"My Nov 2012 trip"

I visited Botswana between 1 Nov 2012 and 6 Nov 2012
"Unfortunately our experience at Kanana with our guide rather spoilt our time there and we had to complain. The manager was going to sort out but it was too late for us.

It was good to be able to fly direct from the Cape to Maun and Air Botswana were good apart from one delay of over an hour, but that's air travel!" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"Let's do it again !!!"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 30 Oct 2012 and 7 Nov 2012
"We cannot wait to embark on a second safari soonest possible. We would most definitely like to have an experience similar to the one we had with Kwando. The same spirit, not too polished and with emphasis on quality rather than on luxury.

Expert Africa has been attentive to all of our needs and requests. Thanks.

"Africa - one of our most memorable trips"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 30 Oct 2012 and 11 Nov 2012
"We take an international trip every year, and this Africa trip, compared to other trips, was very excellent in that it was culturally different from the other trips that we've taken.

We visited Africa primarily for the safaris and it is the safaris that made the trip memorable. Seeing the animals, in their natural habitats, doing what they normally do, without cages, boundaries, restrictions." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Actually oct 3 to nov 3"

I visited Zanzibar between 27 Oct 2012 and 3 Nov 2012
"Wonderful. Great flight fr SFO and back on Emirates, good decision and nice accomodations in Dubai Airport Hotel. Climbed Kili thru G adventure but climb actually run by Zara. Good job but it would be wise to better advise prospective climbers how gruelling it really is, not just the altitude but the trek itself. 3 out of 12 didn't summit.) We then stayed at Twiga Lodge for a week outside Arusha- very very lovely. Paul and Erika were super hosts. We were just licking our wounds after the climb, but after recuperating Paul took us on first an afternoon walk in the neighboring park then a day landrover venture into the park, excellent guide, saw a lot of animals, birds, etc. Then back with G adventure for a week trucking around the Serengetti with a group. Saw a lot- including a black mamba on a branch next to our land cruiser, hello!) and a juvenile bull elephant chase a pride of 15 (really) lions out from under a shade tree next to a water hole, amazing. Then a week on Zanzibar at Ras Ngwui- very lovely, already commented at length about.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Give Maruska a raise or she will be stolen by another firm. She was wonderful, not just in prep for the trip but also towards the end. She was amazing and unflappable when we e mailed fr zanzibar saying we wanted to cancel pole pole and stay the remainder at ras ngwui. We spent a bit more but it was worth the change and Maruska took a bit of the pain of that away by very quickly processing the resulting refunds for the decreased air costs. Maruska is the type of rep that ANY major corporation wod want to keep content." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"My Oct 2012 trip"

I visited Zambia between 26 Oct 2012 and 5 Nov 2012
"The overall programme suited us very well. Given the relatively short time available, Ellie had suggested just the right solution for us.

Our only issue was with Isaac who seemed rather uninspired and just looking forward to the end of the season. For the rest: Full marks to the entire Remote Africa Safaris team.

As BA cancelled the first leg of our flight to Lusaka we had almost lost one of our only eight days in the bush. But thanks to Ellie's fantastic help and support (even though we had booked the tickets ourselves) we managed to arrive in Zambia as originally planned. Brilliant service. We are most grateful.

"My Oct 2012 trip"

I visited Namibia between 25 Oct 2012 and 12 Nov 2012
"Thoroughly enjoyable trip, albeit too hot!! Apparently this was unusual for this time of year. We originally planned to go earlier but were persuaded to go later as it was quieter, but it would have been more comfortable.

We saw much more wildlife than we expected." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Little Kwara Safari"

I visited Botswana between 23 Oct 2012 and 26 Oct 2012
"Very average. would not recommend the camp to guests with lots of safari experience and only to people who like very basic bushcamps, but there must be much better options at lower prices ." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2012 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 22 Oct 2012 and 4 Nov 2012
"The trip was great from beginning to end to the extent that I doubt whether a future trip would be more enjoyable.

Before arriving I particularly hoped to see wild dogs and leopard I saw these and, in addition, a large variety of other creatures including bat eared foxes, bush pigs, hyenas, jackals, various mongeese etc. plus a large variety of birds, I can't think that of anything significant that was missed and this was due to the abilities of the guides and drivers.

One of the most enjoyable holidays that I have had. I did not find a single member of camp staff who was not both knowledgeable and helpful (sometimes limited a little by a slight language barrier).

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I have no particular comment to make regarding improvements to the the trip or service but see my comments with regard to the fly-camp.

Having only decided to make the trip at very late notice I was very impressed by the the holiday produced by Liz in the limited time available.

I would recommend the Expert Africa to others.

My apologies for not having replied sooner. The road to hell is paved with good intentions!!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
