"My May 2025 trip"

I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 30 May 2025 and 20 Jun 2025
"This was my 13th safari in Zambia and I see something new on each trip. I love the people, wildlife, and countryside of Zambia more than any other country I have visited in Eastern and Southern Africa. It fills my heart with joy and wonder."

"Our May/June 2025 trip"

I visited Zambia between 26 May 2025 and 7 Jun 2025
"This was the trip of a lifetime. We have been on safari many times and never seen Leopards and really wanted to change that! And we averaged more than one sighting per day! We hoped we would see Wild Dogs but understood it wasn't guaranteed, and we were rewarded twice! The camps and the people were excellent.

Coming from the West Coast of Canada this was a long way to go, and into territory where we were totally unfamiliar. Having every detail line up exactly as planned from the moment we came through the arrival gates in Lusaka is exactly what makes Expert Africa service worth it. We also felt confident in knowing that should any problem have come up we knew exactly who to call.

Lucy took the time to understand exactly what we wanted out of this trip and worked with us to put together the best possible itinerary - with first hand knowledge of each place we would be and how it would all happen. We absolutely recommend this company and wouldn’t use anyone else for future safaris." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My May 2025 trip to Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 24 May 2025 and 5 Jun 2025
"This is the third time we are traveling to Africa with Expert Africa and as usual they delivered. This time instead of going mostly on game drives, we did canoe excursions, boat cruises and walking safari. The combination of these different experiences was excellent. We were going through untouched grasslands and riverside habitats without disturbing the wildlife. A more authentic and eco-friendly experience that offered a different perspective on the areas.
The Lower Zambezi National Park and South Luangwa National Park are two outstanding locations in term of pristine landscapes and abundant wildlife.
Both Remote Africa and Classic Zambia delivered with comfortable camps , excellent food and outstanding guides. We had some thrilling episodes and other totally peaceful moments where we enjoyed our surroundings.
Thank you Amanda for organizing everything so smoothly . We can't wait to go back to Zambia." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

It was interesting to hear the most other agents use their website as an information source for their own clients such is the quality of the research that they undertake!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"My Oct 2024 trip"

I visited Zambia between 15 Oct 2024 and 29 Oct 2024
"The planning process was seamless and very efficient. From my first contact with Amanda everything went at a great pace. Documentation was excellent during the whole process, and Amanda was always available for any query or problem.

The lodges planned by Amanda were excellent, and the overall time table extremely satisfactory. The final package mailed to me with the book on Zambia and the leather travel wallet was a great start to my trip.

Well done Amanda and all concerned in this trip!

A pleasure from beginning to end.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Just keep on in the same way!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
