Africa: Reviews from our travellers
Latest news: unedited reviews from Expert Africa's most recent travellers
"Namibia Trip Oct 2013"
We hired our car through a different company, but would definitely recommend paying the extra for a 2x4 car as this gives extra comfort and road clearance which gives more confidence when driving in Etosha and on some of the gravel roads.
I would certainly use Expert Africa again and recommend them to friends wanting to organise similar trips." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
"African Adventure"
The trip exceeded our expectations and thank you." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Fabulous First Safari"
One disappointment, and I'm not sure who knew what when, or if Expert Africa knew at all, was the added traffic flow caused by BBC filming in South Luangwa. They were given special permission to operate all hours of day and night, and when present at lion and leopard sightings their crew usually added 3-vehicles, making some of our sightings very congested. I had chosen the northern sector of the park, particularly for its lesser density. I know how much the publicity is good for the park, and the wildlife, I just selfishly wish it hadn't interfered with my own experience.
I had initially wanted to add Zambia to our proposed trip to Namibia and Botswana, but our trip was becoming far too long, so we opted to take a 'warm-up' instead. I'm glad we did, as we've opted to go with a private guide/vehicle during our second Africa visit. This will give us more say in what we see and how much time we spend where, something very important in obtaining good photographs.
Expert Africa's arrangements worked flawlessly. Thank you." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
"October 2013 trip"
Thankyou to Liz for suggesting all of these places to visit. We had the most perfect time for such a special occasion.
We would gladly recommend your company to any of our friends and family wishing to travel to Africa and wouldnt hestiate to also get in touch if we decided another holiday here." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Altogether the trip of a lifetime"
Everything from start to finish worked according to plan so many thanks to Expert Africa, and everyone thereafter who gave us a wonderful and memorable experience. We may not be in a position to repeat such a holiday but would recommend it to friends, family and anyone who asks.

"My Oct 2013 trip"
"My Oct 2013 trip"
Our itinerary was perfect and everything went like clockwork.
I believe this is our third African trip with you. Your company is very reliable with knowledgeable advisors offering trips that are competitively priced. We would not hesitate to travel with you to Africa a fourth time." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania 2013"
The airport at Dar is a little confusing - it may be worth telling people they have a a 'pre-check'security that isn't clear if you can take your water through. Once through, there is nothing much until you get past emigration! Take a good book. After emigration most shops will take dollars.
Great trip - all worked as planned. Moments we will never forget. I think that's the point :)" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari
