I visited Namibia between 5 Oct 2011 and 23 Oct 2011
"Overall the trip went very well, some places we enjoyed more than others but that is to be expected. We did feel that we should have been encouraged more to take a 4x4, as we did find that we had to drive quite carefully, which added to the journey times and it would have been more comfortable and less tiring on the gravel/sand roads.

Although we do not have any mobility problems, I do think advise should be given about the unfriendly approach and general uneven terrain at Doro Nawas." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Excellent first trip to Africa"

I visited Malawi between 4 Oct 2011 and 12 Oct 2011
"This first trip for us to Africa was wonderful.

The recommendations from Expert Africa were great and nothing was too much trouble for them. We have an amazing safari and a great experience overall. We will be returning and will use Expert Africa to get us there!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We were entirely satisfied with the service and recommendations from Expert Africa. It really felt that nothing was too much trouble.

We will use you again." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Malawi trip

"A great return to Zimbabwe"

I visited Zimbabwe between 3 Oct 2011 and 14 Oct 2011
"The political situation in Zimbabwe had kept us away from the country for 11 years, but after conferring with Expert Africa, now seemed the right time to go back.

On our previous visits, we loved the country and the people and had amazing wildlife encounters. We therefore had a certain fear that this viist would not live up to our previous experiences. Happily, these fears proved unfounded and we had one of our best trips ever to Africa.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

None. We have been very happy with Expert Africa for a number of years now and this is also reflected in what the camp owners and managers tell us about their experiences with you." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"An unforgettable and great experience"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2011 and 20 Oct 2011
"We highly recommend a trip with Expert Africa to Botswana.

The whole experience was fantastic and we have no negative comments to make on anything we did. The planning and arrangements for the trip went smoothly and we were very happy with the mix of camps we visited and the varied scenary.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

This was our second trip with Expert Africa and we can't wait to go again. Both the trip organisation/execution and the service was exemplary." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 3 Oct 2011 and 23 Oct 2011
"We really enjoyed our trip and all aspects (except those listed in the box below) went smoothly. The folder that contained all the vouchers and key information together was useful.

With hindsight we should have booked accommodation with AC throughout the trip because if you go out early it is valuable to have somewhere cool enough to rest in the heat of the day before going out again in the afternoon. We probably should have worked this out for ourselves but I hadn't expected to want to be in much at midday and had not appreciated how hot tents can get!

We would definitely recommend Namibia at this time of year to any wildlife enthusiasts and your advice helped us to make the most of it." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Self drive in Namibia"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 2 Oct 2011 and 18 Oct 2011
"We had a wonderful trip. We got what we came for, a lot of wild animals, great nature and an exciting holiday.

A beautiful country with friendly people. It was very easy driving on good roads and no problems occured.

We are very excited and will certainly make another trip in the future.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

When we entered Etosha, we saw that big areas were burnt down. This probably affected the wildlife, and we would want to have some info about these conditions in forehand, if possible of course." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Excellent safari and many memorable moments"

I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 2 Oct 2011 and 12 Oct 2011
"When the game is as good as it was in Hwange, the waterhole at Kanga so enthralling, the scenery at Mana Pools so beautiful and the company so much fun it's easy to forget the negatives.

In overall terms we had a really good time." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Overall Satisfaction"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 2 Oct 2011 and 20 Oct 2011
"The only reason for the rating of Fairly Satisfactory is the flights on SAA and the problem with Mack Air aircraft, otherwise everything was very satisfactory indeed.

Not really; we will be happy to use the Company again when the time comes." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Seychelles the islands of rain."

I visited Seychelles between 30 Sep 2011 and 9 Oct 2011
"The poor weather was a problem... rain every day and three days constant rain.

On arrival we were asked to exchange our Expert Africa vouchers for Mason vouchers. Checking these after an overnight flight was difficult but Their vouchers were incorrect. It was a considerable problem to find the first hotel voucher from Mason's was for bed and breakfast and they were not able to sort this out untill after the weekend. it caused considerable problem with the hotel.

Though there was a Masons representative at each point of travel their main interest was to collect vouchers. They came across as complacent and at times rude. Having a voucher for a transfer of two hundred yards from the jetty to hotel in la Digue underlied the farce of it all.

The transfer from Praslin airport to the hotel could have been ten minutes. We were made to wait some forty five minutes and then the bus did a tour of the island dropping off different guests at different hotels.

There was no one to meet us on arrival at mahe. It was in the middle of a storm and the jetty has no shelter. Cases are just stacked up to get soaked in the rain. It was more like local bus travel in Africa.

Overall we felt the Seychelles was an over rated destination.... one or two fabulous beaches but little more. We felt it was inappropriately expensive. Most local people were not friendly. Indeed it was a revelation that workers from Mauritius or Nepal were the most helpful and welcoming.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I went on the visit Uganda after Mahe. You need to seriously consider expanding their. The people are realy welcoming, facilites well above average. The scenery is stunning and the game has very substantialy recovered." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 3 on a Seychelles holiday
