"Our Safari"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 13 Oct 2008 and 25 Oct 2008
"Another great time in Africa, it always fascinates and enthralls us. No problems with any of our arrangements inspite of a fairly convoluted itinerary. If anyone has discovered an effective way of dealing with tetse flies we would appreciate their advice.They were quite a problem on the Lower Zambezi this year!
Apart from the flies our only other grumble was having to pay £75 visa charge each for a 6 hour stay in Zambia while en-route to Namibia,and then being charged again when we returned 5 days later.
No, the service and trip lived up to our expectations." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"Stirring & Stimulating Safari"
I visited Zambia between 19 Sep 2008 and 4 Oct 2008
"You can see from the above that we loved our holiday. From start to finish everything was taken care of - we packed our bags and the next we saw them they were there at our new tent! EA's advice on tipping was excellent, otherwise we never needed money!!! Food and drink was fine. Our guides Jacob, Debs and Richman were absolutely outstanding.
A hundred praises and just three moans: 1. That flight! 2. We had chosen a very hot period, a month or so earlier would have been better. 3. The tsetse were a pain. (I don't think EA could have done anything about any of the three!!!)
Suggestions for improvement:
I wish safaris were cheaper!!! We love to go every year - Sand Rivers Selous next?
Keep up the good work!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Wonderful Zambia again"
I visited Zambia between 15 Sep 2008 and 30 Sep 2008
"This was our second trip to Zambia and we were very pleased with it overall.
In the South Luangwa Norman Carr Safaris set very high standards which, with few exceptions, they acheived. Their Guides are second to none and well supported by the Game scouts and Camp staff. The Camp Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Special arrangements were made by Abraham Banda for us to visit Yosefe School with vehicles and drivers being made available to make this possible - an excellent service enabling us to make a most emotional and uplifting visit with the staff and children.
To finish our holiday with 3 nights in the Lower Zambezi was magical - Sausage Tree is a luxury camp with excellent facilities, food and activities.

"Anna is wonderful and we have never been on a trip before where we have been so well looked after. An exceptional experience and we wouldn't hesitate to use Expert Africa and Anna again and to recommend the business to any of our friends. These comments were shared by another couple who were staying at Sausage Tree Camp with us and who were telling other people about your business. FIRST CLASS SERVICE !!!
The whole trip went like clock work and we were well looked after from the moment we left to the moment that we got back home.
A great experience that couldn't have gone better." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Expert Africa"
I visited Zambia between 8 Sep 2008 and 23 Sep 2008
"A really excellent trip! One of the best organised trips we have done to Africa.
Particularly appreciated help through Lusaka airport and obtaining visa. All transfers went like clockwork and there was mimimum loss of holiday time in transferring from camp to camp.
Well done.

"Overall Comments"
I visited Zambia between 8 Sep 2008 and 25 Sep 2008
"This trip to Zambia was fantastic. My comments on the various lodges are all quite similar but that is simply because I had a great time at every lodge that I stayed at. The level of professionalism was very impressive, meals were always great, and I was impressed by every single guide that I met. I think that the guides in Zambia, as a whole, are the best in Africa. They always seemed to strike the perfect balance between pleasing the guests and not intruding on the wildlife. They always made sure not to upset or harass the wildlife.
Expert Africa was fantastic in helping put my itinerary together. Extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and very responsive to any questions that I had. This is the second trip I have taken with Expert Africa, and I would absolutely not hesitate to recommend them to anyone interested in visiting Africa. Thanks for everything!

I always like to make constructive suggestions, but as an indication of how thoroughly satisfied I am with my trip, I have no suggestions on how to improve your trips or your service." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"First trip to Zambia- but not the last"
I visited Zambia between 3 Sep 2008 and 17 Sep 2008
"The whole trip was a once in a lifetime experience.
Even the travel days were fun and the Zambian people were friendly and professional. Because there are so few camps the experience felt very select and it was rare to encounter any other vehicle when out and about.
The scenery was fantastic and very varied - I was not expecting to see such lovely stands of leadwood and ebony trees. Altogether the best safari experience we have had.

I cannot really think of anything. I always dither a lot before finally selecting an itinerary and Claire was very patient as I kept coming back with questions or changes of date!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
