Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We put so much time and energy into this trip that it could easily have been an anti-climax ......but it wasn't!!!!! We had a wonderful time and all our negative feelings from 10 years ago have been swept away." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Very pleasant contact with the staff of Expert Africa. Always very helpful in spite of all our changes and late moment decisions. Also the book about Namibia written by Chris McIntyre was excelent and up to date.

"One of our best holiday trip, it was!

Do not want to come back home!

Suggestions for improvement:

I can't think of any.

What I found the brochure is very informative and interesting. Useful way to broaden our horizons and to see on what to expect whilst planning our itinerary." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Absolutely first class, our best holiday ever. We particularly valued the itinerary you had prepared for us, which gave us all we wanted to see. The flowers in Namaqualand fully justified starting the trip from Cape Town, and Fish River, Namib/Naukluft, Damaraland and Etosha gave us some absolutely memorable experiences. Clearly there was much we have yet to see, but this holiday has been a start.

We particularly appreciated leaving Etosha to the end: on the way northwards we were fascinated by our sightings of lifestock, but these were as nothing to what we saw round some of the Etosha waterholes, and had we seen the latter first, the others would have been less exciting for us.

We were also pleased with all the accommodation arranged for us, which with only limited exceptions, was all delightful and comfortable, with exceedingly friendly welcomes..

Suggestions for improvement:

Keep doing as you are doing!" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Amazing trip, amazing service and easy planning with Anna of Expert Africa.

Have found the Zambian experience to meet and exceed every expectation. As our first trip to Africa we found the Zambian people a refreshing change, who seem to never stop smiling and great pride in such a magical country. Safri with Norman Carr Safaris was a trip we will never forget.

The Norman Carr 'magic button' seems to always bring out the best wildlife, the best behaviour and the best safari experience. We found it quite emotional to be leaving a place that felt more home than England. Next time we will try losing our passports to at least stay that bit longer.

A wonderful trip only exceeded by the fact we are now engaged to be wed!

Suggestions for improvement:

Help us to stay longer next time!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Again if there were a category better then very satisfactory I would use it. This ranks with our best holidays and we have been on many to a wide variety of places. We love Africa (and Asia and South America) and the many and varied experiences it can offer but the country, its geology that is quite astonishing, its array of wildlife, its friendly and welcoming people all go together to create a truly wonderful place that I would love to visit again and again.

The trip was really well designed and thought out and although we covered a lot of miles it wasn't too onerous because of the stopovers and the time spent at each location.

Suggestions for improvement:

All in all the whole experience from looking for a trip to the trip itself was excellent." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"We have been fortunate that we have been on Safari on a number of occasions and have a great love of Africa. We have always had a great experience and a fair few adrenalin rushes when out in the Bush.

From the start of itinery planning with Expert Africa until the time we reluctantly have to come home we have always received friendly firstclass care and treatment.

Suggestions for improvement:

I cannot think of any improvements as I have always had firstclass treatment." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Lagoon and Lebala Camps and would recommend them to anyone who is interested in exploring the beautiful landscape, flora and fauna of the area guided by top notch guides and staying in lovely camps." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari
