"This was truly the best trip we have ever taken.
I've never actually used a "travel agent" before but Expert Africa is different. Olivia was amazing in her suggestions and the itinerary that was planned. She was responsive at all times and connected with us throughout the period leading up to our trip.
Will definitely use Expert Africa again!!!"

Sayari Camp
"Most Amazing Trip We Have Ever Had!"
3 nights
Arrived
18 Jun 2019
"Our stay at Sayari Camp was the best trip / holiday we have EVER had.
The team at Sayari led by Goodluck, including Baraka, Chris, Daudi, Samson, and Sidiki are among the best hosts we have ever had! They tailored everything to our needs and planned amazing camp meals for us. Goodluck went out of his way to connect with us on a personal level and we exchanged many experiences over dinner and drinks. The food was fantastic and we had a really nice "traditional" meal one evening.
The camp itself is excellent and has everything you could ask for. The location is perfectly located near the Mara River and has access to an amazing portion of Serengeti National Park. Our guide, Baraka, was highly skilled and took time not only to answer our questions on the wildlife but extended those discussions to the flora, insects, and environment. This man has a true passion for the outdoors and nature.
We would definitely do this again. Thank you so much for a great memory.

The Highlands
"Amazing time at the Highlands"
2 nights
Arrived
21 Jun 2019
"Our stay at Highlands was one of the best trips we have had. The team at Highlands were hospitable and made an effort to get to know us over our 3 day stay. The food was great and we had a great visit to a Maasai village. The crater was stunning and lives up to its status as a world heritage site!
To points others have raised - the ride is not for the faint of heart and is quite bumpy. However, we managed it without problem."

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater
"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"
22 Jun 2019 • All-day excursion
Amazing day in the crater. We saw a Rhino!
We also had an up close sight of two lions mating for over a half hour - what an amazing thing to witness.
Really enjoyed this aspect of our trip!

However, Expert Africa was prompt to resolve the issue and refund the full amount - no questions asked!"
