Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Excellent apart from a big disappointment with the hire car" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"This will rank as one of my best holidays.

The whole trip exceeded expectations, and the level of service throughout the trip could not be faulted and while a Zambian safari is not the cheapest option, I felt this was definitely value for money.

Anna's advice on the itinery turned out to be a perfect recommendation, with the right amount of time in each place.

Suggestions for improvement:

I was completely satisfied with the whole level of service, particularly the fact that the itinerary was organised around what I was looking for rather than any pre-set itinerary. Anna was also able to give recommendations on the options, based on personal experience - always a plus for me. I would definitely recommend Expert Africa to anyone considering a safari to Africa."

"We were delighted with our trip.

All went smoothly - Botswana exceeded our expectations and everywhere we felt looked after and taken care of.

Having spent a considerable sum of money, we hoped that we'd feel it was worth it, and it certainly was in terms of uniqueness of experience and sheer enjoyment.

We felt well prepared for our trip and all went to plan - I like the fact you send a complimentary copy of Chris's book and also the Notes to Travellers are really good.

Thank you for a great holiday." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"A super trip. We are already boring all our friends with our tales!!

Would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to friends" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Our trip was excellent. My only substantive comment would be that I think you over rate Doro Nawas and Namutoni and under rate Okaukuejo, though I appreciate that this is just a personal view based on one visit only.

I was also intrigued that during the booking process, we had difficulty getting in where we wanted to be when we wanted to be there. This resulted in a less than ideal sequence of lodges. In the event, none of the lodges were full and most were nearer to being empty. This was fine to the extent that we usually had guides pretty much to ourselves, but it meant extra driving and some back tracking. This was a pity."

"Fantastic - the most important things were that we saw the wildlife and had experiences that we wanted.

Your questionnaire is too much on the camps/hotels and not enough on the experiences and what you see which are far more important to us. We would go back to each place we stayed and we would certainly use Expert Africa again especially as we initially costed this trip ouselves and found that you offered a good saving and the added comfort of support in the UK and Anna's advice and in depth knowledge of Zambia. We know a number of other clients who say the same about Anna :)

Suggestions to help Expert Africa improve their service: Keep on looking out for camps and lodges that concentrate on wildlife not just creature comforts. Keep prices competitive, keep friendly and knowledgeable staff like Anna. We are very happy - thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Kudos for the excellent mix proposed (4 nights at Kapani. 3 at Kakuli and 2 at Tongabezi). It was the main ingredient for the success of our trip and enabled us to experience very well organized safaries (walking, river and driving) in southern Luangwa prior to relaxing near the falls.

Zambia was an excellent choice: The nature is majestic during the wet season, the wildlife superbe. The people in all three places were very professional, knowledgeable, genuinely kind, polite and pleasant. We had a great time!

Suggestions for improvements:

You are doing an excellent job, however, if you wish to expand your services to clientelle outside the UK, you need to examine alternative ways to get your clients to Zambia." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
