Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"As always a very good trip in Namibia it's an easy country to travel around in" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"The entire trip went smoothly including linking with our independently booked international flights through Expert Africa’s local ground agents, who were punctual and excellent in undertaking the transfers between the airport and hotel in Lusaka.

This was a return to the two Shenton Safaris camps after an interval of 5 years. Expert Africa showed great patience with our repeated rebookings and amendments after our initial booking in December 2019. No sign of any effect of Covid at the camps or at our hotel or at the airports in Zambia. Excellent camps and guides and good companionship amongst staff and guests. It was lovely to be back.

The game experience was wonderful, with plentiful sightings of big cats, ellies and other favourites, excellent friendly, small camps in an area where we only saw two other camps’ game drive vehicles. Part of this area of South Luangwa’s appeal is high density wildlife and low density visitors. A great experience and many highlights and happy memories."

"Despite travel to Zambia and Malawi being a little challenging (there are no direct flights, so lots of flights and transfers) we regarded all this as part of the adventure and worth it for the experiences we had.

Covid regulations weren't a problem, we were met and escorted at every stage of the journey and all the staff were very helpful and friendly. We love the tiny planes between places and the balance of safari and beach chill-out was fantastic, a very special trip.

Claire was always responsive, pro-active and gave us great advice when planning the trip and answering my questions throughout.

As it was our joint birthdays, the special surprises each location laid on were just lovely and so kind.

I honestly believe EA are the very best at Africa holidays, the knowledge and experience of the advisors are exceptional and their advice is accurate." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Fabulous itinerary and trip.

Amazing sights, awesome game drives, wonderful people.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We were only disappointed in the level of amenities at Serian.

Given the terrific high standards the rest of the trip, and the trip pricing, we had assumed all camps would be of equal value.
Quite disappointed just about this stay." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 5 on a Rwanda safari

"All of us greatly enjoyed our trip.

Ruaha is a wonderfully scenic park and its location at the northern limit of some species and the southern limit of others means that it houses a unique variety of animals.

We had some excellent sightings including roan antelope, numerous lions, including a mating pair right by the jeep, and leopard four times.

We stayed at Mwagusi first and then Ikuka and both camps were excellent." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a wonderful trip despite some issues to do with our health which we did not allow us to stop us doing what we wanted and the weather at times it was very cold, very windy and very warm 40+ degree for 5 days in Etosha!!" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"The trip was extremely well organised.

We were well taken care of in Rwanda with an excellent local guide providing transport, liaising with the camps and organising the gorilla treks." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Rwanda safari

"Our trip to Zambia was absolutely amazing in every way.

It was lovely to enjoy a break away, knowing that we were bringing much needed income back into the parts of the country where families are reliant on tourism.

The camp staff were all so welcoming and the wildlife sightings were exceptional.

We would thoroughly recommend Zambia as a destination for first time safari-goers as well as old hands. Just GO!

Lucy did the most incredible job to put together our itinerary and to adapt it as necessary due to the Covid postponements.

Thank you so much." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 21 on a Zambia safari
