"Zambia 2008"
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"
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"
"Back in Bath"
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!"
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

"Could not have wished for a better trip."
I had hoped it would be a trip full of memories but it exceeded all expectation - thank you!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"Excellent trip -no hitches in organisation"
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
