Great support and advice - as expected for a premium safari agent. Considered by us (and many friends) the very best safari agent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Our amazing Jul 2023 trip"
Everything went really smoothly and it was great knowing that Expert Africa had taken care of all the details along the way. We had more information about the camps (since as cell phone service, tipping policies, etc) than a lot of other guests we talked to who had used other travel agents, and it was great going in with so much stuff information.
See our comments for each camp for more details on our fantastic experience!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"My Jun 2023 trip"
Everyone went the extra mile to ensure this was a uniquely memorable experience for a seventy year old who's had his fair share of those in the past.
If you want to feel it's good to be alive give it a go under those enthralling Botswana skies.
One small piece of advice - when the sun's not around it gets very cold. Thermals, hat and gloves are useful supplements to the ubiquitous bush baby hot water bottles and ponchos." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 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.
