"Okavango July 2016"

I visited Botswana between 21 Jul 2016 and 1 Aug 2016

Needless to say, the Okavango Delta, the camps, the game, and the people all surpassed our expectations.

"Namibia, Botswana and Zambia July/Aug 2016"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 19 Jul 2016 and 14 Aug 2016
"We were away for a month on what was undoubtedly the trip of a lifetime.

We have learned so much about a part of the world unknown to us prior to this trip and it has certainly had an impact on the perspective that we now take about certain issues. We met some wonderful people, both inhabitants of the countries and fellow travellers, and the animals and birds that we encountered were magnificent.

It was humbling and impressive and I wish that everyone could be lucky enough to have such a fantastic opportunity.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

At the point of booking there were times when Tracy was clearly very busy and we had to wait for responses to our questions. Her passion for Namibia and Botswana always came through and we felt fortunate to have the benefit of this.

We had need to contact her a couple of times while we were away and her response on these occasions was extremely prompt, thorough, helpful and reassuring - we were very appreciative of her care and attention we received." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 15 Jul 2016 and 4 Aug 2016
"Have nothing to add beyond writing that Maruska was tremendous to work with. Well done!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The only suggestion would be to have people drive out the east gate of Etosha (which we did) and south through Otavi on the way to Mundulea Reserve, rather than you suggested departure through the south date of Etosha. Although more gravel road, you see more game." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Far Beyond Our Expectations"

I visited Botswana between 6 Jul 2016 and 12 Jul 2016
"Feedback by Hitoshi E.

Good Points:
1 Firsthand Information
Expert Africa offers firsthand information to their customers. Information is the latest and non-biased.

2 Quick Responses
Sarah answered my queries swiftly despite a time difference between London and Tokyo. She also gave me appropriate options. Without her professional support, I could not make this Botswana safari tour come true. Thank you so much!

3 Flexibility and Efficiency
When I asked Chris to change my itinerary, he rearranged my trip plan perfectly in a short time. I was amazed at his flexibility and efficiency. Thanks a lot, Chris!

To be improved: Warning for Coldness Needed. I wish I were informed more thoroughly of how cold it is in July in Botswana (especially during morning safaris). I brought a light down jacket. But it was not enough. I needed a heavier one. .

As I told Chris on the phone, I am a stage-four lung cancer patient. My doctor said I would probably be able to live another six months or so. If I live longer than that, I will try our second African safari tour next year. Then I wish to travel with Expert Africa again. See you then!

Feedback by Kazuko Enda

We are glad to have chosen Expert Africa.

Reliability was the No. 1 criterion.
Good points: quick responses to our inquiries, perfect arrangements, good reference documents, and emergency response.

This trip was to be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but now we wish to do it again!" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"A fantastic and memorable trip. A very big thank you to the team at Expert Africa but - of course - especially to Sarah Glyde who liaised with me throughout the planning of this safari.

Thank you Sarah for your patience and ideas and i must say, together we managed a trip of lifetime here.

Thanks again Sarah." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari
