Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"It was a wonderfull trip, from the beginning to the End!

All has started with Claires kind assistance and support with travel Ideas and a wonderfully bespoked service from Expert Africa. Best Service from a Travel Agency ever experienced. The Trip to Zambia, South Luangwa was perfect and the Gameviewing absolutely top notch as all the Camps and Guides. Was very happy,, one of my best trips ever.

Will definately go to Africa again, and definately next year!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Met the objective of matching the excellent trip to Tanzania organised by Expert Africa in 2009.

From the first contact with Megan to arrival back at Heathrow, the trip was professionally organised, exciting and seamless.

We found that visiting South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi was important. Dry and brown versus wet and green. We would have missed out by only visiting one of the National Parks. Zambia was a revelation. It was VERY HOT, as predicted, but we managed and are happy that we chose the dry season.

Catching 5 Tiger fish (largest 10.5 lbs) was great fun. The quantity and quality of game sightings throughout was staggering." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"We started out at the White Sands Villas and Spa in Paje beach on Zanzibar which is beyond beautiful. It just opened in 2014 and the grounds are spectacular and the rooms are really small compounds with two buildings, a private pool and private garden that opens on to the beach. It was the perfect place to relax and get used to the time zone change.

Then off to the Selous game reserve for a week of safari. The reserve is amazing and had many different landscapes which made you feel like you were exploring a number of different reserves, rather than just one.

All our lodges were great and the whole trip went smoothly and according to plan. We would definitely visit here again!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was fantastic; all that was expected and more. We thoroughly enjoyed how well everything flowed on this trip and how seemless it was.

All the arrangements were timed perfectly and everyone knew who we were and where we were expected to be. This made for such an enjoyable trip.

We would highly recommend Expert Africa to anyone who has not been to Africa before, or just needs some assistance in planning a trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Fantastic holiday, but not happy about attitude of wilderness safaris when our Namibia Airline flight was cancelled. We informed them be e-mail at 6.30 am on that morning and think that the initial demand of £950.00 to continue our holiday schedule was totally unreasonable. We think they could have rearranged transport for us to continue on that day, within the timescale they had, we would like to say we were very impressed with the guides and staff at the lodges.

They were all extremely friendly and helpful and we were able to learn a little of Namibian culture. Also, the wildlife was amazing.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

"The trip was fantastic and a trip of a lifetime. We will have so many memories of the wildlife and Tanzania. Many thanks to Ellie for arranging the trip and giving guidance and recommendations as to the Camps and itinerary.

We should also like to recommend our guide Albert who we had for 8 days, who was very personable and extremely knowledgeable and made the trip so enjoyable.

We were probably slightly disappointed with Zanzibar as a place to visit and if we were arranging the trip again might go for the mainland coast or go for one of the other islands." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"A great trip. The plan to work westwards from the beach to Lake Tanganyika worked out really well.

"Simply put - we had the best time on safari ever and would use the service again without hesitation" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"Overall experience was excellent with the exception of the Zanzibar Coffee House and the Fishermen tour organization.

The tour mostlly functioned as a taxi-they were on time and pleasant but not helpful." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 4 on a Rwanda safari
