"This was more than anything we could have dreamed or hoped for. Everything was very well organized, professional, and efficiently run by the various camp staffs.

Flight arrangements between the camps and the attention paid by guides and staff was outstanding. Awesome trip.

"Amazing experience. It is a great country with lovely people. The ideal first African experience.

We only wish we could have seen the Caprivi strip/push it to the Victoria falls instead of going back to Windhoek." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Great holiday, sorry to be home." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zimbabwe safari

"The Selous and Ruaha were wonderful destinations, we saw so much wildlife and animals were not as skittish as we expected.

The camps were both very good, we had a fantastic time at each. It was the fourth safari for my husband and myself and we loved it, and we had taken my nieces aged 12 and 14 for their first safari and they loved every single thing about it!

Thank you to Liz for organising it and suggesting the 2 camps, and a big thank you for sorting out our return flights after the Nairobi airport fire." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"This trip was everything we hoped for. It was efficiently arranged and all transfers went smoothly.

Any issues we had like inefficient airports, horrible flights and delayed luggage are outside your control.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Unless you can find a more direct route from Manchester to Zimbabwe, which I'm sure you can't, we have no complaints at all.

Thank you for a wonderful trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Really great.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Try to talk to namibian tourism about their government lodges. Let down by bad service and sullen behaviour, especially from office staff (mostly women) who seem put out when asked to do anything. maids, waiters, etc all fine.

Doro Nawas has some glitches, which we assume are the product of it being a joint venture with the locals. We would not go there again. It costs almost the same as Mowani and lacks something special. Needs attention." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Namibia trip

"another great holiday at RPS with wonderful frame, ever attentive staff at both camps and great organisation in UK and Zambia.
Thank you" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Having agonised about the cost, it was well worth it! The children had an amazing experience they've said they'll never forget. We think it worked well for us to have done the 'relaxing part' first so that we'd got over the flight and got into holiday mode, before we moved onto the safari which was tiring. We would have not appreciated the first day of safari if we'd gone straight there. I'd highly recommend Selous Impala camp.

We also felt we had excellent service from Expert Africa. We would be very happy to book with Expert Africa again.

The mix up of accommodation by Fumba was well handled by you, and in the end worked out better for us with an upgrade of room which we appreciated. We also appreciated your goodwill gesture of booking the Southern Sun for us to use prior to getting our night flight - the room there was excellent. Thank you."
