Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The trip was fantastic and I will remember for the rest of my life. Good fun, good company and GREAT accommodations and service.

I would recommend anyone who ever gets a chance to go on the trip because it was fantastic." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Everything worked seamlessly.

One problem:

The telephone numbers we were given in Harare to contact the air charter to check flight time were either "no incoming calls answered" or unobtainable. Our cousin knew a private lodge operator in Mana, contacted his business partner in Harare who knew the air charter person whom we contacted. She took our details and in fact contacted the lodge to ask them to convey an earlier flight time to us which they did by sending a vehicle to find us and tell us."

"We had a wonderful honeymoon - Tanzania provided the perfect destination and we were very happy with our itinerary, which was a perfect mix of safari and beach.

All our accommodation was luxurious, but Sand Rivers stood out as exceptional." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Thank you Expert Africa for an excellent service and advice we will be booking again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a great holiday and were happy with all our accommodation choices.....we made small suggestions for improvements but had no cause for complaints.

On reflection we might have changed the length of stays towards the end of the trip e.g. an extra day near Victoria Falls and one day less in Hwange N.P. in Zimbabwe. We very much appreciated the advice provided during the planning of our holiday and the information and service given during this process. The brochure and the travel documents supplied were comprehensive and helpful.

We would certainly consider planning/booking another trip with Expert Africa based on our first experience of the company." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Every penny spent, every minute/hours spent in airports/plane was worth it to be able to experience the sights, sounds, people, animals, and geography of Rwanda and Tanzania. Maruska was so excellent in how she guided us through the details of our trip. Just by chance I chose Expert Africa online and am so glad I did.

"Can be summed up in one word. WOW. That said we have to give a mention to Megan who, from the start, offered advice from her personal experience. Megan took on board all of our requirements and put together a perfect package for us. It was beyond our expectations. We would be grateful if you could pass on our heartfelt thanks to all at Kwando Safari's." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Excellent trip. I was very pleased with Expert Africa and Maruska; she was very responsive, enthusiastic and accessible via phone & email. All the logistics went smoothly. I will strongly recommend Expert Africa to friends, as well as in internet travel forums." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"It was problem free from beginning to end and different from anything else we have done in Southern Africa before so achieved our aim.

It was good to be able to leave some bags in the Wilderness Safari office in Windhoek, where we received a great welcome and good service." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Overall, an excellent trip planned by Liz. She was very helpful and responsive throughout the whole planning process. I would definitely recommend her and the agency in the future to friends and family.

We loved all 3 main lodges that we stayed in, and it's difficult to comment which one was our favourite since they were all very different experiences. The highlights were our game drives, the incredibly friendly and helpful staff, and the wedding anniversary treats throughout our stays as detailed further throughout this survey.

The only other feedback is that I don't believe we were informed that we had to pay airport exit fees of USD 34 per person at Kigali. We luckily had cash but this came out of the tips pot resulting in us having to use a credit card to pay a tip later on." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
