Well done Expert Africa

Botswana and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2009 and 3 Sep 2009

Trip rating: Excellent
"We were impressed with the organisation and genuinely friendly welcome from everyone we met in Botswana, Zambia & Zimbabwe.

Well done to the teams at Expert Africa, Kwando Safari & Wilderness Safaris. Everything went perfectly from the moment we left London to our return 10 days later. We jsut wish we could have stayed longer!

Suggestions for improvements:

Keep up the good work.

This was our first organised trip (we're normally spur of the moment backpackers) but we didn't feel constrained by having everything laid on. This holiday was a total VIP experience and fabulous from start to finish. Thank you."

Kwara Camp

Kwara Camp

"Fantastic stay at Kwara camp"

3 nights Arrived 25 Aug 2009
"The friendly team at Kwara made us feel really welcome. Bali our guide, Justice our tracker, Janet and all the staff run a very well organised yet relaxed operation.

We were in the middle of the bush yet we were extremely comfortable! Their attention to detail gave our stay a touch of luxury. To see lions on our very first game drive was a real treat, as was the elephant right outside our tent! The endearing sound of hippos "chuckling" in the adjacent lagoon will stay with us forever.

All the activities and the food were excellent."

Lagoon Camp

Lagoon Camp

"Wonderful stay at Lagoon camp"

3 nights Arrived 28 Aug 2009
"The hospitable team at Lagoon Camp really looked after us well. We appreciated Alison & Baruti's in depth knowledge when they were guiding us around.

Highlights of our stay were the cheetahs and the wild dogs - we hope Scrappy is continuing to thrive! It was very exciting to be in the wilderness yet feel completely safe and very comfortable. Food was excellent (including catfish caught from the deck by another guest!).

The location is beautiful - watching elephants from your own balcony takes some beating!"

Avani Victoria Falls

Avani Victoria Falls

"Zambezi Sun review"

2 nights Arrived 31 Aug 2009
"After 6 days in the bush, arriving at the Zambezi Sun to be greeted by dancers in loincloths brandishing spears was a little like stepping onto the set of the Lion King and quite a shock! But once we got used to the airconditioning and rubbing shoulders at breakfast with Southern African Finance Ministers attending a conference in the hotel, all was well.

The location is unbeatable - just 4 minutes from the Falls and set in beautiful grounds. The food at Squires was very good - and so was the buffet, despite some complaints posted on various websites.

Staff were courteous and helpful. We'd have rated it Excellent if there'd been a choice of a fan-cooled room instead of airco, and if a map of the grounds had been handed to us on arrival (we had to hunt for Squires)."
