"My May 2025 trip"
"My Apr 2025 trip"
Everything ran so smoothly and was organized seamlessly. All of our drivers and guides were courteous, on-time, knowledgeable and friendly.
We only had a bit of a disagreement with the driver from the Kasane airport to the Zimbabwe border. He kept telling us that the cost of the visa was going to be much more than I knew it was going to be. Probably an honest mistake but it was worked out when we got to immigration and paid the appropriate amount.
Otherwise, everything was fabulous!
We absolutely enjoyed everything! Thank you very much!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"Our Apr 2025 Botswana trip was fantastic! "
We had waited 26 years to take our trip to the Okavango Delta and we were not disapponted.
Adventerous, exciting, restful, fun, educational, beautiful, this trip provided us this and so much more.
Each camp varied in setting, style and safari.
Anton ensured our trip was tailored to our interests and expectations.
The staff at each of the camps were welcoming, professional and personable . Logistic support was outstanding and appreciated. Travel between camps were on time and people were there to greet us at every step." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
"My Apr 2025 trip"
We reached out to Sabina a bit last minute, but she was very accommodating. She did a great job understanding our goals for the trip, and suggesting options that aligned with those goals.
Two hiccups in our trip made us especially grateful for the support of Expert Africa. First, our flight from the US was unfortunately cancelled, and the rebooked option got us in one day later. Sabina seamlessly coordinated with our first lodge and flight teams to adjust our schedule.
Secondly, unfortunately due to the heavy rains and flooding in Namibia, Serra Cafema was forced to close temporarily. This happened while we were in country and had limited wifi. Tracy (Sabina was at a site visit) jumped right in, sharing the news and immediately offering alternative options. She negotiated private transport to get to the new camp, all while keeping us informed, but letting us still enjoy the trip. As a result, our trip felt seamless and we didn't have to worry, for which we are so grateful.
The local country knowledge and thorough vetting of hotels (especially the full lodge reports) were incredibly helpful in building our itinerary. The coverage while we were on our trip ensured we were supported when unfortunately some changes were required.
We absolutely recommend Expert Africa, and have in fact already recommended Expert Africa to multiple family and friends.
Thank you Sabina and team!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"My March 2025 trip"
The trip was very well organised and everything worked seamlessly. We booked with very little notice and Tracy pulled it together very quickly for us. We also completely reversed our itinerary at the last minute, probably causing hair to be torn out but Tracy never showed it.
We used the Bradt guide constantly and it was always with us. I will try to email in my very small contributions/changes that we found along the way.
I especially loved the north of Namibia this time. It reminded me of my time in Zimbabwe 35 years ago and I was surprised by how little it had changed. I'm a big fan of the rainy season and love visiting in the green season. We were surprised and delighted by how much game we saw, and of course the birds were incredible. The Delta was magical and Shinde was a very good 2nd choice since Kwara didn't have availability. We loved Shinde and had some great sightings.
The lodges were very comfortable, some were luxurious, more so than I would choose on my own, but perfect for us as a couple. Hugh likes more comfort than me and would like to have known in advance which lodges didn't have air conditioning.
Overall it was another great trip. Thank you Expert Africa" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
"My March 2025 trip"
"Botswana - March 2025"
This was certainly not the case as we were hoping to see Cheetah and Wild Dogs and achieved this dream on the first two days, seeing a pack of 27 Wild Dogs and 4 Cheetah brothers.
We would thoroughly recommend travelling to Botswana in March, the vegetation is beautifully green and lush, there are many birds and insects to watch and the wildlife experiences we had were incredible and way beyond our expectations.
