Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"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

"Superb trip. Most impressed with the efficiency of 'and beyond'" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"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

"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).

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.

"We could have done with a bit more advice on tipping at the camps. We were a little unprepared as to this cost but certainly did not begrudge anyone their tips!

"The trip was very good.

The Silver Tours transfer to and from the Hwange Main Camp were 1/2 to 1 hour late each way. Next time, we would likely schedule and earlier pickup time than 10:30 AM, since they're likely to be late anyway. We would also fly in and out of Livingstone Airport. Even with the construction, it seemed better to us than Victoria Falls Airport. We would probably arrange the Devil's Pool activity later in the day, since it includes breakfast on the island in the morning - when we already have breakfast provided at the hotel."

"Zambia was amazing and I would highly recommend it to people who want to go on safari in Africa.

Expert put together a great trip for us. Everything was so well arranged, we didn't have to think or worry about anything from the time we arrived to the time we left.

Robin Pope Safaris are a great company. They have everything planned and thought out for you. The staff are amazing, from the hosts to the guides to the chefs and the waiting staff. No stone is left unturned. You are made to feel totally at home when you arrive at the camp. I travelled with my parents and for them it was a trip of a life time. They didn't know what to expect so were totally blown away when they arrived.

Thanks to everyone for a great holiday
