Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We were extremely pleased with our holiday and really recommend Zambia as a safari destination. The locals were very friendly, the game viewing was varied and exciting, and the 3 camps we visited (Kaingo, Mwamba and Old Mondoro) really complimented one another.

We were glad we experienced 2 national parks, as South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi offer completely different landscapes. We saw perhaps more game in South Luangwa but there was the added bonus of water activities in Lower Zambezi.

Everything was well organised and worked out very smoothly." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Didn't expect to enjoy the beach/town as much as the game lodge but there was really little to choose between them - had a great time on all three legs. Arrangements were all pretty spot on. Excellent game viewing in the Selous and lovely to have the boat option; beautiful Indian Ocean setting and chilling at Shooting Star and a much needed bit of shopping in Stone Town! Fell in love with Africa all over again!

Special thanks to Angela for all her help with the arrangements - excellent service - will probably be a few years before we return to Africa, but you will be our first port of call." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"The pleasure of this trip began with Elizabeth Wollens help at Expert Africa planning it.
And it just went on from there.

I dont really feel able to express the extent of the gratitude I feel for all that we encountered at every stage and for the individuals involved.

Talking of the people, theres not yet been the space to specifially mention Kassim of Eco + Culture with whom we spent 3 days on various outings, something so memorable, both as the experience of getting to know such a fine person and for the conversations we had and the time together.

Amongst other things, this helped me digest experiencing a visit to E. Africa 50 years after the childhood Id had there.

And it was simply yet another thing that made the fine time wed already been having even more so.

Im afraid Im probably boring in having nothing more to add about any of this.

The only way I can imagine your improving things would be through being able to satisfy others as much as you have me.

Id like to include you all at Expert Africa in this because I fully realise that Liz could not have been the way I experienced her without your all being so too THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH INDEED." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

Would never have recieved this feedback form had I not chased it up and I was keen to give feedback because it helps other travellers etc. Very easy to fill in.

Think I would like to make a comment about all the various vouchers that are issued. Nobody asked for them at all except the Illala lodge and even then we only had one between us because one had been lost,but it didnt seem to matter. It all seems a bit of a waste of paper and something else for the client to carry (or loose!)." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"A great trip, very varied & we feel that we've seen as much of Namibia as we could have done in the time available.

Advice re itinerary, locations & alternatives (after the fire) were innovative & faultless.

Only suggestion we'd make is to stress the importance of getting the correct electrical adaptors (our "alleged" international one didn't work) in your pre holiday paperwork.. Thank you." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"A very memorable trip to Tanzania, with the classic combination of safari and beach.

Everyone should try it once in a lifetime, and we will be back!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a fabulous adventure in Zambia - we feel that Expert Africa's organisation and attention to detail made the logistics a breeze.

The camps we chose more than met our expectations in terms of location, comfort and facilities. The guiding was, without exception, superb - not just the spotting but the sharing of experience and the clear passion all the guides had for their job.

This must surely be one of our very best holiday experiences and makes us wish for further safari adventures ... just hard to chose our next destination as we are sorely tempted to return.

Not really - it's your area of expertise and your business and this experience of EA tells us that you've got it cracked for travellers like us!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"One plans a trip to a new country with a little trepidation thinking that some part of it may not live up to one's expectations. On this trip with the excellent assistance of Gwyn at Expert Africa everything lived up to and exceeded those expectations. A fabulous trip to a fabulous country.
