"Another excellent trip to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 1 Jul 2012 and 12 Jul 2012
"This was another excellent trip to Zambia, with superb accommodation and fantastic game viewing, some of which we will probably never see again. Initially we both felt that we would like to try a different country the next time but somehow Zambia gets under you skin and won't let go, so no doubt we will be back again in the not too distant future.
Ellie proved to be extremely knowledgeable about the areas we wished to visit and provided excellent feedback and alternative suggestions to our original thoughts.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not sure I can add anything other than to say, keep doing what you are doing, you are obviously very good at it and we would not look elsewhere if we intended to visit any of the countries covered the Expert Africa team." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia Trip 1-Jul to 16-Jul 2012"
I visited Zambia between 1 Jul 2012 and 16 Jul 2012
"Our expectations prior to departing were to have a Zambian experience with a variety of camps, locations and activities. This was achieved far beyond our original expectations.
In all of the camps there was a very cooperative effort on the part of the entire staff which resulted in a most exceptional stay.
Our discussions with Maruska during the planning were very helpful and proved to be particularly useful throughout the entire trip.
We have made four previous trips to Africa, but this was our first to Zambia.
All of these trips are part of the overall wonderful African experience.

"Zambia and Malawi were a great combination"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 30 Jun 2012 and 13 Jul 2012
"A fabulous trip. Zambia is a great safari destination and Lake Malawi the perfect spot for R&R afterwards.
Expert Africa were superb in their efforts to make the trip as best as it could be for us. We heartily recommend them." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Wonderful safari! Thank you, Expert Africa!"
I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 30 Jun 2012 and 14 Jul 2012
"Claire Scott helped me plan this safari and she did a fantastic job.
I was very pleased with everything to do with the logistics, the flights, the camps, etc. The transfers went off without a hitch and it was a lot of fun.
When planning another safari, I would definitely use Expert Africa and Claire again." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our May 2012 Zambia Trip"
I visited Zambia between 23 May 2012 and 4 Jun 2012
"We had a great trip.
In the future we think we would spend less time travelling to different places but rather spend more time in certain localities. It all goes so quickly that time spent travelling between places feels like lost time.
This trip certainly confirms for us that we much prefer being in owner led, authentic, well managed, unpretentious lodges or camps like Tafika. We would certainly want to spend more time their on our next visit, there was so much to do and it would be good to do it at a more leisurely pace.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We feel that Expert Africa is as good as it can possibly be, we have always been extremely satisfied with your service and would not wish to use any other company to help us with our trips to Africa.
The level of knowledge processed by the team is second to none and is borne out of first hand experience which is invaluable." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Amazing trip !"
I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2011 and 27 Oct 2011
"We had a wonderful trip to Zambia. The wildlife was amazing and we were glad to have the recommendation of 2 Shenton camps plus Mondoro as they complemented each other very well.
Everything went to plan and we will certainly choose Expert Africa again.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Some slightly more detailed advice on photography would be useful. For example on the Shenton web site (not Expert Africa) the emphasis is on top of the range cameras with big lenses. Yes some people have this but they are very expensive. We purchased a 55-300mm telephoto lens which proved adequate for all but the photographing of birds as we got pretty close to most animals. Maybe you could give a counterbalance to the Shenton information to ease the mind of the everyday photographer." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Aincredable experiance."
I visited Zambia between 16 Oct 2011 and 27 Oct 2011
"We have been on numerous trips with Expert Africa always satisfied with the service and commitment given but probably for obvious reasons we consider this to be one of if not the best exxperiances to date.

I visited Zambia between 10 Oct 2011 and 27 Oct 2011
"Thoroughly enjoyed all of it and by the end was remembering many of the dozens of birds , trees and plants from my old bush days. I especially enjoyed the walking and getting back to the smaller things in the bush and all the interactions.
Although expensive and by my standards very luxurious , I enjoyed being pampered !
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Very little to add as everything went swimmingly and everyone I dealt with was most pleasant and flexible. Only the delayed BA flight back , together with leaving behind most PACS luggage in Lusaka ( arrived 4 days later ) , was a negative factor but this is not your problem."
