Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Once again we have had a great trip to Africa. We knew that Beho Beho and Oyster Bay would be incredible and they didn't disappoint. Sand Rivers was good and we enjoyed seeing a different part of the Selous.

Our only problem, which was quite beyond your control, were the biting insects that had appeared after the 2 days of rain in the Selous before we arrived!

I would like to thank Ellie for all her help - as usual there were so many e mails between us and she was just so efficient and patient in answering and then organising our trip.

We have used Expert Africa for several years now and always find your staff extremely pleasant and helpful. We have never had any problems with arrangements - drivers always there to collect us etc.

We have told many people to contact you and just wish that other travel companies could be like you.

Comments in your brochure are accurate - I can really find no faults at all with Expert Africa!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We found the Selous to be a very interesting area and the standard of guiding and service generally were excellent. However, our end of trip feeling was that we would not return.

"Maybe we were just very lucky and fortunate enough to have a guide to ourselves for most of the drives in Selous and Ruaha.

The animals were very co-operative often at very close quarters especially in presenting their young and often in rare situations e.g. a pride of lions with three very young cubs, a cheetah chasing impala and in turn being chased by baboons, a week old elephants being carried across a lake and giraffes fighting.

Although it turned out that we did have sufficient, we would have appreciated a little bit more guidance on how much money to take with us." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Great trip - good time to see birds in breeding plumage but not the best time for animals - we had 3/4 wet days in Ruaha. We had been warned about this by Expert Africa so was not a problem

All the pick ups and itinerary arrangement worked like clockwork - which is quite an achievement in Africa

"Overall good trip.

Expert Africa provided excellent seemless and timely pickup and drop-off services from the moment we landed in Africa. With this service, my daughter and I felt very safe; and it also made the trip that much more fun. Eleanor Dunkels did a great job from the time of preparation, advising us what to bring with us and where to go, catering to our requirements.

"Excellent as always" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"Cant fault any of it.

Only possible comment is .. dont expect large herds of anything and the animals are rather difficult to spot .... but we never saw another vehicle .. so that was great.

"This was a great trip, our eighth with Expert Africa since 2006, which entirely met our expectations and requirements.

Megan (and Lucy before her) did a great job on getting quite a complex itinerary to work. Thanks to all the team." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
