"Our Namibia Sep 2022 trip"
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
"My Sep 2022 trip"
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
"My Sep 2022 trip"
It really paid off going to a number of different lodges to give us experiences in different environments where the animal life was varied.

"My Sep 2022 trip"
It was a long time coming as we booked pre-Covid and wondered if we would ever get there.
Expert Africa was instrumental in delivering this from the moment we contacted them to the fantastic planning mainly from Megan. She kept us up to date during Covid to when things were eventually opening up. Everything ran smoothly with no problems, especially flights and transfers.
I cannot thank them enough and would definitely recommend.

"Our Aug 2022 trip"
The way that Lucy organised the order of our visits, and the choice of camps that she recommended was excellent. Everything ran very smoothly and we saw so much game at the first camp we were almost spoiled for the rest! The camps all had different features and we enjoyed the different experiences at all of them. I had an ambition to see Wild Dogs which was fulfilled, and the Chobe NP probably has more elephants than you could possibly imagine.
The Guide at Linyanti Bush Camp rather let the side down, and I have elaborated in our detailed feedback on this camp, but that shouldn't detract from it being a lovely camp with great camp staff.
The only slight criticism is that we hadn't expected the ground to basically be sand which meant very, very bumpy rides, and that we didn't have the best footwear. This was very different ground to other safari venues we have visited - but we managed okay - might just be worth forewarning folk if they've not been to Botswana before.
Overall a fantastic holiday, and we shall of course go with Expert Africa on future journeys to that great continent.

Despite a complicated itinerary, it went very smoothly, thanks to Expert Africa's partnerships with excellent companies and lodges, but also and especially thanks to the exceptional, proactive, meticulous preparation and guidance by Maruska and the Expert Africa team.

"My Aug 2022 trip"
The booking process was really efficient, informative and painless thanks to Tracy's help and availability throughout. I had a particular itinerary in mind but was not sure whether it would work in practice. With Tracy's help it became a reality and the girls and I had a very memorable trip of a lifetime with lots of photographs to enjoy for years afterwards.
I couldn't fault any of it - all the connections worked well and no complaints about any aspect.
Thank you so much for all the help and making it a reality. I really hope it will have given my girls a taste for travel in the future." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

Flying made it a lot faster to get around, which made it easier to see more things (worth the cost)." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
