"Our 2014 safari to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 29 Jun 2014 and 12 Jul 2014
"Zambia is a fantastic country for a safari and offers good value for money. We were delighted with our overall itinerary as the 3 camps in different National Parks worked extremely well together.
All of the organisational aspects ran perfectly. We were particularly happy with you advice to take a direct charter from Mwaleshi to Old Mondoro as this saved us so much time – we were in a game vehicle at Old Mondoro by 9.30am. We also had the most remote room in each camp, not sure if this was a coincidence, but we were very happy about this nevertheless.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Keep doing what you are doing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"A memorable and well-organised trip"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 22 Jun 2014 and 12 Jul 2014
"We had a great holiday and were happy with all our accommodation choices.....we made small suggestions for improvements but had no cause for complaints.
On reflection we might have changed the length of stays towards the end of the trip e.g. an extra day near Victoria Falls and one day less in Hwange N.P. in Zimbabwe. We very much appreciated the advice provided during the planning of our holiday and the information and service given during this process. The brochure and the travel documents supplied were comprehensive and helpful.
We would certainly consider planning/booking another trip with Expert Africa based on our first experience of the company." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2014 trip"
I visited Zambia between 7 Jun 2014 and 20 Jun 2014
"This was the most incredible experience of my lifetime. It was a very smooth experience from camp to camp with NO GLITCHES. Everything was perfectly planned and professionally executed. We felt safe while we also were exhilarated I would highly recommend this experience to those seeking adventure and a real taste of the bush and Africa.
The one comment for change is to offer some diverse activities to break it up a little. Offer something...cooking, yoga, anything!
Thank you for this fantastic experience! It was amazing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2014 trip"
I visited Zambia between 2 Jun 2014 and 14 Jun 2014
"It was an unforgettable experience. Claire was always happy to answer our most basic questions. Her recommendations were perfect. Throughout our trip everything went perfectly. Someone was always there to meet us and get us to where we needed to be.
We are so pleased with Expert Africa's service and recommendations. We would like to work with you again on our next trip to Africa. Thank you so much!

"Amazing Trip"
I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 17 Apr 2014 and 6 May 2014
"This was a wonderful trip. We would work with Expert Africa again and recommend them to family and friends.
The team member who dealt with most of our trip was Gwynneth -- who I know is no longer working at Expert Africa -- but she deserves recognition for all her efforts. I am evaluating Gwynneth below, even though I have to choose a different team member from the drop-down menu" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"Our best safari so far."
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 2 Nov 2013 and 13 Nov 2013
"The whole trip went very well. We enjoyed the hotels, camps and the game drives. The animals were varied and plentiful. The gudiling to a very high standard. Loved it.
Before the trip when BA changed our flights, Ellie was extremely helpful and diligent in ensuring that the itinerary (that had to be completely revamped) was fine tuned to meet our expectations despite us changing our minds a few times on the routings and camps!. Definitely an 'exceeded expectations' experience." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Incredible. We are hooked on Africa"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 21 Oct 2013 and 4 Nov 2013
"Thank you Expert Africa, especially Maruska, for making our honeymoon such a dream.
We had a fabulous time in Africa and we enjoyed all three places (Nkwichi Lodge, Mwamba Bushcamp and Old Mondoro) enormously.
We absolutely intend to return to Africa - next trip Botswana!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Something we had not fully understood (being first time Safari goers) is how much time we would spend with other guests.
We had such a terrific time at Nkwichi Lodge with like-minded people; suffered terribly uncomfortable dinners at Mwamba Bushcamp with a taciturn guest; and felt as if we had to be on our best behaviour at Old Mondoro with the terribly middle-aged and middle class Britons.
We do acknowledge it is the luck of the draw and I think Maruska did a great job of planning for us. But next time we will ask to be with people in our demographic as much as possible :-)" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari
