"Unforgettable safari"
Five nights in Lower Zambezi was probably a bit long for me, as the game was not as good, but it is a beautiful area and good for relaxing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
"Africa and Safaris"
We were able to see all the animals on our list plus some more. Learning about the birds, insects, trees and plants added to that experience. The Zambian people we met were all so welcoming wherever we went. The trip was excellent in all aspects. The connections to each segment went very smoothly and being met at the airports provided us with a sense of security. The safari lodges and camps were a good choice.
We'd be happy to return to Africa and book with Expert Africa again." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Brilliant trip"
We have been enough times to know game sightings are not guaranteed but we saw more than ever before . The guiding all the way round was knowledgeable, tailored very much to our experience , enthusiastic and must have contributed to what we saw. Zambia just seem to have it right.
Walking is our passion and there did seem less on offer than before . Getting a game guard seemed to be a bit of a problem at times but nevertheless we always managed to go when we wanted.
Loved the camps. Can't wait till the next time!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
"Did what it said on the tin!"
We got a great variety of terrain and game combining South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi (I particularly wanted to be close to rivers for the variety) and I felt Eleanor really understood our needs when recommending Flatdogs and Kasaka River Lodge. Both camps were open so game could walk through which gave it such an authentic feel as we had elephants passing through at both places and could hear the animals during the night.
I have to say the Hippo Pod at Kasaka is one of the finest places I have stayed in Africa!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari
