"Zambia 2008"
I visited Zambia between 6 Jun 2008 and 17 Jun 2008
"This was our first safari and we were fortunate to see Lions/leopard/wild dogs in addition to Elephants, Baboons etc. So we consider ourselves very lucky indeed. We had not visited Zambia before but would certainly visit it again.
I think choosing more than one place to visit within Zambia was a great suggestion by Expert Africa and their recommendations for accommodation were excellent. Thanks to their suggestions we sampled very different experiences in each camp.
Suggestions for improvement:
If you sold holidays to all parts of the world we would not use anyone else." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Fantastic Honeymoon"
I visited Zambia between 29 Oct 2007 and 9 Nov 2007
"This holiday is with out doubt the best holiday either myself or Ross have ever been on. It ticked all of the boxes of things we wanted for our Honeymoon.
Neither of us had been on Safari before and it was such a fantastic experience. We felt well looked after at all of the camps and loved Zambia. The mix of camps and activities was perfect allowing us the right mix of adventure and relaxing." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia 2007"
I visited Zambia between 29 Oct 2007 and 10 Nov 2007
"We had our problems on this holiday, we lost a day due to confusion over our flight home and the lack of walking opportunities was a disappointment.The tetses and the bug in the ear also did not help. However the trip was immensely interesting and ultimately very enjoyable. We are pretty experienced travellers in Africa and not easily phased but I am not sure some clients might not have found some of our issues a little daunting. An interesting observation by a fellow traveller at Chongwe that his stay there had made his trip was a view we strongly supported."

"Back in Bath"
I visited Zambia between 22 Oct 2007 and 5 Nov 2007
"Overall it was a wonderful and magical experience, especially being deep in the bush and listening to the noises of the night and dawn.
Definitely a sarong and flip flops next time.
Would like to go to Chongwe again (visited the River House on the way to the landing strip... WOW!) and would do more walks, looking at small things rather than the big beasts.
We liked the house party atmosphere and meeting different people all the time. That was an important part of the holiday .
We would single out Simon (Nsefu) and Catherine and Rocky (Tena Tena) for dealing so smoothly with the
Vikings - they'll know (as will Robin!) who and what we mean!!!!!!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Amazing trip, we want to go back!"
I visited Zambia between 21 Sep 2007 and 13 Oct 2007
"Difficult to imagine how this trip could be bettered. Before we went we had met very few people who had been to Zambia but all those we had met had raved about it, now we are inclined to think they may have been under-selling it! Our sole concern is that we struggle to see how any future Africa trip can begin to compare.
We know that we were unusually lucky but to see 7 leopards including a courting couple and three on kills one of which in broad daylight exceeded our wildest dreams.
In addition, we had some wonderful sightings of a great variety of mammals and birds and the benefit of the deep love and understanding of the bush imparted by our excellent guides. We hope to return as soon as we are able." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Excellent trip -no hitches in organisation"
I visited Zambia and 3 other countries between 31 Aug 2007 and 25 Sep 2007
"Expert Africa as good as last time.
Chris gave good overall initial guidance and Lucy Scholte was just great and worked continuously to make sure we got what we wanted on our itinerary. Even after trip had been paid for Lucy still worked up to departure to get changes in bookings to meet requested loges/camps.
Not many agents bother like that once the cheque is in. Really outstanding work by Lucy and much appreciated.
We would certainly use Expert Africa again." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari
