"Namibia, Botswana and Zambia July/Aug 2016"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 19 Jul 2016 and 14 Aug 2016
"We were away for a month on what was undoubtedly the trip of a lifetime.
We have learned so much about a part of the world unknown to us prior to this trip and it has certainly had an impact on the perspective that we now take about certain issues. We met some wonderful people, both inhabitants of the countries and fellow travellers, and the animals and birds that we encountered were magnificent.
It was humbling and impressive and I wish that everyone could be lucky enough to have such a fantastic opportunity.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
At the point of booking there were times when Tracy was clearly very busy and we had to wait for responses to our questions. Her passion for Namibia and Botswana always came through and we felt fortunate to have the benefit of this.
We had need to contact her a couple of times while we were away and her response on these occasions was extremely prompt, thorough, helpful and reassuring - we were very appreciative of her care and attention we received." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Hippo trip of a lifetime"
I visited Zambia between 15 Jul 2016 and 27 Jul 2016
"Despite starting with a downgrade from BA (not Expert Africa's fault, we asked for them because of their Worldtraveller Plus seats - big mistake it turns out - booking 10 months in advance cut no ice) this was a fantastic trip.
The main aim was to see hippos close up and personal and the Kaingo Camp hide provides that, as does the location. Leopard, Painted dogs, lion likes, leopard feeding in trees, lions, hyenas and leopards day and night..... were all a huge bonus for us. The whole experience exceeded our expectations and the promises made in the brochures.
Expert Africa were really helpful with the details (e.g. breaks at Pioneer Camp & Victoria Falls) and are currently engaging with BA over the outward downgrade refund." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia July/Aug 2016"
I visited Zambia between 13 Jul 2016 and 4 Aug 2016
"Wonderful!! The logistics firm in particular - Team Africa? - who met us at Lusaka - were great! I'm sorry I can't definitely remember the name of the company. We wouldn't have caught the first connecting flight to Mfuwe if they hadn't hurried us through immigration. They were SO helpful at every interchange that I feel rather guilty about not having tipped them much, the problem being that we were usually rather disorientated at these junctures, with our minds on the difficulties that they were busy smoothing out. There were the big things, like catching planes and tracing luggage, which they handled very well, and also the small things, like returning a book I'd borrowed from Mchenja, which I was certain I could trust them with, that made our trip so very easy and relaxing. It was a totally luxurious 5-star holiday all the way."

"Excellent itinerary by Maruska"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 6 Jul 2016 and 23 Jul 2016
"This was a trip of a lifetime. We had a magical time.
Maruska did an excellent job of putting together the perfect itinerary for our family. I had started with only two places in mind: Victoria Falls and Etosha National Park. I would say Chobe River experience was a highlight and I didn't even know about it until Maruska brought it up. Thank you for everything.
My friends have already started to ask me about our experience and I'm definitely going to recommend that they use Expert Africa in planning their trips to this wonderful continent." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"A Fantastic Safari to Botswana and Zambia"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 24 Jun 2016 and 1 Jul 2016
"A fantastic and memorable trip. A very big thank you to the team at Expert Africa but - of course - especially to Sarah Glyde who liaised with me throughout the planning of this safari.
Thank you Sarah for your patience and ideas and i must say, together we managed a trip of lifetime here.
Will ask my kids to upload some photos / videos as they really are special.
Thanks again Sarah." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari
