Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Our trip was everything we had hoped for and more. We wanted an exceptional holiday to celebrate various milestone birthdays in our family and to enjoy possibly our last family holiday (eldest children 18 and 21).

This holiday provided something for everyone, busy week safari followed by relaxing week on the coast. Perfect exceptional and memorable holiday." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We couldn’t thank Richard enough for organizing such a wonderfully planned trip. Our first time to Africa, on our first Safari and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience and service thank you.

Richard managed our expectations of our honeymoon incredibly well, working with our wish list, budget and his experience to suggest the best trip. He also listened to us as a couple and our personalities to understand what we were looking for in the trip and tailor making it to us. Richard was a pleasure to communicate with on the phone and email, always available for support throughout the process from questions about luggage to plugs.. I felt I was able to ask every kind of question and wouldn’t feel silly for asking it! The information packs we received were really helpful, especially around tipping and vaccinations, the travel pack now acts as a handy travel wallet for the future too!

The recommendations we took from Richard were absolutely spot on for us, especially the communication to the lodges that we were on our honeymoon so we had some private dining, champagne gifts and more importantly memories to last a life time!

We would recommend using Expert Africa and Richard’s advice for a bespoke, well trusted service" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We have done many long haul trips and we've been to some amazing countries, but this holiday was the best of the lot!

Sabina had made the perfect itinerary for what we wanted and I would hardly have changed anything - just one extra day at Corona Guest Farm would have been good. There were a few highlights - a hot air balloon trip over the desert with a champagne breakfast whilst at the beautiful Kulala Desert Lodge/ Corona Guest Farm as an overall wonderful stay and. of course, the privilege of staying with Arno and Estelle at Nhoma and experiencing the lives of the Bushmen."

"The trip as a whole was good. All arrangements were perfect and the camps with staff was very nice. The thing we weren't 100% satisfied with was the wildlife. This may be because we have already experienced a lot on previous safaris, also in places that are less commercial and visited than for example the Serengeti and the Masai Mara.

Lake Manze was much better for us than the Impala camp. We liked the rustic camp a lot, and the scenery and wildlife sightings was overall much better." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We loved our time in Namibia-the variety in what we saw and experienced, the people we met.....we had hoped for a holiday of a lifetime and we got it!!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We didn't have a price breakdown of each accommodation. I'm still undecided if this would have would have been helpful or not......it may have been interesting to compare places, and may have affected feedback, as value for money is another factor."

"We would go back to Waterberry and the Ichobezi and do exactly the same things again - one of our best ever holidays. Thank you Tracy for your expertise and for getting us the best rooms! and thank you to Chris for recommending Le Duc.

If we go back to Africa we will of course book it thru you." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
