Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I can't believe that a trip this complex went off without a hitch.

Expert Africa really knows their stuff and made great recommendations. Thanks, Tracy!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 4 on a South Africa trip

"The trip was a great trip marred at the end by a delayed flight however we only talk about the trip, the logistics, the teams ,the camps, the organisers and not the delay. It is a credit to all concerned that all the links, planes, pick ups etc worked like clockwork. The quality of accommodation, the customer focus and of course the country of Tanzania never ceases to amaze." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Well this was a trip of superlatives but there is a problem and they are aware of it, something I discussed over dinner with Grant Cummings the owner of Chiawa and Old Mondoro who was on a quick visit and a charming man. He is on the case!

The park has 6 Lodges but further down the river there are over 20 lodges all using the same park some travelling 90+ Kms to get through the gate as a result when on game drives you see lots of vehicles and 10 vehicles round a leopard at the price you are paying is not on! Gladly our guides agreed and as I have been lucky enough to have seen it all before we moved off and left the crowds to it.

So I would not return to Chongwe or Chiawa for that single reason although the Camps are superb.

So that leaves Old Mondoro further up the river the crowds do not get there, it is not as luxurious as the other two camps but you never see another vehicle apart from the other that belongs to the camp and that only happens when you have a good sighting and they radio each other so fine and great talking point over diner that night. Ryan and Pam who run the camp are a delight.

Its beauty is also in its intimacy only 4 tents and for me the best wildlife of all the 3 camps. Would I go back YES just have to save up! For anybody reading this and fancy it go for a week and book up soon they already have reservations for 2017! Loved it" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Trip was very well organised.

The documentation for the trip could have been sent earlier. Finally it was sent by E mail and I printed the material" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"The chosen camps were perfect for the time of the year and the size of our group.

I would highly recommend Expert Africa as a trip organizer. I especially appreciated the book about Botswana that sent out in plenty of time before the trip." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"I was very happy with my trip. The mobile safari and lodges I stayed at all exceeded my expectations. Even the airline flights all worked out perfectly (and with a total of 9 separate flights, I was a little concerned).

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really - everything went very well. I received the information, support, and planning I needed to make the trip a success. Can't wait for my next African adventure!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"See the short title. It was different, the places were great, and we were so well looked after.

Not really at this time. Thanks James." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Excellent. It was an intense experience that really did exceed our expectations; it was just like the documentaries and films that you have seen over the years. We saw everything we hoped to... and animals and birds that we never knew existed.

I'd like to mention our transfer driver, John, who looked after us between the 2 Nairobi airports. He took great pride in looking after us at all times as we asked to be taken on quite a few detours and his friendly attitude and "mother hen" nature really put us at our ease in what for us was a very different environment from anything we'd experienced before.

For the entire holiday it was strange, but good, to be able to mentally sit back and be completely managed by others, leaving us to enjoy the moment without having to worry about how to achieve the next steps." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"Your arrangements worked well. The contrast between our aid project in Milawi living in very basic conditions and Botwana was rather stark.

I think we would have been more comfortable in less luxury in Botswana but it was a good treat after Milawi - we could have done with 4 days not 6." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"An excellent, varied trip. The pace was just right.

One of our best trips, mainly due to the easy driving on tarred roads." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip
