Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"All the arrangements went very smoothly; we felt well informed and well prepared for the trip.

Three nights at each lodge should be a minimum. We really enjoyed the "add-ons" in Cape Town, Doha and Livingstone. Spending some time in Livingstone and then crossing into Zimbabwe with the bustling crowds around the border bridge, we were reminded how isolated we were in the safari camps.

We missed the connections with local people, if they can be authentic.

We are also a bit disappointed with Expert Africa's opacity about pricing." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Incredible experience, wasn't sure exactly what to expect but this trip of a lifetime exceeded any and all expectations.
Impressive organization by Tracy to give us a varied safari/beach experience." Read full review: 31 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"We had a truly fabulous trip.

Honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. We saw everything we wanted to see and all the camps were excellent and provided a different experience (we stayed at Kuro Tarangire, Lamai Serengeti, and Namiri Plains).

Already thinking about when we can go back!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"The entire trip was amazing - eight nights at Hwange Bush Camp in Zimbabwe including three nights fly camping at Mandavu followed by nine days on a mobile safari through Chobe, Savuti and Kwai.

The service throughout was outstanding.

"Excellent combination of camps for our first trip to Zambia . The South Luangwa NP first - The two Shenton Safaris camps an excellent combination.

Then to Lower Zambezi NP . Again the combination of main camp and bush camp run by same family worked very well .

The heat was pretty challenging at times. Temperatures in high 30’s - early 40’s most of the trip. We were well advised about this of course but it’s def worth mentioning. The only way to cool down a little is to wrap a wet a kikoy around you at night 👍🏻😊" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"The arrangements made by Expert Africa were excellent with one exception, the 'accessible' room in Nairobi mentioned above.

I do want to single out a young woman called Bernice at Nairobi airport who shepherded me through passport control avoiding the horrendous queues.

Otherwise Expert Africa's customary care and attention to detail are what I have come to expect." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Fantastic; exceeded all expectations.

Every component was top drawer -- pre-trip info, the accommodations, meals, guides, service, schedule -- even the animals all cooperated!

As a non-drinker, I wonder how much of my cost was allocated towards alcohol.

A non-alcohol pricing option might be something to consider for guests who'd agree not to indulge." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"It was an experience of a lifetime!!!

I can't wait to hopefully one day go back again, and I wouldn't change a thing, the trip from start to finish was everything I had dreamed it would be and so much more!!!

A special thank you Expert Africa, Richard Trillo, Nancie Wight, and to everyone else that made this trip one I will never ever forget!

The memories will live on in my heart forever.
