I will and have already recommended you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip
"Our Jun 2023 trip"
Claire made all of this seem effortless and she was very responsive to the questions that I posed to her before we left.
This was our 5th sub-saharan trip and it was so full of great experiences, people, animals and culture! We really felt like we were gone much longer than the short time that we had available. We felt that we made the most of our time and got a good sense of the different places we were able to visit.
Bravo Expert Africa. We will recommend you to our family and friends!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari
"My Jun 2023 trip"
Botswana is an incredible country to visit. I have never felt so welcome and well cared for anywhere else. All the staff and guides were friendly and wanted guests to feel at home. Game viewing is in small groups with a high level of personal service you just don't get elsewhere, and there is plenty of wildlife to see. Our guides were well trained, provided a lot of information and were always happy to answer questions. Most importantly, we always felt safe, despite getting very close to many animals. The guides even know the best way to manoeuvre and position vehicles, so photographers get the best view possible.
This was our third safari holiday and the best. Botswana definitely deserves it reputation as the best safari location.

"Namibia, Botswana and Vic Falls Trip"
Having used Expert Africa before, we once again found the quality of the service exceptional, coupled with benefiting from the teams in depth knowledge of the countries we were visiting. We once again found Namibia to be a wonderful country, and very easy to self drive around. We absolutely loved exploring the areas of Botswana on our itinerary, and meeting the friendly people of Zimbabwe around the amazing Victoria Falls. Every petrol station we stopped at had fuel available, and all accepted payments by card or in cash.
All lodges have Wifi, usually available in the main lodge area, but we found quite often our room would be close enough to this to be able to use it there. The was a noticeable difference between the quality of the roads in Namibia (good) when compared to those we used in Botswana (not so good)."

"My Oct 2022 trip"
All flights in small planes were great and lodges in Botswana and Namibia were small, clean, comfortable with extremely friendly staff.

"My Oct 2022 trip"
All our guides also commented on what a well constructed itinerary we had with contrasting environments for all the different places that we stayed.
The lodges were all extremely comfortable with very friendly and helpful staff.
The food was without exception excellent and we enjoyed meeting other guests over dinner.
We had requested a swimming pool/plunge pool in all our accommodation and we found this a very pleasant way to cool off in the middle of the day.
Our 13 year old found the early starts and long days tough as he normally sleeps for 9 hours a night and it's difficult to achieve that when you get up at 0500 and dinner is not til 2000. We were able to have our evening meal a little earlier at Hyena Pan which was helpful from that point of view.
The only thing I would consider changing if I went again would be to insert a night's sleep either in Jo'burg or in Maun prior to starting the actual safari as we were all quite tired following the trip out from the UK. This of course would have occurred if we had started in Vic Falls as is normal procedure but we deliberately arranged the trip in reverse due to the requirement for Covid testing before crossing borders."
