"Trip exceeded expectations which were high anyway. All arrangements worked. Accommodation was excellent.

We had some tyre issues early on which caused us some worry but people at lodges were very helpful and we were soon able to get on with enjoying our holiday.

We had to cancel this holiday last year at short notice and Chris McIntyre was very understanding and supportive especially with insurers. Thanks again to Chris and Sabina for their help and understanding.

WE HAD A BRILLIANT EXPERIENCE - THANK YOU ALL!!!!

Keep it up! We hope to travel with you again! We met other travellers who were similarly impressed with Expert Africa.

"We had a fantastic trip and were very happy with the advice given by Expert Africa and the way the trip was put together.
All the lodges and hotels were excellent.

All ground transfers and domestic flights worked really well (however, in DAR the car did not have functioning seat belts)
The information material provided was very useful.

We will definitely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and hope to travel with you again one day.

"This was one of the best trips we have ever taken, and we have traveled quite a bit around the world. Namibia was simply fantastic. The geology and animals were breathtaking, the people friendly and helpful, and the accomodations outstanding. We felt safe and relaxed, with every day an adventure in beauty.

I am a fairly critical person and usually can think of ways for service to improve, but the service we received from Saskia was nothing short of outstanding and I can't think of a way to improve . Saskia was incredibly knowledgeable and very quickly grasped the type of trip my husband and I were looking for. She tailored the trip to meet our needs.

She went above and beyond being very responsive to our questions, by proactively looking out for us -- alerting us when she thought a plane connection was too brief and identifying and resolving overcharges by budget rental car. She was always pleasant. The map she provided us was terrific -- clearly outlining our journey and highlighting the places we would stay, so we had no trouble finding them. We had not a single glitch in the trip. All the vouchers were provided and accepted. The information sheets for each place we were to stay were helpful.

If Saskia represents the spirit and effort of Expert Africa, we can say without reservation that it is a top notch organization. We would recommend it to others and would use Expert Africa services again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"We had a truly wonderful time. We loved everywhere we stayed and were grateful that we had been guided to just the kind of places we liked.

Quite a few of the people we met were 'old safari hands' and without exception, they said that we could not have chosen better places to visit for our first trip to Tanzania, to get a slice of the 'real' safari experience.

Probably one of the most efficient and easy holiday companies we have dealt with. We had left things to the very last minute and despite this, the team was unfazed and helpful.

Would definitely use Expert Africa again. Also competitively priced." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Thoroughly enjoyed all of it and by the end was remembering many of the dozens of birds , trees and plants from my old bush days. I especially enjoyed the walking and getting back to the smaller things in the bush and all the interactions.

Although expensive and by my standards very luxurious , I enjoyed being pampered !

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Very little to add as everything went swimmingly and everyone I dealt with was most pleasant and flexible. Only the delayed BA flight back , together with leaving behind most PACS luggage in Lusaka ( arrived 4 days later ) , was a negative factor but this is not your problem."

Bradt Guide THE best I've ever used!!" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"We would surely recommend this trip to KTP and Northern Cape. The Kgalagadi is definitely for those who already have some experience on wildlife and self-driving and are happy with what it comes and enjoy every inch of it (landscape, Flora and Fauna, from the smallest to the biggest). It really lets you feel little in this world.

We tried to be out of the main camps and thus, have been at all the wilderness camps and surely enjoy them all. The shops at the main camps offered actually more than we were expecting, like OTC medicines, tea, coffee, water and other drinks, biscuits and even some frozen meat (at Twee Rivieren they even had ice cream!).

Augrabies is more family friendly and thus less wild but with impressive landscapes.

This trip was another great experience in Africa and, as always and once again, expertly arranged by Expert Africa.
