"March 10 days in the Cape"

I visited South Africa between 4 Mar 2016 and 15 Mar 2016
"Expert Africa triumph again!

Our remit was flora and landscape which we got brilliantly, but we never expected such luxury and fine dining. Many thanks for all you have done to make our short stay so wonderful and memorable.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I didn't really use the brochure much and the web site not at all, as your team is always so well informed that we took their advice and you came up trumps again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip

"Valentine's at the cricket!"

I visited South Africa between 30 Jan 2016 and 17 Feb 2016
"Having visited South Africa briefly on several occasions we decided to make it our focus this time. The weather was good, though very, very hot at Kwandwe.

We had a good range of accommodation and the exchange rate meant that everything was extremely good value once we got there. We'd chosen our own accommodation at Oudtshoorn which we suggest Expert Africa look at for future travellers.

Cape Town was, as always, lovely!

Already booked to go back next year!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"Wonderful holiday"

I visited South Africa between 26 Jan 2016 and 16 Feb 2016
"Many thanks to Expert Africa for putting together such a good package with an excellent variety of places to visit and things to see.

Our 3 weeks has given us a taste of the country and we highly recommend to others. We thought our previous trip arranged by yourselves to Namibia could not be equalled but you proved us wrong. Many thanks AGAIN." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"Our Jan 2016 SA Adventure"

I visited South Africa between 26 Jan 2016 and 16 Feb 2016
"A great success. We were delighted with Expert Africa. ( as expected after our experience in Namibia five years ago ) and would have no hesitation in recommending you to anybody wishing a great experience in Africa.

Clair and Tracy were always Very helpful and catered for our every need. Our reservations about Mimosa Lodge were easily resolved and did not reflect adversely on Expert Africa or its employees.

All in all we were hugely satisfied with the whole trip. Thank you all for you expertise and hard work to give us a memorable holiday.

"Re-acquainting ourselves with SA"

I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 23 Oct 2015 and 8 Nov 2015
"It had been about nine years since we were last in Southern Africa and we had the pleasurable task of introducing some members of my family to this wonderful part of the world for the first time. It was a bit of a challenge to chart a course of safaris and 'chill-out' in the Cape when you have a combination of first-timers and a couple of 'old lags' to keep happy.

With the patient and knowledgeable Tracy at Expert Africa to help with suggestions and alternatives, I found the task was not as daunting as it might have been even when some members threw a bit of a curve ball at the end of the process, an eventuality that Tracy handled with professional grace and efficiency.

My partner and I have been clients of Expert Africa since Sunvil brought Chris in to broaden its product range. This he has delivered with peerless professionalism and has built a knowledgeable and very competent team over the years who, in this client's opinion, provide the best service available in the UK. Well done all and thanks to Tracy again." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Glad We Chose South Africa"

I visited South Africa between 21 Oct 2015 and 7 Nov 2015
"Seeing that this was something of an instant arrangement, Claire worked miracles and came up with the perfect hotels and a perfect route. We started with the splendour of Grootbos and the whales and finished with the spectacular views of Long Beach and more whales!

Because of South Africa's bad press, we were a little concerned, but at no point did we feel unsafe. Everyone we met was very proud of their country and deservedly so. At times we had to remind ourselves we were not in the Home Counties; it was so well-kempt, smooth running and friendly. The quality of hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and shops is very high. Everyone strives to give the best service possible. The political issues that we hear about are evident, but not defining of a country which is looking forwards not back.

It was a great trip, wonderful hotels, beautiful scenery and welcoming people. We would happily recommend a visit to anyone else.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Our second excellent trip with Expert Africa and I really do not see how your service could be improved (Just a minor point - a better map would have helped our travels!)" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"We loved it"

I visited South Africa between 24 Dec 2014 and 11 Jan 2015
"We had a great time even though we both had flu!!!

We enjoyed the different character of the lodges, this was our second time with Expert Africa in South Africa and you have taken us to Namibia as well
For us the treats were Bushmans Kloof and Kwandwe and we love Cape Town. We were happier in town than out at Camps Bay.

We'd lile a CapeTown/Kwandwe/somewhere else holiday next time - I was looking at your brochure in secret today!

so Thank You Tracy and all the staff in South Africa (apart from the misery at De Hoop) We had a fantastic time

"My Oct 2014 trip"

I visited South Africa and 2 other countries between 1 Oct 2014 and 21 Oct 2014
"First of all we must complement Expert Africa for helping us choose where to go and where to stay, we have had a fantastic time, so many memories . . . .

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
