Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We thoroughly enjoyed it. All aspects of the trip were very satisfactory and some aspects exceeded our expectations.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No real suggestions for improvement, but I would like to comment that I found your website to be excellent and it was this that encouraged me to book with you." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Liuwa is a sensational destination - remote, peaceful and with outstanding birdlife and large mammals. That is is not a 'Big Five' park (you won't see rhino, leopard or elephant, and as yet only a handful of buffalo are being reintroduced), it's a wonderful place to see vast numbers of wildebeest and zebra, astonishingly diverse bird species and predators in action.

Robin Pope and his team provide an outstanding service, and the overall experience is quite unique." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa;

"So much of this trip was a bit of magic.

From climbing dunes to watching sunrise over the red dunes to watching a group of lions surround our vehicle and literally ROAR at us to watching Cheetahs stalk and kill, to sleeping under the stars, driving for hours on roads and being in this amazing wilderness and not seeing another car for hours and not to forget all the wonderful people we met. Some proprieters of lodges, guests and employees.

Not all of the trip was perfect, but all in all we had an amazing time." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari

"The trip as a whole was very well organised. We came to Expert Africa after I had contacted several other companies who had their ideas about what we should do and did not listen to us and our requests. We did have several revisions of the itinerary but Nick was very patient and helpful throughout.

We were very impressed by the high level of organisation of all the trips we went on and in particular how the 2 companies we were travelling with contacted each other so that we went seamlessly from one part of the country to the other. Flights between locations in Botswana were impressively efficient and on time.

The whole trip went extremely well and met our expectations. i think it might be worth pointing out to travellers who come direct from Botswana to the Uk that they will be travelling for over 24 hours (in our case Kwai- Maun- Johannesburg- London) and to suggest the option of an overnight stay in Jhb."

"This was the perfectly orchestrated trip, introducing us to southern Africa. Maruska's ability to listen and plan an experience for complete strangers is uncanny.

Her recommendations assured us of perfect days, every day. To be met at a remote airfield, an hour late, by a jeep who dropped us at a waiting boat at the side of the river, met at the other side and taken to a hotel, all by kind, proud, and efficient staff is an amazing feat. It never occurred to us to be worried - we just accepted each step as part of our wonderful journey.

Looking back it could have been a series of mishaps - but it was perfect! Graeme never wants to travel anywhere else because we enjoyed sights and experiences we never imagined - endless desert, rich delta, the power and beauty of the animals, the kind and gentle people, and moving music. Thank you for the gift!" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"Everything has been perfectly well organized by Nick and Expert of Africa for our trip to Botswana. They really do Tailor-made trips and can arrange a wide variety of activities and understand very well your constraints (mine were mostly photographic). Everything was pretty smooth with no disappointment just pure joy!

No doubt I will recommend Expert Africa and use their service again.

Thanks you!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"We loved the trip. Sabina did an excellent job of planning our itinerary and helping us along the way.

Our itinerary involved quite a bit of driving and in end I am glad we drove even though there were several days that I wished we only had to drive 3 hours instead of 4 or 5. But it was a wonderful way to see the country and feel a part of it. I loved the changing landscape. If we had been able to plan a longer trip we would have benefited from staying in places for another day." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"The trip was our first one to Namibia and all four of us really enjoyed the whole of the experience.

The people and accommodation lived up to / exceeded our expectations. There is lots to see and do and there were a lot of miles to drive which we did expect and it was good to share the driving between four of us. The roads were an experience in themselves. Namibia offers a good variety of places to visit including deserts, mountains, coast and plains with lots of wildlife. The food was good but the main course of meat and veg did get a bit repetitive.

We would recommend anyone to visit Namibia and use the services of Expert Africa who were very helpful, informative and knowledgeable." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip
