"My 2016 Africa Trip"
Having done 2 safaris before, we had high expectations, but this trip really delivered.
Botswana is an amazing place and the Safari experience there is totally unspoiled and genuine, and gave us many memorable experiences.
Our choice of the 5 camps in Botswana plus the final two in Zambia worked really well, giving us a huge amount of variety. Originally we though that 17 days might be too long, but there were so many different things to see and do that we kept wanting to keep going!

"Our Rwanda/Botswana trip feedback"
Great itinerary from Expert Africa - good variety of camps and length of stays were perfect.
Our main Expert Africa contact was actually Megan, not Tracy, but she is not in the pick list.
It would have been nice to have received a phone call on returning from the trip to ask us how it had been.
Our guide Theo was excellent and negotiated two fabulous groups for our gorilla treks." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"My Sep 2016 trip"
Although overall the trip was highly enjoyable, we can now say that we have been to Botswana but will not be returning as it seemed to miss the wow factor. This was mainly down to the game viewing.
We appreciate that it is nature and so cannot predict these things and are already looking forward to our next African adventure" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2016 trip"
We had a wonderful holiday and any criticisms are intended to be purely constructive. These comments are in the light of us having now been on six safaris.
One of the reasons we chose Expert Africa is that we travelled to Namibia several years ago and had excellent advice from Chris McIntyre when he was at Sunvil. The book that you sent us on Botswana that Chris had written was invaluable and very much appreciated. Thank you Chris for including so much detail.
Well done Expert Africa for arranging a great holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

We were very pleased with the service received from Lucy at Expert Africa." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2016 trip"
In making our decision on routing and camps we dealt with Nick who left the company before our holiday. Sarah took over and was very helpful and professional.
Botswana is amazing and a special experience but at a special price.
I would, and have already, recommended Expert Africa to others." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"Another exceptional trip to Botswana"
Whilst we did not see so many of some of the big cats we saw things which we have never seen before, such as a lion climbing a tree as well as a cheetah climbing a tree. We have never seen so many large herds of elephants. The numbers were exceptionally large.
We also had excellent sightings of various wild dog packs, some with pups as well as some of the smaller mammals, such as a bushbaby and a honey badger trying to dig out a mouse. What makes Kwando camps special is that they use a tracker as well as a guide and seeing them work together is fascinating, adding an extra dimension to the experience.
For many reasons it was a holiday to remember.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No, your brochure and website have a lot of helpful information and your staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. They are able to fill in any information gaps and knowing the various camps are able to advise on the best options.
We are very happy with the service we have received and would certainly recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari
