Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Your website is okay, but we actually used a different one to look up details and comments on the same places you offered. That site was more visually compelling and easier to navigate. Having said that we still used your service -- and our overall experience with you was very good." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"A great six week trip to South Africa"
A good balance between sightseeing, wildlife, wining & dining, safari and walking." Read full review: 42 nights in Africa; 34 on a South Africa trip
"My Oct 2014 trip"
Everything worked like clockwork - flights, transfers and car hire.
A bonus was being able to dip out of the programme to stay with my sister for a couple of days.
Each element of the holiday - Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, the Cape were all different but enjoyable in their own way.
One thing that worked particularly well was to have the leisurely stop at Victoria Falls at the beginning of the holiday, and the leisurely shopping stop in Cape Town at the end." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip
"My Sep 2014 trip"
They were all extremely friendly and helpful and we were able to learn a little of Namibian culture. Also, the wildlife was amazing.

We were just amazed. Everyone was where they were to be when they were to be. Africa is a really special place and I thought we lived in a really special place. The trip was great and Maruska gave us the best advice. We met so many people staying at the camps for just two days complaining that they were always on the move. One really should stay for three. That was a great piece of advice.
I really cannot think of anything one could do better - it was like I said earlier - perfect. You all know what you're doing. So glad I got Chris's book on Botswana and found you. Thank you so, so much.
Last question - so now that one has been there how do you keep from returning again and again? I think Africa has hooks and keeps you coming back again and again." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"A Magical Experience!"
Based on this experience, we're committed to returning to Botswana at some point in the future, perhaps with other family members in tow.
Nick and Expert Africa could not have been more helpful and patient as we felt our way through the booking process, and the result was a truly memorable & magical experience.

Of course, I'd suggest you jump on BA and sort out their "confirmation" requirement, and I'd also recommend pricing "business/first-class" as the primary choice of seating, rather than as the "default."
All in all, a truly special adventure for Anna & me...Thank You!!!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari
