"Outstanding safaris, holiday of a lifetime"
I visited Botswana between 17 Sep 2023 and 28 Sep 2023
"If I could give Expert Africa 11 or of 10, I would!
Lucy was fabulous - knowledgeable, careful and a good listener too.
The result was the holiday of a lifetime, filled with memories we will never forget.

"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able to look at what sightings had been recorded from various locations, although we have been told some other agencies do not publish this information in case it helps inform poachers.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

"My Jul 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 26 Jul 2023 and 5 Aug 2023
"Our second trip with Expert Africa and it certainly lived up to expectations.
Lucy put together a great itinerary for Victoria Falls and Boswana with a variety of (very nice) accommodations, activities and modes of transfer between destinations and camps, including a boat transfer. The trip went very well, was totally absorbing, and we were delighted with our wildlife sightings, especially the wild dogs!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"My Jul 2023 trip to Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 22 Jul 2023 and 31 Jul 2023
"Outstanding safari very close to nature.
Expert Africa gave great advice choosing the right camps and guides fitting to our aspirations. Good combination of 2 camps with different wildlife and highly engaged and competent guides.
Logistics worked very well.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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

"My June 2023 trip"
I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 31 May 2023 and 19 Jun 2023
"Start to finish, this was an amazing trip. The guidance, planning and details worked into the trip by Maruska helped to make it so.
I am an independent traveler with considerable experience in Africa (45 countries on the continent) and usually make my own arrangements--or make things up as I go--but on the recommendation of a friend--and on a short fuse for putting it all together--I reached out to Maruska for help and am glad that I did.
Lodging, safaris, meals, and movements along the way were all excellent because of her expert guidance. This is one of the best experiences I have had on the continent.
This was the first experience for my wife in southern Africa and her first safari trips. It was a perfect introduction for her and memorable for both of us.
No problems. No worries. No issues or complaints." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"My May 2023 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 5 other countries between 28 May 2023 and 3 Jul 2023
"A few thoughts I had: I think it would be better to have a minimum of 3 nights at each camp or lodge as I found 2 nights was not enough especially as I lost a day due to a flight cancellation/postponement. If I'd had 3 nights at Plantation Lodge I could have still done the Ngorongoro crater safari. I know there are cost implications but in hindsight it is worth it for a better experience. And Plantation Lodge was my favourite accommodation and I only got one night there!
I would also prefer to stay in camps that are not too long a drive from the airstrips. I found more than one hour quite difficult as you just want to get there and it can also be a long drive back to camp after a safari. I would consider this if I was doing another trip.
Needless to say I preferred the luxury camps in Botswana which had a pool and included drinks and laundry, although I realise they cost more, and I did enjoy the other camps which felt closer to the wildlife etc. as a contrast. Paying for drinks and laundry was not expensive so that did not put me off.
The support and help from my Expert Africa agents with the few challenges I encountered was wonderful and
I can't speak highly enough of the quality of your company. Of course I don't know how you compare with others but having met agents from other companies and having feedback from other guests at the camps I felt very glad that I had chosen EA.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps to warn travellers about the potential for things to go wrong such as flight cancellations and injuries and talk through what to do in these situations. i know this in included in your written material but it is a lot to take in especially when having to get visas and vaccinations in preparation for the trip. I had read the information but still felt stressed when things happened. However your responses were so helpful and reassuring which helped me to calm down. Big thank you to Chris in this regard - I could only nominate one agent above but it is the sign of a good manager/owner to be prepared to step in out of hours to help a client."

" May 2023 - Central Kalahari and the Salt Pans"
I visited Botswana between 2 May 2023 and 14 May 2023
"Usually you remember a safari by the wildlife sightings and interactions. In the case of the Central Kalahari and the Kalahari salt pans we will remember the diverse topography and amazing landscapes. That said in the Central Kalahari we have never seen so many Giraffe and Oryx and equally in the Salt Pans the Wilderbeest were in huge numbers."
