"August safari in Botswana"

I visited Botswana between 5 Aug 2016 and 12 Aug 2016
"We had a fantastic week in Botswana in August 2016, as part of our honeymoon, and couldn't be happier with the service provided by Expert Africa in providing suggestions, making the arrangements, and ensuring smooth execution of each stage of the trip."

"Another lovely Namibian holiday"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 2 Jul 2016 and 16 Jul 2016
"This was our second self-drive holiday in Namibia, so we were all looking forward to the beautiful scenery, wonderful friendly welcomes, and very high standard of accommodation even in the bush, which we had enjoyed previously and we were not disappointed anywhere!
Very well organised, all meetings, border crossings etc worked.
Manageable driving distances each day (more tarmac than the West part of Namibia).

We mostly did our own drives in the reserves and did not see leopard and cheetah this time. Etosha is fantastic but it is so vast it is difficult to do it justice: you may need a lot of time to go from one waterhole to another if you arrive at a deserted one.

Some slightly odd details: e.g. suggesting laundry possible at Mundulea (it isn't), note Ndhovu runs on Botswana time." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My Jun 2016 trip"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 6 Jun 2016 and 24 Jun 2016
"In short, we felt like we had died and gone to heaven (and one of us almost pulled it off and went!). Maruska's expert advice, planning, and execution fulfilled our dreams and concepts of the perfect African safari. This unforgettable holiday started with us being whisked through the diplomatic lanes (by the delightful Wilderness Safari representative) in the Windhoek airport, and every experience that followed caused us to continually pinch ourselves ( I, 54 years old, even did cartwheels after sliding down the roaring dunes on the way to the skeleton coast).

Although we never imagined we would need to contact Maruska or Expert African on our trip, a surprise, unfortunate medical emergency caused Maruska to be contacted by our private guide Andrew Harkness. She immediately emailed me, expressing her sincere concerns and willingness to help in any way possible. She expediently helped me with the documentation of the cancelled portion of our trip, and all of her follow up communication has demonstrated her exceptional professionalism and her personal touch. We highly recommend her services and would use her again in a heartbeat!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We think you have a sterling operation, which we will recommend to everyone we know who is considering a trip to Africa. Thank you Chris McIntyre for your guide books and for heading this superlative travel service!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"Experience of a lifetime!"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 22 May 2016 and 4 Jun 2016
"We had attempted to book a two way stay with a car hire for a good part of it, and the first few either refused or discouraged that idea even though our daughter is serving for two years in Botswana. Maruska was a pleasure to deal with, encouraged and supported what we wanted to do, and pulled together a seamless trip from start to finish.

The transfers by Wild Horizons were spot on and she worked to find the exact vehicle we wanted. All of our accommodation bookings were perfect. The only wrinkle we experienced was the car hire company who claimed they never received a voucher they needed and tried yo charge our card a 1000 deposit, requiring several calls to expertafrica to clear the issue up" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"My Oct 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 19 Oct 2015 and 1 Nov 2015
"Incredible.

Attention to every detail from the first conversation with Megan to our departure from Victoria Falls.
We could not have asked for better service. Expert Africa knows what it is doing.

Very Satisfactory would be excellent if that were a choice.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I really can't think of anything to change.

Megan was responsive, knowledgable, and open to discussion." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Botswana - Trip of a Lifetime! May 2015"

I visited Botswana between 26 May 2015 and 6 Jun 2015
"How do we even begin?! As our very first experience of Africa this was an absolutely incredible trip. The camps we stayed at were fantastic, we saw everything we came to see (and more!) and the Delta is an even more stunning location that we could have imagined.

The logistics around the whole operation were seamless - we didn't have to worry about a single element of transport as it was all expertly taken care of. We felt very looked after and ultimately very relaxed!

In all, there is nothing here that we could have reasonably asked for to make this trip any better. Thank you guys for a truly memorable trip. We look forward to booking with you again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Exceptional experience."

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 14 Apr 2015 and 23 Apr 2015
"I cannot say enough to about this trip.

So many truly exceptional experiences, so many kind, warm people, the beauty of the region is astounding as is the amount of wildlife to be viewed. The diversity of the forests, grasses, plants and trees is also spectacular. All the guides and trackers were knowledgeable and so much fun to be with. There were nice connections and nice moments.

Without a doubt I will return to this area and without a doubt I will use Expert Africa.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really. Nick was always so timely, informative and attentive. It has been a pleasure working with him over this past year. Also, it is nice to have found a company where I can refer people and be assured that they will receive the best treatment.

Thank you all so much." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
