls Hotel to Livingstone Airport. I appreciate that there is no benefit to the transfer operator in "cutting it fine" but it was entirely unnecessary to leave as early as the transfer operator wanted (even after the time was negotiated down). It was a shame (given the length of our trip) as an extra hour or so at VFH would have been much preferable to spending that time waiting at Livingstone airport.

"Another unforgettable trip to Botswana"
We visited different landscapes an environments, saw so many and different species including 3 times wild dogs, 11 different(!) leopards, lions, many and even rare antelopes, probably thousand elephants and finally a pangolin (not to forget about 120 different bird species in total !!!)
We met again so many friendly and helpful people and were happy to join celebrations of Day of Independence.
We will come back to Africa! This trip was our third one with Expert Africa and again everything worked perfect!
Many thanks to wonderful Megan who was so helpful in planing this trip with us and never got tired to answer all our (many!) questions.
Her organisation was perfect and we definitely will plan our next trip to Africa with this very special and knowledgeable agency again!
Thanks again and all the very best to all of you!!!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Botswana safari
"Trip to Selous and Ruaha September 2015"
We will definitely use Expert Africa again.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Dar Es Salaam airport is chaotic. It is very hot and it is not clear where to go. We did not realise we had to fill in departure forms and had to go back to the end of the queue. Perhaps Africa travel should advise people of this form and process to get through this airport.
My wife felt quite faint with the heat and jostling crowds. It took more than an hour to get through past all the passport control and security points. Perhaps we should have been warned of this." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"A month in 2015"
Wolwedans not worth the premium. Sossusvlei over-hyped.
Country excellent and the locals very helpful. Stunning scenery.
Africat / Okonjima, Etendeka and Skeleton Coast were highlights
Martha was a star. Shame she's not there any longer." Read full review: 30 nights in Africa; 27 on a Namibia trip
"Tanzania Honeymoon"
Azura was wonderful - see my review separately for that if you want more details. Expert Africa were great and did everything we could have asked for. I'm sure if you book at trip with Expert Africa, you can't fail to have a great time.
