"August 2016 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 17 Aug 2016 and 30 Aug 2016
"This was a trip of a lifetime for the 6 of us. I had researched and started planning the trip about a year beforehand. Expert Africa were tirelessly patient with me and must have put at least 6 or 7 different itinerates together before we eventually got to one we thought covered everything. The trip was beyond all expectations. The wildlife, camps, food and staff were 5 star and we were made to feel welcome and treated like kings the whole time.

IF there was one small criticism it would be that we didnt know we needed a visa to enter into Livingstone. So after an all night flight and a connection, we had a long 3 hour wait in a crowded and hot area waiting for a visa. There was much confusion as we did not know what we were meant to be queuing for and if they would accept a credit card. It was a worry at the time so it would have been nice to have been warned or to have applied for the visa in the UK but it really didn't spoil our trip in any shape or form.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Expert Africa were recommended to us from friends. I also called other firms but yours was the best for efficiency and expert knowledge about each area an each camp. Megan was brilliant at the beginning and she really tailored the trip to our needs with 4 teenagers with suggestions and ideas.

The trip was fantastically organised and the itinerary was followed to the letter. The only two things that were slightly different were that Selina has showers and not bucket showers anymore and the need to have a visa to get into Livingstone.

Other than that Thank You Very Much and I have recommended you to several people already :)" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Aug trip 2016"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 12 Aug 2016 and 29 Aug 2016
"Trip of a lifetime managed with absolute precision by Expert Africa from start to finish. They were a pleasure to deal with and the whole trip was smooth and trouble free at every point.

There was always someone to meet us at every airport to assist us with luggage and ticketing which was unexpected but made all the travelling completely stress free. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and will definitely be using them again for our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Return to Namibia"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 29 Jul 2016 and 11 Aug 2016
"This was our second trip to Namibia and our fourth trip to Africa, previously visiting South Africa, Kenya and Swaziland.

After arriving in Windhoek we made our way to the Caprivi strip, going into Botswana and Zambia.

The mainly tar roads were very easy driving, with sand tracks to all the lodges we visited.

Our 4x4 was supplied by Bidvest and was a free upgrade on the vehicle we had booked. Picking up and dropping off the vehicle was easy and the staff were helpful and well informed.

All the lodges we used were excellent ,as were the pre_arranged transfers and river crossings.

We could not fault any aspect of this holiday and could recommend a self drive holiday to any of these countries.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We were pleased with every aspect of our booking, the quality of accommodation, the transfers and car hire. It is rare to return from a holiday without having something that disappointed but we could not fault a thing!

Will recommend Expert Africa to anyone visiting this part of the World.

Many thanks." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
