Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Exceeded all our expectations and got better as the trip progressed. Well worth the huge outlay.

Never to be forgotton but will loose all our friends raving about it!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Hard to think how you could have improved it. I think it was a shame we did not listen to the advice regarding our last camp in Botswana and feel she should have told us how little wild life ther was at Selinda. She did inform us the wild life was not as good here but there was very little." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"We enjoyed to return to the South Luangwa. The Lower Zambezi was new to us, and was wonderful.

The holiday exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lucy and all the team at Expert Africa.

We suggest that you include a mention in the Guide to Zambia about the opportunity for visitors to the South Luangwa to help support the Kawaza school and Project Luangwa, if they so wish." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"We had never been to Tanzania or done a Safari holiday before. We absolutely loved it and will definitely want to do another safari holiday in the future to Africa.

Both Selous and Ruaha were amazing places to get really close to the animals and the scenery was breathtaking. We would also like to thank Liz Wollen and Eleanor Dunkels at Expert Africa who spent a lot of time talking us through the different camps and locations. Their help was immeasurable and their advice was spot on. Our trip ran like clockwork and their recommendations were superb. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it.

"Everything on this trip was great. We've both travelled quite a lot and we rank this trip as one of the best. We saw everything we wanted to in the time we had and it really couldn't have been improved.

Our concern before we left was that we might have chosen too many places with too much driving inbetween. As it turned out, the journeys between places were some of our best experiences. We drove 2,300 miles in total and it was a pleasure. We would love to have stayed in places longer, but the itinerary really worked well.

Just to try and ensure that the vegetarian information gets through to the chef! Easier said than done, I know.

I'm sure they must find it frustrating to find out they have to make something else when the guest is actually sitting at the table.
We did actually make sure we told each of the lodges when we checked in." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Management, guides, general staff superb.

Transfers worked like clockwork and there was always someone to guide us to the next destination.

Apart from Busanga game was excellent as were the three camps.
Shiwa was an wonderful experience as already mentioned.

Only downside was the tsetses in Kafue, would actually prevent us returning there.

As previous users of Wilderness camps in other African countries it would be helpful to see in your brochure which ones belong to them." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Wonderful to be back in the valley and Kapani and Tafika were fabulous.

The trip was spoiled somewhat by Mwaleshi which was disappointing as this was my first trip to North Park and I'd been looking forward to it.
