Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"As someone who has travelled for many years I am a late comer to Kenya and I now regret all those missed opportunities. I first went to Kicheche Mara Camp 15 months ago and loved it so was determined to return. I did so with some trepidation in case I was disappointed but I need not have worried. The whole holiday exceeded our expectations.

The Kicheche Camps are well managed and in beautiful settings with amazing wildlife. They tick the box if you are wanting to stay in comfortable, small, traditional bush camps governed by sound ecological principles.

I have visited many countries to see wildlife and the Masai Mara ranks number one as far as I am concerned. I can understand why Kenya and Kicheche Camps get so many repeat visitors and I will be one them." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"Our trip was everything that we had hoped for and more!

We saw animals that we had never seen before, met some great people and stayed in some wonderful locations. We cannot wait to go back.

Thank you Megan for helping us to plan the trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"We've been to Africa 10 times now and this was my third trip to Botswana. Amazing experience overall.

Great accommodations, great people and the best wildlife viewing in Africa, if you like more natural and wild environment." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"Another wonderful holiday in Namibia and Botswana visiting some old favourites and some new ones that will probably become old favourites now.

Everything went smoothly from the arrival of the brochure to our arrival in Namibia and our return home.
Sabina organised an excellent trip for us - was that Sabina that we met at Doro Nawas? we thought it was but perhaps were wrong.

Nothing can replace the absolute peace we feel either looking at the stars or sitting round a waterhole late at night . The long empty roads are a joy to drive and arriving at such magical destinations incomparable. We feel that we had several holidays all rolled in to one - a couple by the river, in Etosha, at wonderful Doro Nawas, the seaside, and then Sossusvlei.

Just one amazing adventure.

"What a fantastic trip!

Expert Africa, and particularly my primary contact there, Megan, were patient and extremely helpful in putting together this itinerary. I spoke with Megan many times over the phone regarding the trip and she was always a pleasure to work with.

I will not hesitate to work with Expert Africa for my upcoming trips to Africa, and would HIGHLY recommend their services!" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 on a Zambia safari

"This was a trip we've been thinking about for 15 years, but when it finally came time to pull the trigger, I honestly didn't know where to start.

James was outstanding from the very beginning — helping me to shape the trip and offering some great suggestions on when and where to go. He was super patient with all my questions along the way, and we always felt like we were in the best hands." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"Really enjoyed it but you need to stress how cold Hwange gets 1100m up." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our group of seven ran out of superlatives to describe our days early on in the trip - so we just resorted to repeating them!

Everything ran like clockwork, and I don't think there is a thing that, in retrospect, we would have done differently.

Thank you Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Once in a lifetime trip! Botswana was beautiful, people were friendly, and game viewing was out of this world. We saw more animals than we ever thought we would see. The private game reserves are worth the extra cost because you can get closer to the animals. The guides were extremely knowledgable and taught us a lot. Tracking skills were outstanding. The lodges were all beautiful and great with conservation efforts. There were only a few kinks in our trip. Kwara camp staff were lacking people skills and clearly weren't happy to be there. Also, on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls we were harassed by some local street sellers and threatened. Though everyone else in Zimbabwe were very friendly so we didn't let this ruin our experience. I would recommend local guides or tourism police for going out in public next time. Overall this trip was outstanding, we are already talking about going back some day!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"How do we even begin?! As our very first experience of Africa this was an absolutely incredible trip. The camps we stayed at were fantastic, we saw everything we came to see (and more!) and the Delta is an even more stunning location that we could have imagined.

The logistics around the whole operation were seamless - we didn't have to worry about a single element of transport as it was all expertly taken care of. We felt very looked after and ultimately very relaxed!

In all, there is nothing here that we could have reasonably asked for to make this trip any better. Thank you guys for a truly memorable trip. We look forward to booking with you again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
