Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I found Expert Africa a very reasuring company to use.

Having got a white water rafting trip arranged, I wanted to extend my trip to include a safari. After speaking with both Claire and Nick, they recommended going to Hwange and trying 2 different camps in different areas of the park. They also arranged my flights out to Southern Africa and the transfers from the end of my rafting trip to the start of the safari section of my trip.

In fact, the whole trip ran very smoothly and I was very pleased with all the help and advice I was given and the way the trip proceeded." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We normally try to avoid late October because of the heat but I'm really glad we made the trip at this time of year. Game viewing was simply excellent and I was surprised how few others were travelling.

It was very hot but the camps had fans and the heat was manageable." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari

"A great experience, most enjoyable.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Our only comment would be that in your brochure, trip examples and prices seem to be top end and expensive, which could easily stop potential clients actually contacting you. Some mid range price examples might be a good idea.

We almost did not contact you in the first instance as we thought you would be too expensive, when in fact you are very competitive.

We were very pleased with the help and knowledge we received from Tracy, and hope to travel with Expert Africa again in the future." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"Namibia is a beautiful country which deserves to be visited by more British tourists.

Our trip exceeded our high expectations and Expert Africa were extremely helpful when we were fine tuning our itinerary and were very professional in the way they dealt with a problem we had at Hoodia. We hope that you will take our comments about Sinclair Guest Farm on board.

Thank you for helping to make our trip so memorable." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"We had a very good, varied trip. The Lodges were excellent for our purposes, welcoming, friendly, good quality but not too ostentatious.

Sabina dealt with all the arrangements very well and efficiently especially as Pat decided to join us after we had booked which meant checking everythng again. Thank you" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"It all worked superbly. Putting that sequence of elements together is bound to add up cost wise, but absolutely everything I asked for was organised, and all the bits added together remarkably efficiently. James was quite right that finishing with the beach rather than the safari was a better sequence." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Expert Africa's arrangements worked very well for us; faultless. It was our first time to use them and we would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.

The push for tour 2014 trip to Tanzania was to revisit some of the lands that we had driven through in 1971 with our 2-man tent. Most of the guides were not born when we first made the journey and they were interested in our experiences in another time.

"A great holiday overall - thank you Tracy.

The V+A,Avondrood and The Plettenberg were all very good,Tsitsikamma was fine ,De Hoop merited a shorter visit with better accommodation and no food issues !" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a South Africa trip

"My first venture into the North park was special and very private. South Luangwa never let's me down and the safari experience seems to get better every time.

Both NCS and RemoteAfrica provide the highest level of comfort and guiding and everyone should be proud of what they have achieved in provided this grand level of friendly service. Special thanks also to Mindy, very professional in every aspect in the daily running at NCS.

South Luangwa still my favourite game reserve/national park in Africa and one of my favourite places to visit in the world.
Thanks again to Ellie and all at ExpertAfrica.
