Cannot comment on the web site as I only refer to your brochure and telephone discussions with staff. I also have extensive knowledge of many of the areas we go to." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"The somewhat complex 3 week itinerary worked very well, and surprisingly, we experienced no delays. The combination of 1 week in Namibia and 2 weeks in Botswana, worked, as expected, very well, and Expert Africa did a very good job with all the arrangements.

The transfer from Lebala to Livingstone by plane, bus, speedboat, bus in around 3 hours was truly impressive. Botswana is not a cheap destination, and more suitable for the seasoned Africa travelers who have already experienced South Africa and East Africa, and who can also appreciate the smaller creatures on safari, as the big game density can be low at times.

But overall our trip exceeded our expectations with Lagoon camp and Sossus Dune Camp being some of the high lights. The private guide we had in Namibia was exceptionally good, his name was Sebastiaan." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"Despite some of the slightly negative criticisms on the earlier pages we had an excellent holiday. All connections etc worked well, we saw loads of game and birds - which was why we went.

I believe we picked the right game parks - plenty of game but fewer people, which, again, was what we wanted.

Thanks to Expert Africa for helping to make it happen!

Can't think of anything. We were pleased with the service and information provided.

I've mentioned it before, and I wouldn't want to give the impression that these detracted signicantly from our enjoyment but tetses in Mdonya and the non-availability of walking safaris in Mdonya were slight "hiccups".

Thanks to Liz for all your help." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

You should offer more extensive travel to other parts of South Africa, because that's what we would like to do next, going on to Mozambique." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 5 on a South Africa trip

"Ellie's suggestion that we begin the trip I had proposed with a 3-day stay at Impala Camp was "spot on." Our flight arrangements could not have been better; transfers between camps were seamless.

Expert Africa prepared us well for our first safari - there were no unpleasant surprises!

"We knew it would be a good trip but it was all we hoped for and more. All went very smoothly and the highlight was definately Okonjima.

We would have no hesitation in using Expert Africa again, or in recommending you to others.

We took torches with us but I'm not sure this was emphased in your info. They were very useful and we would have struggled at times without them." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Wonderful trip, nice combination of wild life, beach and culture. The trip organization was perfect and everything worked out very smoothly.

I will not hesitate to book another trip with Expert Africa and I will highly recommend them to my friends.

"As ever a wonderfull trip, would like to explore more of Mozambique on the mainland next time! Good hosts and excellent accomodation and game viewing." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"We really enjoyed the trip - Our fourth visit to Africa and we wondered beforehand whether it could match previous trips - It certainly did.

The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.

Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Zambia, after its recent elections seems to be heading in the right direction, generally. It can only be hoped that the national park/game reserves can be maintained by the right people and in the right way. Zimbabwe is not an option on principle while the beautiful people there continue to suffer.

Zambia- the South Luangwa valley is one of(certainly my favourite) game reserves in Africa. NormanCarr safaris have the best guides and the combinations of different bush camps give one the best experiences of safari in Africa.

Thank you to everyone associated with NormanCarr safaris." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
