Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Aside from the wildlife, the most memorable moments of my trip were with the locals that I met and had the privilege of spending time with. Our guides Peter and Simon at Laikipia have ten pairs of eyes and radar when it came to finding animals. Dido at Mara Bush with his engaging smile and impish sense of humor. And Esther and Peter, both of whom are wonderfully charming and always ready to wrap you up in a hug. There are not enough superlatives! I would go back in a heartbeat!"

No it was wonderful and I found Expert Africa/Richard Trillo to be so helpful and docs sent home were clear and concise.

"Trip of a life time! Far exceeded our expectations. An amazing overall experience that we will never forget!

Richard was very helpful when we had queries & replied very promptly.

Everything went so smoothly with no hiccups.

What a thrill & experience to finally meet Nancie Wight & travel with her. Nancie was just an amazing & fun person, making everything a breeze! (and we picked up a few photography tips)

Thank you Expert Africa, Richard & Nancie!

No suggestions, as from our point of view everything was excellent!" Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"We had a great trip, particularly the wildlife parts and our visit to Kichaka and Beho Beho.

Fundu Lagoon was disappointing." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was fantastic.

Logistics were very smooth from landing in Kigali to drop off at JRO.

Expert Africa even had someone greet us at Kigali to escort us through customs, see us to a lounge while waiting, gather our bags, and direct us from the lounge to our driver.

Our driver in Rwanda was incredible. Just a fantastic experience." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"I always recommend Expert Africa for their amazing service and attention to detail. The whole process is clear and efficient. Not only are their personnel friendly, helpful and extremely knowledgeable but they treat return customers (of which they must have very many!) as old friends (which we are!).

I cannot recommend them highly enough and would not dream of planning my safaris without them.

I can think of no possible improvements to the service you provide and look forward to planning my next trip already." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We had an enjoyable time, but the location and recommendations of the Olmara camp was not a good choice. We expected more expertise on this — or at least to have made us aware. Some of the side trips were not good use of time." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Another wonderful trip! Everything ran like clockwork from start to finish. Wildlife sightings on this trip were some of the best I have experienced.

Nothing I can think of! Expert Africa will always be my first choice to organise my next safaris." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"It was a fantastic trip overall and the itinerary for birding was amazing - we saw so many species.

We had great guiding, especially at Kifaru and Tortillis and were lucky enough to get a private vehicle at both. At Elsa’s we shared a vehicle with 2 charming like-minded people so that was great too. All of our dietary needs and other preferences had clearly been communicated and management everywhere could not have done more to accommodate us. Really impressed with Elewana and would recommend them to anyone. All of the transfers were seamless except going from Air Kenya to Safarilink at Wilson.

Not sure if I had to do it again whether I would drive from Amboseli through East Tsavo with a one night stop. It was a long, hot, uncomfortable drive on a container route for the most part, we didn’t see much of Tsavo, and from Satao to the coast was full of day-trippers and their crazy drivers. However, I did get some great birds so…

Not really…everything was great. I love your website and refer people to it all the time." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari

"Once again, Maruska came up trumps (the first time by recommending Flatdogs in Zambia).

This was a totally different, but fascinating experience.

It was a little wet at Amalinda but not enough to spoil it, and they badly need the rain." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
