"We enjoyed our trip immensely." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"One we will always remember for the right reasons.

Come back full of different knowledge and experience. When people say oh now you are back you feel like you have never been away I can truly say, I've been away." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Claire at Expert Africa once again helped us make the arrangements for our trip and as usual everything was 'spot on'. We continue to be very impressed by the level of service that Expert Africa consistently provides to travellers.

We were particularly impressed with the service provided by Tours Africa who met us at Lusaka Airport and provided road transfers to and from our first hotel to the airport. They were always very punctual and were extremely helpful to us, going above and beyond the usual to re-connect us with our lost luggage and guiding us through immigration and passport control.

Tafika remains our favourite camp in South Luangwa. This area of South Luangwa is stunningly beautiful and very special. The Remote Africa Safari's team are very good at sharing this special place, everything is well organised and managed and they always leave you just desperate to return! We were particularly touched by the efforts that the whole team went to, to provide us with a special sundowner (champagne and the works!) to mark a special birthday and recent retirement.

We can't think of anything that would improve things, the service is about as good as it gets." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"All the paperwork supplied by Expert Africa ensured a smooth and relatively untroubled journey.

Many people contributed to the enjoyment of our holiday, for example it was very helpful to be met by Jacob from Robin Pope Safaris, on arrival in Lusaka. He obtained our visas, helped us to complete the Lost Baggage form and stayed with us until check-in for the Pro-flight part of our journey; this is very reassuring in a potentially stressful situation.

The trip exceeded our expectations and was memorable in many ways, leaving us with happy thoughts of returning.

"An amazing trip, made memorable by staying at Chole Mjini.

Very impressed by Expert Africa, without whom we'd never have discovered Chole Mjini - such a magical place.

Diving was great and as the non-diver I was very well entertained at both Chole and Pole Pole by their daily dhow trips.

"We very much appreciated being helped by travel agents who have intimate knowledge of the regions they are supporting. Thank you to Ellie for her always good advice on picking locations for the family and having a good sense on when, where and for how long to travel.

It is amazing how all the pieces nicely worked together without us having to inquire." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Claire was amazing to work with. She was very responsive to my emails despite being on a different continent & was also available for calls to answer my questions. I felt like she really listened to what we wanted & provided her honest opinion on some of my suggestions & also gave us the pros & cons of various itineraries or lodges & as a result, she put together the perfect trip for us.

Our trip was everything we expected...and more. This trip was for my husband's 40th birthday & she must have let all the lodges know because they all did something special for him. It really made the whole experience extra special for him.

Our entire trip was flawless - from the pickup at Livingstone airport to drop off at Likoma's tiny airport for our journey back to the States. Thank you so much, Claire & Expert Africa, for putting together a trip we will remember forever.

We have zero criticism or constructive feedback - everything was flawless from beginning to end!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"A really good trip.

Very glad we spent more time at the beach than Stone Town though. Great to have visited Zanzibar and i would certainly recommend the island - but some travellers might find the poverty in Stone Town a little surprising at first.

Would certainly return - though would want to visit Pemba and get to some of the more remote beaches." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was a real African adventure. The accommodation was excellent, the camps were all well run and respected the animals and kept the travellers safe. The transfers were very well co-ordinated and amidst the backdrop of the chaos of Africa everything ran really smoothly.

We saw 3 of the "Big 5" which was a little disappointing but I guess that just gives us an excuse to come back to see the rhino and leopards. There was also quite a bit of overlap between the game activities offered by the Zambezi Queen and the Muchenje camp.

I was very happy with my trip.
