"My Jun 2012 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 1 Jun 2012 and 21 Jun 2012
"It was one of the most memorable holidays we have had. Everything was in line with or better than expectations. I think the key to Expert Africa's success is knowing about all the country's facilities firsthand, and then taking care to understand what the client really wants from the holiday. Because this happened, we had no unpleasant surprises, and may pleasant ones.

The balance of time we spent in each place was perfect, and therefore gave us a wide range of experiences in the time available.

The car hire was a success. I think for the gravel roads, the Nissan X-trail is a must, rather than a saloon, and people should be encouraged to take one. The Budget car we had was not provided with a second spare wheel, as had been booked. The manager was apologetic, but said the wheel he intended to supply was damaged. He then rightly said (as it turned out) that with it being the dry season, with no potholes, and with sensible driving, we should have no problem. In fact we had no tyre problems at all. I think in the dry season a second wheel is perhaps overcautious. Very comfortable car, with plenty of space for both people and luggage.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Hard to think of anything. Just keep visiting places, listen to feedback and ensure you understand what is important for the client (even if he doesn't know himself!)" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"My Jun 2012 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 1 Jun 2012 and 8 Jun 2012
"The trip overall was amazing, we saw a lot of Tanzania in just 6 days and really loved the country, the people, the landscapes and places we visited, the wildlife - so much so that we want to go back.

Claire was very helpful in putting this trip together, and it was super well organised all the way through - absolutely everything went to plan, and we felt throughout that we were in very good hands.

We had already been to Namibia with Expert Africa in 2007 and given this Tanzania trip was another very positive experience, we would definitely contact Expert Africa again to organise our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

I visited Tanzania between 31 May 2012 and 10 Jun 2012
"Overall an excellent trip

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I would like to see the website/brochure with a bit more information on pricing- at least guideline prices. Also information on special offers eg "stay 4-pay 3". As a solo traveller, information on single supplements and ideas for trips with low or no single supplements would be much appreciated." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Namibia exceeded our expectations. Wonderful scenery and wildlife.

Wilderness safaris were efficient in notifiying me of the change of itinerary after the fire at Camp Kipwe" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2012 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 31 May 2012 and 14 Jun 2012
"My experience with Expert Africa was completely positive. Everything on the trip happened on-time and as-promised. The camps and hotels that I used were likewise accurately represented in every way, so there were again no surprises. The communication in planning the trip was really excellent and extremely helpful. I would recommend Expert Africa to any traveller to Tanzania.

I chose to make my trip early in the season (arriving around June1). I knew that the game viewing would potentially be better later in the season when more of the water sources had dried up, but wanted to travel before the dry season became too advanced and everything really dried out. My assessment proved correct, but I have no real regrets about the timing of my trip.

However, most of the camps were just opening, with various "start-up" issues (changing staff, finding where the animals were hanging out, etc.) and animals would likely have been better acclimated to the vehicles in another week or so. A week later might thus have been better timing for the trip, but hardly a major issue." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Maybe our last safari"

I visited Zambia between 30 May 2012 and 18 Jun 2012
"Having visited everywhere before you often wonder if things will change and not be as you remember them.
Well this did not happen and our memories once again have only been reinforced by this visit. The lure of Africa remains embedded in our blood and the sights and smells, sun rises and sunsets will never fade.This may be our last safari but you can never be certain.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Having used Expert Africa a number of times over the years we have never been able to criticize their service and thus do not have any suggestions to make." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"Great trip. Pretty much faultless"

I visited Zimbabwe between 29 May 2012 and 4 Jun 2012
"Loved the trip. Reminded me how much I like Hwange which was looking great and almost empty of other people (which was lovely for us but not so good for the Zimbabwe economy). Loved the flexibility and guiding at Camp Hwange and plan to return and perhaps do some more walking too.
