Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"A most enjoyable holiday. The highlights were Rovos, Vic Falls in full flow and the Chobe National Park." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 13 on a South Africa trip

"Re car hire with Budget; they no longer require copy passport or drivers licence. In addition the CT office is not familiar with the form at at the back of your handbook to be signed by them on the return of the car. I think it is essential and they need to be encouraged to get used to this practise.

"We enjoyed all of it! The only complaint we have is that there were too long waiting times at the airports! This can be avoided.

A minor thing is also that on departure to Mfuwe staff at the airport thought we had arrived on the BA flight the same morning, so the lesson is improve communication!" Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zambia safari

"The standard of attention to detail, notes, directions, maps etc. second to none.

Saskia was exceptional form her phone manner, follow up and attention to detail and providing advice and support. Nothing but brilliant. We loved the whole experience and will certainly be in touch with you guys again for another African experience. Thank you.

"We visited in February and felt as if we had the Serengeti all to ourselves. It was the wildebeest calving season in the southern Serengeti which attracts several tourists. We saw plenty of calves but very few other tourists because of Ubuntu's location and the northern Serengeti was virtually deserted by visitors but full of "normal" resident wildlife.

Rubondo was the perfect ending - an unspoilt island with a new chimp tracking project. Serengeti and Rubondo together were a great combination." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"This was one of our best holidays as a result of a tremendous effort by Sabina who made sure it was tailored for us in every way.

She is a valuable asset to the company.

"This was a real great trip. Thanks to the advice of Claire, we were in the right area in the right season to see birds and animals while being able to see a bit of green in Africa (we had always gone in Africa in dry season before).

I would nevertheless make a suggestion: Siwandu is such a wonderful place that you should always end the trip by staying there. We stayed first in Siwandu and second in Impala and I’m afraid Impala couldn’t meet the comparison with Siwandu (though Impala was globally OK)."

"I think this was the most amazing vacation I've taken in the past decade.

Expert Africa made what would have been a complicated mess of arrangements on my part into an easy process where everything was taken care of from the moment I landed til the moment I left Tanzania." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"This trip definitely exceeded our already high expectations. We'd been to Tanzania once before but to the much quieter southern parks. I was expecting thee northern parks to be much more touristy and crowded than they actually were. This is my 9the trip on safari to Africa and thee 1st one that I've ever seen the great 5 on one trip! The bird spotting was excellent too.

What really made it for me though was the people we met. All the staff were incredible and especially so to my elderly mother, who they were just so kind and respectful to. Special thanks must go to our guide, Martin, who was both a fantastic driver as well as guide and just a really nice person. We spent a lot of time with him, so it was great to come away feeling that we'd parted as friends and if we ever go back would definitely request him again.

All of the camps were great and for different reasons - I'm glad we had a variety too as we had a different perspective at each place which were unique in their own ways.
