"Very satisfactory"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 22 Sep 2014 and 8 Oct 2014
"All arrangements worked as clockwork (except one seat reservation of one leg of the flights but that was soon sorted out).

Lovely to be met at all stages of the journey, and thank you Ellie and Martha for all your help." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Excellent safari and Victoria Falls visit"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 6 Aug 2014 and 18 Aug 2014
"Very good - excellent game drives and walks, superb and knowledgeable guiding, excellent accommodation in wonderful situations with efficient and attentive staff. Combining a visit to spectacular Victoria Falls with two safari locations worked very well for us. The overall trip went without a hitch and we were very impressed with the way all our internal transfers were handled seamlessly by RPS's support staff on the ground. It has left us with lots of great memories." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"Wonderful trip"

I visited Malawi between 19 Jul 2014 and 1 Aug 2014
"Overall, we had an excellent holiday with beautiful, luxurious lodges, great settings and excellent staff. we enjoyed the varied experience, very efficient transfers, with everyone friendly and willing to help. We particularly enjoyed being able to customize our stopping points during transfers which gave us a broader view of Malawi and its friendly people.

We'd like to thank everyone for making our trip so enjoyable." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Malawi trip

"My Mar 2014 trip"

I visited Malawi between 18 Mar 2014 and 27 Mar 2014
"Just a shame that Blantyre was closed for my arrival date - the 6 hour drive from Lilongwe was tough after long flight out from the UK.

But having said that, Robin Pope Safaris made it as hassle free as possible.

Otherwise all was excellent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Malawi trip

"A fabulous two weeks"

I visited Malawi and 1 other country between 6 Sep 2013 and 20 Sep 2013
"Malawi was absolutely wonderful, one of our best holidays ever. Would love to go back some day.

Weather in Cape Town was variable, from sun to hail, through wind and rain, so we couldn't do a couple of things that we wanted to do (go up Table Mountain and visit Robben Island). We did see whales at Hermanus, which was on our to-do list, and penguins at Betty's Bay. City bus tours were good for getting to know the city. We were very glad we hired the car for two days as this enabled us to see the coast and the wine area.

All arrangements worked like clockwork, thanks a lot, Claire., for putting it all together for us." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Malawi trip

"My Jul 2013 trip"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 24 Jul 2013 and 9 Aug 2013
"We absolutely loved our time in Zambia. It wasn't just the poor room which disappointed at Kaya Mawa; it just did not live up to what we thought we had booked.

For the future we would take all email correspondence between our agent and us with us - by the time we arrived at the final leg of our holiday we ended up thinking we were wrong. We weren't." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2013 trip"

I visited Malawi between 23 Jul 2013 and 31 Jul 2013
"Interesting - African Parks are doing a fantastic job given the previous situation in the Reserve. I guess the trip is for people who want something different from their safari experience. In my view the Reseve will progress in the years to come, because African Parks do have a clearly laid out plan of development. In terms of game, they need some more cats in the Reserve, because the antelope population could support this.

The natural beauty of the Reserve is again fantastic, and a rather different experience from other places in Africa." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Malawi trip

"My Jun 2013 trip"

I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 21 Jun 2013 and 13 Jul 2013
"Everything Expert Africa arranged worked like clockwork with one exception when a camp messed up the schedule but Proflight sorted it out.

Our only confusion is where your letter to us said that all Zambian departure taxes had been paid by you but this was not accepted ny the airport or your representative at the airport when we flew to Malawi. Consequently after some hassle we paid the equivalent og USD78 in local currency as they only accepy Visa credit cards and I have Master Card. This was an unnecessary trauma that should have been avoided.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
