"Loved it"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 27 Jul 2010 and 13 Aug 2010
"It was fabulous to return to Okonjima and Etosha - in new camps - and the Caprivi Strip and Botswana were excellent and everything we had hoped for in terms of a different safari experience.

The driving is enjoyable, the people all very friendly and generally helpful and all the lodges did not disappoint. Can't wait to return to Botswana and who knows where else in a couple of years time." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"A safari with a difference"

I visited Zambia between 25 Jul 2010 and 7 Aug 2010
"Both South Lauangwa and Lower Zambezi are stunningly beautiful. The camps we visited gave us a nice mix of locations and options for game viewing. We especially loved the after dark activity and got some of our best sightings in the eveining including Aardvark and African wild cat.

I have more mixed feelings about the bush walks. For photographic reasons and the video I take, I do like to get as close as possible to the animals. Bush walking is about a different experience and is very enjoyable but will not get you close to the animals. When time is limited it takes careful planning to get a comfortable balance and that is not always available. For example In small bush camps they may not have the resources to meet all expectations so you can find yourself doing a bush walk even when you may have wanted to go on a drive. Whilst the quantity of wildlife may not be as prolific as that say in Kenya the big advantage that Zambia has over the Masi Mara for example is that you are unlikely to have to fight for a sighting with lots of other trucks. There is plenty of space.

Personally it was not so much the quality of guiding that stood out, though it is excellent, but the warmth of the Zambian people. All the staff we met loved what they do and will always go the extra mile to make it special for you. Treat them with respect and they will respect you.

This was our third trip with Expert Africa. Given the turbulence in the travel arrangements due to the BA strikes I cannot speak highly enough of the way in which Claire picked up ( when Anna left) our holiday booking and very efficiently finalised the arraangements.

The whole holiday worked smoothly and was a real pleasure from start to finish." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Fantstic trip that ran like clockwork"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2010 and 11 Aug 2010
"Great trip with all the logistics working perfeclty.

Claire and Ellie workied hard to pull the trip together and patiently looked at various options before we finalised the arrangements. I had also challanged a number suggestions which were explained to me while the trip was being prepared and which. with hindsight, were the right ones to make.

Thank you - I'm sure we will come back to you for another trip at some point in the near future.

It would be worth getting clarity on bank credit card charges to advise customers - we got inconsistent charges quoted - form no charge (Ras Katani) to 10% charge for credit cards at Impala camp. Fortunately we had bought enough cash not to have to pay but it could be expensive if you were not prepared and it's puzzleing that the the fees quoted were inconsistnet."

"A fantastic family adventure"

I visited Namibia between 23 Jul 2010 and 8 Aug 2010
"Namibia was fantastic.

This was a well planned itinerary and everthing went according to plan. We stayed in many stunning locations, the quality of the food exceeded our expectaions, and everybody we met clearly wanted us to have a good experience of their country.

The only downside is that we can't afford a holiday like this every year!

Just let customers know that places with pools all provide swimming towels- this would have saved us a little luggaage space!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"A special and amazing experience"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 23 Jul 2010 and 6 Aug 2010
"We were blown away by the skill nd knowledge of the safari guides and their willingness to teach and passion for the world in which they live. We had a wonderful adventure with lots of very special memories to remeber Africa by.

Two of the Camps we stayed in were exceptional given the constraints within Zambia and Botswana. Our only concerns are captured in the previous comments in this questionnaire." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
