Not really. Overall trip and logistics were excellent." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"Except for the very bad experience with Bidvest Car Hire (hired through Expert Africa), once again, we had very good experiences using Expert Africa for assisting with planning and booking the trip. We got highly qualified, fast and efficient help from Tracy Lederer from Expert Africa putting together a good trip to this part of Africa, where we have traveled may times, although were were late out booking.

We look forward to use Expert Africa again (our travel agent for the Southern parts of Africa)." Read full review: 29 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"A perfectly well organised trip.

Megan is a very pleasant and efficient person to organise a trip. She is very careful on details and she is really making an effort to understand her clients' preferences.

"I go back to Kwando camps every year. They are just the best.

Not at all chi chi, but great service given from the heart.

"There were a few problems but nothing serious enough to spoil the holiday which was superb.

We keep going back to the Kwando Camps because, whilst they are very comfortable, their emphasis is still on wildlife and they still use both a guide and a tracker, drive off-road and after dark. This makes the holiday much more exciting and much more interesting because it is a fascinating to watch the interaction between the guide and the tracker and see how they work together. As a consequence there are some amazing sightings, although some are as a result of communication between jeeps.

We keep coming back and each time we have a fantastic time with many new experiences and sightings of animals we have not seen before, particularly on night drives. We will be back!

No as I have always found Expert Africa's staff very knowledgeable and helpful but Lucy, who I worked with to sort out this trip, was particularly helpful and a delight to deal with.

I have, and will continue to recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Our intention was to make this a one time bucket list trip, but now we are talking about going back! It was truly a wonderful experience.

Maruska did a fabulous job of arranging this and was so patient in answering all of our questions." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"We had a wonderful holiday and recommend Expert Africa without reservation. We were glad that we went to Victoria Falls at the end of the holiday, as this was the most relaxing section of our trip." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"We have been to Africa before with Expert Africa and we knew what we wanted to see this time.

We then spent a long time with Richard Trillo and his team discussing options and then left it to him to put together an extended trip to hopefully tick all the boxes on our wish list.

ALL BOXES TICKED, this was a fantastic journey through 5 African countries, we have seen and experienced so much, so a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Expert Africa for arranging this for us.

No, just carry on doing what you're doing now - it would be very hard to improve what you're already doing so well." Read full review: 44 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari

"We spent the whole time with Andrew as our guide, after a one-night stopover in Maun, and so all our comments are in the mobile safari review.

It was a great trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
