My Feb 2017 trip
On this trip, I visited South Africa between 8-Feb-2017 and 1-Mar-2017 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Once again, Tracy came up trumps! We had been spoiled on our previous trip, to Zambia and Namibia, and weren't expecting to be quite so blown away this time - but we were, thanks to the sheer variety of the package that Tracy put together for us. From our safari experience at Kwandwe, to the opulence of the Vineyard Hotel in Cape Town, we were stunned by the quality of accommodation and service we encountered throughout our trip. Thank you so much, Tracy!
We loved South Africa, and very much look forward to returning there in the near future.

My Sep 2015 trip
On this trip, I visited Botswana, Namibia, Zambia & Zimbabwe between 11-Sep-2015 and 4-Oct-2015 and I travelled with 1 other person.
We were very much impressed with every aspect of the organisation of our trip. We expected it to be the trip of a lifetime, and it surpassed our expectations.
We found it reassuring to have the knowledge and expertise of Expert Africa's staff behind us, to guide us through a part of the world of which we had little previous experience. The choice of lodges was perfect, and every arrangement that had been made for us went without a hitch. We were particularly grateful for the huge contributions made by Maruska, in the initial planning of the trip, and Tracy, who took over when we were forced to postpone our trip by 12 months, following a family bereavement.
We would not hesitate to use Expert Africa again in the future, nor to recommend them to friends and family.
