Smooth and no glitches in all of the arrangements. Expert Africa did great job helping us to plan this trip and recommending great camps and hotels.

Rooms adequate. Lounge and deck area comfortable.
Unfortunately with the drought the river was dry so did not see any wildlife other than birds."

"The Residence review"
Not currently featured by Expert Africa
Enjoyed the hot water bottles in bed and Amurula with candy on night table - nice touch! They arranged excellent outings to Cradle of Humankind and Soweto.
Greatly enjoyed Soweto visit - in no small part due to Marvin our personable and knowledgeable guide who really wanted us to truly understand the history of Soweto."
