"Our Best Holiday Ever!"
I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 4 Feb 2018 and 19 Feb 2018
"Our trip was amazing. We went to 4 of the 5 countries of East Africa. Saw the gorillas in Uganda, swam with Whale Sharks in Tanzania, climbed Kilimanjaro, kissed giraffes at Giraffe Manor, and had the best safari experience at Laikipia and Masai Mara!"

"Amazing"
I visited Kenya between 31 Jan 2018 and 13 Feb 2018
"This was our first trip with Expert Africa and to Africa.
We probably did not know exactly what to expect. We would do some things differently if we were to return to Kenya. The game drives were amazing and all the guides were terrific.
Also, visiting a village while at Saruni Sambur , a school and the Maa Trust while at Nabisco was terrific. Horse back riding and climbing up to Pride Rock at Borana were unique and fun experiences.
Our last day in Nairobi, with a wonderful guide, was great. We had a lovely lunch and visited the Giraffe Center and the David Sheldrick Elephant Refuge. Meeting our Emoli, the elephant we adopted was truly a highlight." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

I visited Kenya between 27 Jan 2018 and 11 Feb 2018
"This was a wonderful safari, with smooth connections, the right kind of lodges and camps that met all of our needs, top-notch guiding, and plenty of wildlife (including a number of first-time sightings for us, as this was our first safari to East Africa)."

"Excellent"
I visited Kenya between 20 Jan 2018 and 31 Jan 2018
"The trip was very good indeed and, for the friends we went with it was an excellent experience for a first visit to Kenya.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No. It is first class and we wouldn't use any other company to travel to Africa." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Zanzibar break in Jan 18"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 17 Jan 2018 and 23 Jan 2018
"Actually rather disappointing. The trip notes were inadequate and despite assuring me that my coeliac condition had been passed to both Chumbe Island and Kholle Hotel, this was not the case. On the island that was not a problem as the food was mainly fish and salads but at the hotel it most certainly was a problem.
The Kholle House is a lovely boutique hotel but was not the most relaxing. see me earlier comments. Not what i expected. Very disappointed.
However the Lazizi hotel was a lovely but I did feel that the charges by Expert Africa for arranging this were high to excessive when looking at the hotel website." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Our dream holiday"
I visited Kenya between 3 Jan 2018 and 14 Jan 2018
"I think we've pretty much said it all in our previous comments. It was a perfect trip. Richard's knowledge of Kenya is unparalleled. He persuaded us to shape our trip to fit what we didn't even know we wanted. Great advice and in the planning he explained clearly how to view the trip, what we should expect and how it would pan out, without remotely spoiling the sense of discovery and surprise. In retrospect the only thing to have changed was probably to have spent a night in the city of Nairobi and one less day on the beach. Just because I love seeing cities at night. We did get a bit of that since our flight was very late in the evening as it happened. An extraordinary experience, we are indebted to you Richard and we will return to Kenya as soon as we can. Expert Africa are aptly named. Thanks to all who made it happen."

"My Nov 2017 trip"
I visited Kenya between 15 Nov 2017 and 15 Dec 2017
"I wanted to stay for 30 days at Tangulia Mara with Jackson as my guide for the entire period.
My stay was extraordinary - I was lucky enough to have the luxury or time and an exceptional guide at my side in a place where the wildlife never fails to demonstrate the cycle of life on a moment by moment basis" Read full review: 30 nights in Africa; 29 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2017 trip"
I visited Kenya between 29 Oct 2017 and 12 Nov 2017
"My trip as a whole was better than I could have hoped for. It was actually James Denny that organised the trip but he is off on his own adventure now. The service I got from him and Richard was excellent. Very helpful in understanding my requirements and organised a wonderful trip. Next time I'm in Africa I will not hesitate to use you again and would highly recommend you to anybody looking to do the same. Thank you for such a memorable experience."

"Wonderful safari in South Luangwa Park"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 15 Oct 2017 and 28 Oct 2017
"This was our second safari in South Luangwa Park, after an interval of 4 years. We knew the area to visit, relatively distant from the entrance to the Park, as the game is excellent but the game vehicles few so viewing is really good. With help from Expert Africa's Claire we chose 3 camps and they were all excellent. She encouraged us to include a small bush camp and we were pleased that she did as it was probably the best experience and our apprehension about the open air bathroom was misplaced as it was private and enclosed.
Claire was brilliant because she was able to change our three return flights after we had made our booking, to accommodate a private trip to/from Chipata that we had not been able to firm up initially. All our arrangements went smoothly other than delays caused by the airline - as she had provided the contact details of Expert Africa's ground agents in Nairobi we were able to phone and ensure they waited at the airport while our luggage was located."
