Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We had an absolutely fantastic time and loved it. We have fallen in love with Namibia and can't wait to come back!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

As mentioned before it might be worth suggesting to people to pre-book treatments at places such as Olive Grove/Gochehanas - but this is a very small issue.

Can't otherwise see how things could have been better - thank you very much!!!" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"Wonderful trip - what a varied and beautiful country Namibia is. Just wish we could have gone for longer - could happily stay for several days at each of the lodges. Each was unique and of high quality. The hosts were friendly and helpful, everywhere clean, and the food excellent.

We were so glad that Gwynneth persuaded us to stay at Barchan Dune Retreat (rather than our own choice). Her local knowledge on this and the road journeys (eg how difficult the Spreegshoote Pass would be) was invaluable. She answered our queries quickly and efficiently and was always courteous and good-humoured.

We usually do our own booking when we travel but appreciated having Gwynneth doing this for us and fitting the jigsaw of the accommodation together. It was helpful to be able to read other people's comments on your website." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"10 out of 10

We loved every bit of our time in the bush - wish it could have been a lot longer - we didn't really need a night in Dar at the end however.

We'll be back !

Keep up the good work" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a wonderful safari in Tanzania and as usual returned home wanting to go back to Africa again.
The lodges were just as described in your brochure and we were extremely lucky with the game that we saw.
We wanted to see Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs and saw all of these and more.

Thank you very much to Ellie for her help and advice and patience with us changing our minds on a number of occasions before finalising the holiday.

"No preparation could have prepared us for the sheer beauty of the desert, the dunes and the wide open African scenery. I had long wanted to go to Namibia and it far outshone our expectation and would return if i could.

We shared the wilderness cairport shuttle with another E.A. costomer and she said we'd find it addictive ----it sure is. Weve been far and wide over the years and this holiday is right up there amongst the top places.

"My third trip to Tanzania and Selous with Expert Africa.

The reserve is beautiful and relatively quiet - with plenty of animals and birds to see. Impala camp is well run, friendly and has an appropriate level of comfort and facilities for a bush holiday.

Thanks Claire for once again, understanding our needs and helping us plan the trip.

We will be back!

Consider extending the countries you cover - I'd love to visit Ethiopia...." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

"We were recommended to visit Namibia by some people we met in Botswana last year. It was a good piece of advice. We chose Expert Africa because they seemed to have the expertise to organise bespoke travel arrangements. During the planning stages nothing was overlooked by our consultant Sabina, and this gave us great confidence.

We would certainly advise like minded travellers to visit Namibia, and to trust Expert Africa as we did." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Thank you for guiding us through the arranging of our holiday of a lifetime! Expert Africa's advice on where to stay, suggestions on itinery and patience in putting the trip together were exceptional. In particular, the advice to stay at Kwandwe Game Reserve made the holiday for us.

The only change we would have made would have been to stay in Cape Town for a further day, but we couldn't have extended our holiday to do this - a good excuse to return in the future!

Nothing we can think of - we'll certainly recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 12 on a South Africa trip

"I always think that the theory of relativity applies to holidays in that time seems to be SO much shorter in Africa than back in the reality of work and the cold of Canada.

It helps to use the expert services of the staff at Expert AFrica who know their business inside and out. We will definitely be back to Africa and will be using Expert Africa again.
