Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We had a truly wonderful holiday. The advice that we received from Ellie Dunkels was exceptional. The places that she recommended to us were so "right" it was almost as if she knew us personally. Liz Wollen helped us closer to the time of departure and was very helpful and accommodating as our plans changed.

Tanzania itself was wonderful. The people we met were charming and gracious, the countryside, animals, birds, sea and fish were breathtaking and Stone Town was a fascinating place to end a memorable holiday. For all of us Chole Mjini was definitely the highlight but Lake Manze is pretty hard to fault!

"An enjoyable trip with mainly good accommodation. Animals at the western end of Etosha a bit scarce as they all seemed to have gone to the middle and eastern end.

Weather was unseasonably warm which we all enjoyed and a wonderful holiday enjoyed by all especially as Ben was able to use all the swimming pools which added to his enjoyment." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Overall a fabulous holiday.Very relaxing. A truly stunning country.

In the context of an excellent holiday - a few pieces of feedback

1. I think we should have been recommended a 4x4 car - hadn't realised what the roads were like, and would definitely have appreciated that! We were consistently the only guests at lodges who were in a small car

2. Swokupmund was not worth visiting. .The purpose of our trip was to see the country, not a seaside resort, so we had always seen this as simply a stopover. During the planning of the holiday, we'd pushed quite hard for just a one night stop over there, but Expert Africa had been quite insistent that we would need 2. This was a wasted day, which was disappointing. We should have either been allowed to take the one night, or instead, should have taken 2 separate nights out in the countryside.
Recommendation - try to understand what's important for people's holidays (for us towns were absolutely not important)

3. Palmwag was disappointing" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"The trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was fabulous.

We have been to Namibia and Zambia before, but this was so very different.

We loved every bit of it and all the arrangements ran like clock work." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"Thank you Expert Africa for putting together an excellent itinery for this trip.

I found Lucy Copson to be very professional, listening carefully to what we wanted and organising an outstanding trip. Our trip was 18 days, included 10 flights across 4 countries, there were numerous transfers, and everything went life clock-work, for a trip to Africa that is worth every penny!

Thank You!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 3 on a Mozambique holiday

"This was an amazing honeymoon, enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the beaches in Mozambique before heading into the Botswanan delta to two Kwando camps and then onto Tongabezi near Livingstone.
