"Overall Feedback"
Liz in particular was amazing - right from advising and helping us put together an itinerary, to sorting our flights out in the Heathrow chaos and helping us when needed during our trip. Liz's achievement in swapping us from BA to Kenya Airways on 20 December (at virtually no extra cost), without any exaggeration, saved the whole trip.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Expert Africa to friends and family, and I'll be in touch when we visit Africa again!
Thanks again for all your hard work,
Neil and Jo

Keep up the good work, everyone in Africa we met spoke very highly of Expert Africa." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"Christmas in Africa"
On the negative side, it would have been useful to have a rough idea of the time journeys migt take rather than the distance - which means very little in Africa. We did find the trip and Namibia quite expensive, perhaps a reflection both on the weak pound but also how Africa is increasing in popularity."

"Botswana"
Everywhere we went there was someone waiting to collect us and carry our bags to our next destination. It was extremely well-organised with a good blend of different activities / game / environments.
Thank you Lucy for putting it all together for us, we can't thank you enough! We will be back I am sure!

"Second time around"
We have yet to be disappointed with any of our trips, we do our research and choose our agents carefully, and have again been pleased with Expert Africa. Thus trip was arranged with short notice and no hitches.
The allocation of a trip advisor as "one port of call" is what we expect and the fact that there is a team of other experts to assist is also vital in our choice of agents - both these points were met and we would not hesitate to contact them for future trips.

"A wonderful trip!"
The level of professionalism seems to increase each time I visit, and the people, with their charming and helpful attitudes, make a holiday there very special There are too many members of staff in the lodges to mention individually, but our thanks go out to them all for making our stay with them memorable in every way.
Thank you, Lucy, for organising everything, and I will certainly be in touch when organising my next trip to Africa.

"Africa Trip"
Trip was a big success and incorporated three mini holidays at Stonetown, Matemwe and Chumbe. Was a shock to the system to return to sub zero temperatures in the UK

Only small gripe was when we arrived at Zanzibar airport we were tired after the trip and found our taxi there with a sign with our names, there were two men there, one of whom offered to carry our bags all of 10 yards and then demanded a tip when all we had was dollars, don't know whether our taxi driver knew what was going on but did not help us much."

Gwynneth couldn't have been more helpful with advice. Ellie was also helpful when our flight was delayed in giving us advice and booking us another hotel in Windhoek. Many thanks!

It may have been good to have more info on camping in Namibia. We met a few people doing that and this would be useful as a cheaper option as this is quite an expensive holiday!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
"outstanding in everyway"
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not a one.
However having, it seems, run out of space to comment [Ed: earlier in this 'form' for our traveller's feedback], I would like to add that my trip to Namibia was a last minute thing and all I knew I wanted was 'Dunes', Kayaking and a lodge somewhere convenient. This lack of purpose could have been a recipe for disaster.
Thanks to Sabina, who literally planned every minute of my schedule and got me to Cape Town when I needed to be there, I have literally had the trip lf a lifetime." Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 2 on a Namibia trip
