"A wonderful holiday"

I visited South Africa and 2 other countries between 31 Dec 2015 and 16 Jan 2016
"A wonderful time in Cape Town blessed with beautiful weather and England not losing a test match!

This was surpassed by my time in Rwanda - a fascinating, visually stunning country.

Seeing the Gorillas in Volcanoes National Park was an amazing experience and is definitely one I would like to repeat.

"My Oct 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 8 Oct 2015 and 15 Oct 2015
"This trip was a highlight of our travel experiences.

Nick was extremely helpful in pointing us in the right direction for camp selection from a large number of options. The camps were a perfect balance to the remainder of our trip which was a horseback safari in the Delta.

This was our second trip to Africa with Expert Africa and we will not hesitate to refer you to friends (we already have) and contact you when and if we return in the future. I loved not having to worry about anything throughout the entire trip. We were well taken care of from start to finish. Thank you.

"An African Trip to Remember!"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 2 Sep 2015 and 15 Sep 2015
"We have travelled to Africa quite a few times but this one was exceptional in that we stayed in some great hotels & camps & we saw some wonderful game in Zambia. We believe that the expertise of 'Expert Africa' helped in making our trip that much more rewarding & enjoyable!

Claire's suggestion that we travel to Zambia in early September was absolutely correct as it was already getting very hot.

It was also a bonus meeting Chris McIntyre & his wife at Mfuwe Airport at the end of our trip!!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 1 Sep 2015 and 14 Sep 2015
"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip of a lifetime we couldn't have asked for more.

The itinerary was perfect and many thanks to Megan from Expert Africa for her help and knowledge.

My one and only comment on my whole trip would be that our journey home from Abu Dhabi could have been changed and we could have flown back to Manchester which would have been a little easier.

"Great Safari in Botswana."

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 27 Aug 2015 and 11 Sep 2015
"Wild dogs were on the top of our wish list and we saw them on our second game drive. Other great sightings as well: leopard cheetah with cubs, lion with very small cubs and so many other animals.

Stayed at three different camps, all in different terrains making for different habitats. Good food, wonderful people. Relaxing at Quilalea, mozambique rounded of the trip in a fantastic way." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"My May 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 25 May 2015 and 10 Jun 2015
"Trip of a lifetime

Loved all the camps in different ways but preferred the Kawando Group because it is locally owned and the staff seemed more genuine and accommodating. Just a different and more relaxed atmosphere than the corporate owned.

Flying from camp to camp was so relaxing unlike our previous trip to Tanzania where we were on bumpy roads most of the day

Everything went so smoothly with no delays and the camps were even more impressive than we ever imagined

It was simply the best in every way

"My Apr 2015 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 2 Apr 2015 and 11 Apr 2015
"We had an excellent trip. Of course the object and highlight is to see and enjoy the Okavango delta and its wildlife which we did absolutely.

The organisational skills and expertise of Expert Africa who also gave sound advice on choice of safari lodges, allowed this to be a pleasurable and stress-free experience.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Carry on ! I wonder if there is any scope to encourage lodges to construct hides. Spending time waiting to see what comes by a waterhole say would be good for photographers and others on occasion." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"very much enjoyed"

I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 15 Feb 2015 and 7 Mar 2015
"The Sunvil section of our trip went very smoothly as did our unscheduled previous week at Hout Bay. We had no incidence of attemped theft nor did we at any time feel threatened.The main concern of the S.African tourist industry seems to blame falling visitor numbers on the European perception that Africa = Ebola (5k miles away!!) and that every time you get out of your car you are at risk.

We found the people friendly and helpful. The exchange rate is also ,very attractive.

We feel that this was one of our best holidays ever and we would love to go back.

Thanks Claire for organising it so well.
