"Our trip was fabulous.

We loved the Wilderness Lodges.

I would highly recommend Turnstone Tours as well as Sefofane airways.

Suggestions for improvements:

If you were Expert World, we'd want to contact you for any future trips to other continents as well. Are you aware of companies of your caliber who cover Central America, South America or New Zealand?" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip

"It was a dream come true.

Everyone seemed out to make it the holiday of a life-time for us. Despite the fact that they are meeting 'first-timers' every day they shared our enjoyment afresh. That's camp staff, guides, transfer drivers, everyone we met. Thanks a million to them all." Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"The Fisherman drivers were professional, smartly dressed with an adequate level of English, and were good, safe drivers. The vehicles were clean and well-maintained. The drivers all arrived punctually at the agreed pick-up times.

I was disappointed that I had to initiate the arrangements for the transfers from all three hotels. Particularly at the ZCH, the receptionist spent an entire morning trying to contact the Fisherman office (on the two numbers provided by EA) to arrange my pick-up to the airport. Although the telephone numbers were ringing, noone was picking-up. In the end the receptionist called Mr Ali's emergency mobile. If pick-up times had been agreed between EA and Fisherman, I was unaware of them. I suggest transfer times are included in the itinerary letter you send to customers prior to departure to avoid any confusion." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"The most incredible journey even for the seasoned traveller who wants a little comfort and luxury. In hindsight, with the small-spotted genet safari, 3 nights were needed at Kwara (could I be greedy and say 4)? I intend to put that right in the future.

The perfect short trip and one that I could highly recommend." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Very good. The lodges chosen were fine, the connections all worked well and the service encountered was exemplary.

Great time and trouble was taken by Lucy (Copson) to make sure that I got the trip I wanted and nothing was too much trouble." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"Claire and her colleagues at Expert Africa were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in putting together our package of safaris and beach holiday. In both camps our excellent guides had to use all their skills to find the game in such dense bush and over such large areas, but find it they did.

The sightings were excellent, the animals and birds less skittish than we expected, particularly in Ruaha, and the weather much drier and more settled than might have been at this time of the year. The Safari Camps and their staff were excellent in every respect, and we had the comfortable and relaxing time at Breezes that we hoped for – a great holiday, and we can't wait to return."

"We woudl have liked to have known before we went that neither camps could cope with us walking the first one as it is in a national park and you are not allowed and the second one we all worked as a group so if one wanted to go for a walk everyone had to we were hoping to have gone on a guided walk on our own as we have done before" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
