Bravo Zulu -Naval signal code for Well Done

Zambia and 1 other country between 22 Apr 2008 and 30 Apr 2008

Trip rating: Excellent
"All admin arrngements worked extremely well and we were met and warmly greeted at every stage.

The speedy trip across the Zambezi was much appreciated as the delay for the lorries wating for the one serviceable routine ferry was more than 1 week!

Many thanks to Lucy for valuable suggestions and recommendations.

Suggestions for improvement:

I beleive that Expert Africa has thought of everything necessary and any comment from me is superfluous!"

Islands of Siankaba

Islands of Siankaba

"Quite outstanding in all respects!"

3 nights Arrived 22 Apr 2008
"A very impressive and beautifully appointed series of small lodges ideally located on the banks of the Zambezi. Most of the staff beamed with pleasure almost continuously and the more senior managers (Lisanne and Sonia ) went out of their way to meet our every wish and at very short notice, including activities that were not normally undertaken (such as horse riding.) A wonderfull start to our brief Africa holiday for both of us.

However be warned that use of Mastercard incurs a 10% extra charge."

Rovos Rail (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Rovos Rail certainly lived up to expectations"

2 nights Arrived 28 Apr 2008
"Although the initial reception in the HQ building lasted too long (because we were collected much earlier than necessary by the Rovos organised transport) the train journey was magnificent and we benefitted from an unexpected and most welcome upgrade to Luxury Suite.

The only adverse comment is that on several occasions meal and excursion timings were different to the printed itinerary and passengers were not sufficiently well alerted to these changes."
