"Our trip was excellent, the camps were all wonderful , wildlife plentiful and we had great viewings with help from our super guides.

All the arrangements worked seamlessly, couldn’t have been better, just perfect, we loved every minute." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"One of the best trips we have had worldwide, and especially in Southern Africa.

Delightfully quirky Roy's rest camp to simply luxurious Onguma, Nambwa and Chobe Chilwero.

There was only one camp, Shametu River Lodge, that was a real disappointment.

All the connections and pickups worked very well. The meet and greet at Windhoek by your agent was especially welcome after a couple of flights.

Marushka, your representative, couldn't have been more helpful as she listened to our ideas before curating and then amending her suggested itinerary. Constant follow-ups were reassuring.

We cannot see how either you, her or we could have improved our trip with Expert Africa .. sorry.." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"A superb safari holiday experience.

We chose 4 mutually complementary but contrasting locations in the Okavango, Savuti and Chobe areas with the helpful suggestions from Lucy (our agent) and each camp certainly met our expectations both in terms of the accommodation/ food and the wildlife observations.

We were privileged to witness some exciting game episodes comparable or exceeding what we have previously experienced in eastern and southern Africa. The absolute highlight of the trip was the private mobile camp in Savuti which with Andrew Harkness provided a thrilling and memorable experience.

Once again, Expert Africa has been excellent in providing knowledgeable suggestions for the trip during our planning and efficiently booking our whole safari experience. Many thanks." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"This safari was planned and booked in, I think, 2019. Like the rest of the world, we had to postpone it twice due to Covid. It was worth the wait. I especially loved Ruaha and Nyerere because they don't seem to attract as many tourists as the migration area. But, having said that, seeing the migration is mind blowing.

On our last day, the camp manager was telling us all about Asilia and their environmental policies. I am really impressed with this company and would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely stay at their properties in the future. I hope they will consider expanding into Southern Africa...

I love Expert Africa! I will continue to use you whenever I travel to Africa.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with your company." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Our best safari so far and we will quite possibly use Expert Africa again.

We have always planned our own trips in the past to SA, Namibia and Botswana (self drive) but found we needed help with Zambia which you provided amply. This was booked in Feb 2020 and was delayed by 12 months twice due covid so I was particularly pleased when it actually happened." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"This was a wonderful trip and delighted we went. We had no concerns at any point about safety. We were greeted with such appreciation from everyone we met and all went out of their way to make our stay as memorable as possible.

I am especially grateful to Megan who pulled the trip together at relatively short notice!

Nope, excellent service, thank you!

Have already recommend Expert Africa, and Jessica specifically, to family who are thinking about a safari trip." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We would definitely recommend Expert Africa to our family and friends.

We have received personalise assistance and guidance throughout all aspects of our holiday. We cannot praise Maruska enough. She has been at the end of emails and phone calls ready to answer all questions and give us help. Thank you Maruska.

All the bookings and flights worked well and we cannot fault the organisation in any way.

The company website gave great information, helping us to make our choices of camps to our needs and the camps that we _booked_ lived up to expectations.

Well done Expert Africa.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Any suggestions have been made in our feedback on the camps.

There are certain camps that I would suggest for a longer stay of three nights. One being Dinaka but this might be dependent on what an individual was looking for. My suggestion is based on us being keen photographers.

It could also be noted that a bush walk at one camp could be quite different from another. Dinaka is our example in this as the walk is done by a Sen bushman. This had more appeal to us than the walks at other camps. So a ‘what to expect’ from this activity could be useful.

Noting the different types of vehicles in use is a minor point but useful. When we moved from Kwando camps to Ker Downey camps I failed to notice that the side of the truck (where you step in) had a lower opening. This meant that I did not have some items, including my feet, clear of the floor surface when we went through water meaning that my feet and the company blanket (which was hanging down over my legs) got soaked."
