"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2022 and 13 Sep 2022
"We have been fortunate to travel the world, and this trip is on our very short list of the best ever - top 5 for sure!

Expert Africa could not have been more accommodating as our plans changed several times over the course of a couple of years due to Covid and other changes in people's lives. Tracy was very patient and understanding and we loved working with her. She is a gem!

I would highly recommend Tracy and Expert Africa!

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 8 Aug 2022 and 22 Aug 2022
"This trip was three years in the planning and two years of patiently waiting for our borders to reopen. Expert Africa's team member Maruska AdyeRowe was amazing and very reassuring when we were hesitant to travel during COVID. All her planning and booking was flawless and we very much appreciate that she could make all our African dreams come true.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Everything was perfectly planned. Thank you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Our Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 7 Aug 2022 and 20 Aug 2022
"This was another great trip from Expert Africa. It was originally supposed to happen in 2021, but it was well worth waiting for.

The way that Lucy organised the order of our visits, and the choice of camps that she recommended was excellent. Everything ran very smoothly and we saw so much game at the first camp we were almost spoiled for the rest! The camps all had different features and we enjoyed the different experiences at all of them. I had an ambition to see Wild Dogs which was fulfilled, and the Chobe NP probably has more elephants than you could possibly imagine.

The Guide at Linyanti Bush Camp rather let the side down, and I have elaborated in our detailed feedback on this camp, but that shouldn't detract from it being a lovely camp with great camp staff.

The only slight criticism is that we hadn't expected the ground to basically be sand which meant very, very bumpy rides, and that we didn't have the best footwear. This was very different ground to other safari venues we have visited - but we managed okay - might just be worth forewarning folk if they've not been to Botswana before.

Overall a fantastic holiday, and we shall of course go with Expert Africa on future journeys to that great continent.

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 6 Aug 2022 and 21 Aug 2022
"Overall a fantastic trip staying at four camps in the Okavango Delta and Zimbabwe with an overnight stop at the Victoria Falls hotel.

We had been to the camp in the Delta before and knew what to expect but it was just as good the second time around. It was our first time in Zim, visiting one camp in Hwange and two in Mana Pools, each was very good in its own way and we would certainly go back again.

All the logistics worked pretty seamlessly.

Thanks very much to the Expert Africa team for putting it together for us and rearranging it twice, just a shame we couldn't do it in 2020 when we originally planned." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our August 2022 trip of a lifetime"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 4 Aug 2022 and 21 Aug 2022
"This is our second trip organized by Expert Africa, and once again, it surpassed our already high expectations.

Despite a complicated itinerary, it went very smoothly, thanks to Expert Africa's partnerships with excellent companies and lodges, but also and especially thanks to the exceptional, proactive, meticulous preparation and guidance by Maruska and the Expert Africa team.

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 2 Aug 2022 and 20 Aug 2022
"Little more to add to what I have said about each lodge/element individually. The whole trip was wonderful and exceeded expectations.

The booking process was really efficient, informative and painless thanks to Tracy's help and availability throughout. I had a particular itinerary in mind but was not sure whether it would work in practice. With Tracy's help it became a reality and the girls and I had a very memorable trip of a lifetime with lots of photographs to enjoy for years afterwards.

I couldn't fault any of it - all the connections worked well and no complaints about any aspect.

Thank you so much for all the help and making it a reality. I really hope it will have given my girls a taste for travel in the future." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
