Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"This was the best safari we have done, the choice of camps and their location we ideal. I took your advice and was 100% satisfied.

I am well aware that I do not suffer fools gladly and it is a chance one has to take on this type of holiday; the camp staff were very understanding and accommodated us to the best of their abilities.

I will ask you to suggest another holiday for us next year with a few stipulations: luxury, great guides, near a river (we like the option of boat trips for birdwatching) and NO COMMUNAL DINING. Many thanks for a memorable trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"I can't believe we didn't do it sooner. The trip of a lifetime!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"We have had the good fortune of having a lifetime of travel adventures to over 100 countries spread over every continent. Among those many trips our experience in Namibia with Expert Africa stands out as one of the very best.

Of course a lot of that is because the country of Namibia has so much to offer. It is probably the safest and easiest country on the continent for independent travel. It also helps that it has a lot of very dramatic scenery and fascinating people and wildlife. But Expert Africa also played a large role in making this trip memorable. They know Namibia very well and booked us into the best lodges in the best regions of the country.

Because of Expert Africa everything went very smoothly on our trip. I recommend them without any reservation.

"It was an excellent trip in every way. Everything went smoothly without a single hitch. Everywhere we went we were met by the most charming, friendly and professional staff (less so at Onguma, but while it was disappointing it didn't spoil our overall enjoyment). Of course we loved the landscape, especially Damaraland, and the game, but it is always the people, the staff, who make your trip and your stay memorable. It's been sixteen years since we were last in Namibia and I can't wait to go again. Loved it.

( Just an aside, and I don't want to seem to be going on about it too much, but Onguma Tented Camp promised so much and delivered so little, especially compared to the others. We got the impression that all the Wilderness Safari camps/lodges were very well managed and the staff seemed happy in their job, which is always something positive and pleasing when you come across it. )" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Great trip and thank you very much for the organization. We had an excellent time and thought that Chitable & Little Vumbura complemented each other very nice as two slightly different camps. All the transfers were very smooth and perfectly organized, including the border crossing Botswana/Zimbabwe. 2x 3 nights in the camps was also a good length of time.

As for Victoria Falls, would suggest recommending Victoria Falls Hotel to people. There was nothing wrong with Ilala Lodge, but Vic Falls Hotel does seem better located and a nicer place to relax given the pool area is so much nicer.

Many thanks again Nick for the great assistance with planning our trip." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Very good. No problems. Would have to think a long time to come up with even one negative." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa;

"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Cape Town was lovely, great accommodation, good restaurants, lovely trips, friendly people. It is an easy town to get around. We hired a car for two days too.

Vic Falls - enjoyed it except for the builidng works at Ilala Lodge. Also whilst walking around Vic Falls you do get hassled by young men selling souvenirs which is a nuisance and put us off walking around the town. We were advised it used to much worse.

Camp Hwange - fantastic, so many memories.

Claire organised it so well, there were no problems. Cars always turned up on time. Check-in at hotels efficient.

Overall, we loved the trip and choice of accommodation." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zimbabwe safari
