The people behind Expert Africa really understand their business. We are therefore already looking forward our next trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No, as the commitment and support from Lucy and Expert Africa was outstanding" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Our Oct 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 5 Oct 2023 and 2 Nov 2023
"In terms of game viewing experience, quality of accommodations, ease of connecting between camps and overall enjoyment this is the best safari experience we’ve had.
Expert Africa took care of all the details once we landed in Africa, and when we had a flight delay between camps due to weather, our flight schedule and accommodation for an extra night in camp were organized for us without a hitch.
The quality of every camp was just as we expected. The quality of guiding was the highest we’ve experienced. And even after a month of travel we never tired of the delicious and varied menu options.
Expert Africa took care of every detail and Wilderness (plus Green Safaris for one camp) came through in every camp.
The other companies that provided ground and air transportation between countries or camp-to-camp were also efficient and convenient. Excellent trip!" Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"A very special trip to a very special place.
Well organised, lovely accommodation.
Transfers all worked, although one was a bit tight. One of the camps, Selinda Explorers is a new favourite!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Our Botswana Sep 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana between 20 Sep 2023 and 2 Oct 2023
"The whole trip was very well organised by Lucy, went very smoothly in Africa and was very much enjoyed. Unfortunately, our outward BA flight was delayed by over three hours and so we missed our Airlink connecting flight from Johannesburg to Maun but fortunately we were rebooked onto a later flight. Thanks to Lucy for reacting so quickly to our email, warning Airlink of the situation and ensuring Mack Air and our first camp at Lagoon were also aware. The service on the flights to and from Maun on Airlink was very good.
We stayed at four Kwando camps: Lagoon, Lebala, Mma Dinare and Splash. All provided very good and comfortable accommodation, food and facilities, friendly, welcoming and helpful staff; and, most importantly, excellent guiding and tracking, with plenty of time to view what was going on. It was good to be able to drive off road at all the camps which added immeasurably to the sightings; and it was rare for there to be more than one or two vehicles in one place at the same time.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip, our fourth with Expert Africa, and it met our objectives in terms of the animals we particularly wanted to see this time (cheetah and wild dogs) although we saw a very broad range of animals and birds."

"My Sep 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana between 8 Sep 2023 and 19 Sep 2023
"The trip as a whole worked really well.
The guidance received from Expert Africa was very helpful in deciding which camps we visited and all of them met or exceeded our expectations.
The arrangements in Botswana all worked efficiently." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Our Sep 2023 trip back to superb Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 6 Sep 2023 and 19 Sep 2023
"Once again our trip, organised by Expert Africa, went extremely smoothly.
One of our bags went on walkabout for 2 days on our way out but it was recovered fairly efficiently by Mack Air/&Beyond and delivered to our first camp (Savute under Canvas). But not a real problem since we always pack some of each others clothes in each bag.
This was our 4th safari in Botswana and our experience was very enjoyable overall. Everything went as planned and on-schedule, and we saw an incredible number of different animals. In fact, we probably had better sightings of Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Spotted Hyena than on our previous safaris." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"My September 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana between 31 Aug 2023 and 13 Sep 2023
"Probably the best safari experience we have had.
We particularly enjoyed the tracking off-road, the stunning game viewing and the very knowledgeable guides and trackers on the 3 concessions we visited. The camps were super, the staff were lovely and the connections by air were seamless.
We got to see our number one priority which was wild dogs and so much more besides. Notable was the number of leopard, elephants, lions and cheetah. Botswana is not the place to see rhino (having been poached heavily in recent years) or crocodiles (of which we saw surprisingly few), but otherwise the game is extensive.
The comparatively high cost of Botswana as a safari destination certainly paid off in terms of a truly memorable trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Keep doing what you do.
We found it very useful to be able to look at what sightings had been recorded from various locations, although we have been told some other agencies do not publish this information in case it helps inform poachers. How much truth there is in this, we do not know. But it may be worth looking into what evidence, if any, there is that it poses a risk." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
