I look forward to coming back, and would not hesitate to use Expert Africa again."

Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront

Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront

"Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront review"

4 nights Arrived 11 Apr 2015
"We truly enjoyed our stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront. The rooms were very comfortable, and the location could not be beat. It was close enough to the V&A Waterfront (a 10-15 minute walk), but far enough away for a more relaxing stay.

I can't say enough about Tobago's Restaurant. While we did rent a car while we were in Cape Town and went to a number of local restaurants, the food at Tobago's was my favorite. We ate their twice and considered the prices to be extremely reasonable.

The hotel's concierge desk also was very helpful during our stay, providing us with directions and suggestions. They even helped us book our trip to Robben Island."

Ilala Lodge

Ilala Lodge

"Ilala Lodge review"

2 nights Arrived 15 Apr 2015
"Our stay at Ilala Lodge was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were comfortable and the location was great. It was only a 10-15 minute walk to Victoria Falls.

Seeing the warthogs every day from our room made for a fun, exciting stay. We ate at the Palm Restaurant one evening and really enjoyed the food. The only slight annoyance was dealing with the vendors who came up to us every time we left the lodge, asking us to buy their "one-of-a-kind" goods."

Muchenje Safari Lodge

Muchenje Safari Lodge

"Muchenje Safari Lodge review"

3 nights Arrived 17 Apr 2015
"We loved Muchenje. The location was beyond words. It was outside of the park and further away from Kasane, which was nice. It was quiet, relaxed and the views were incredible. The people who currently run the lodge, Robert and Joy, were friendly and went out of their way to make sure everyone was having a wonderful time.

Our safari guide, Synack, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. I can't say enough good things about him. I would highly recommend the early morning game drive, and the river cruise is an absolute must. The food at the lodge also was very good. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Muchenje, and would without a doubt stay there again.

The only thing I wished I had known more about before we arrived was how much to tip. Different online forums mentioned $10 per person (guest) per day, but we didn't think that was nearly enough considering we basically had our own personal safari guide the entire time we were there."
