"My May 2025 trip"
Any mishaps was not on her." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"My Apr 2025 trip"
I can’t imagine booking a trip to Africa without going through Expert Africa and Megan, so thank you Megan for all your work in making this trip happen and for our previous two trips." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"My Feb 2025 trip"
EA prepared us very well and provided everything we needed to have a memorable trip. In fact, we recommended EA to fellow travellers who were less fortunate in their preparations.
We started planning our next EA trip on the plane home." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"Green Season Botswana"
It was great to see Botswana in a different light, albeit we never got any rain and moody skies! Climate change makes the seasonal rains far more unpredictable.
On the downside, low season meant fewer camp mates, and chatting around the table is part of the fun of safari, plus last minute camp changes due to maintenance was not something we had expected nor want again - a free upgrade is not always a positive.
Great service from Lucy and the Expert Africa team once again." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"My Nov 2024 trip to the Delta "
Thanks Expert Africa!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana Okavango Trip Oct/Nov 2024 trip"
Although this was the first safari without my wife it was still very enjoyable and probably one of the best. Usually we booked our safaris a year in advance but this time in response to the special offers for safaris in Botswana the trip was booked less than six weeks beforehand.
The advice in planning of the trip and developing the itinerary with Expert Africa was easy and smooth.
From the time I arrived in Maun and until I left for home everything went to plan." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"Our Oct 2024 trip"
The camps we visited and their staff were all first class. Having both a guide and a tracker (a feature of Kwando safaris) worked very well - and they were more than happy to educate us when tracking the big cats. They were able to spot and identify animals and birds from a long way away (how do they do that!).
Our thanks to Amanda for recommending the camps we stayed in. They were excellent choices - all a little different from each other but all at the consistently high standard of guiding, accommodation, and food and drink.
We would be very happy to return to Lagoon, Splash and Rra Dinare and would recommend all three most highly.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
This is only the second time we've used Expert Africa, and on both occasions have found the company to be excellent.
We identified only one area for improvement - more for the safari company than Expert Africa - and that is to try to allocate people to safari jeeps based on their interests rather than just their arrival date. We realise this might prove difficult, but it is an area we feel merits a review." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2024 trip"
"My May 2024 trip"
Sometimes pre-trip communication could have been more prompt." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"My May 2024 trip"
In our feedback form in Footsteps we did say to Ker &Downey that they should invest in more modern vehicles particularly since they had that long journey to and from the airstrip and water based activities.
The game everywhere exceeded our expectations, the guiding was really excellent and all the staff throughout the trip were welcoming,kind and thoughtful. We would not hesitate to recommend Botswana as a brilliant safari destination." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
