"My Jun 2019 trip"
I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 13 Jun 2019 and 16 Jul 2019
"We had a wonderful trip, stayed in lovely places, saw many animals and met lots of friendly people.
The arrangements made by Maruska, for the trip, were excellent. Lots of thought went into the itinerary, and everything worked well. All the transfers, all the lodges were super. We are so impressed by Maruska and will use her again in a heartbeat!!
The highlight must be the eles at Stanleys, just wonderful being so close to them.

"My Jun 2019 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 4 other countries between 7 Jun 2019 and 13 Jul 2019
"Our information and discourse was always with Maruska who was meticulous, knowledgeable and detailed in the planning with regard to our trip. We cannot thank her enough for the planning that was executed flawlessly, that reduced the anxiety of the multitude of transfer and connection flights that occurred within our itinerary.
The execution on the ground and air by the operators was flawless and any oddities that occurred were developments that could not be predicted by Expert Africa or their employees. Updates are required by direct observation and on site verification. We hope that we have provided them for you in this review in an objective manner that is factual without any bias or drama. Of course, there are always two sides to a story and after submission of our comments to any of the operators, if there is a discrepancy of the events that occurred, we are happy to respond or reply in kind. Our comments are also documented by photos of the elephants on the walkways and streets near the Vic Falls Hotel and in the case of the excessive call to prayer by the Imam near the Machweo hotel, we have a live, timed recording to document this annoyance.
Otherwise, it would be hard to improve upon the suggestion of camps recommended by Maruska in the Kalahari or Zambia for the quality of service and most importantly, for the wildlife that was observed.
We think we are seasoned travelers and it is not often that we would ever lavish such praise upon a an individual or company that helped us so much with the arrangements but Expert Africa and Maruska are to be commended. So please accept our sincerest thanks for an itinerary well planned and executed. If Maruska can put in the time and effort to plan this trip, we can certainly take the time and effort to evaluate in kind. Thank you.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: We never looked at brochures, website or general literature etc. from Expert Africa. Perhaps we missed something. I think we have already given our suggestions in this extensive evaluation process on how to improve such trips. Fortunately, there was not much need for that."

"Zambia Lower Zambezi & South Luangwa NP's "
I visited Zambia between 3 Jun 2019 and 19 Jun 2019
"This trip was amazing, and we very very happy with all 4 properties. The game drives yielded lots of surprises, and we had a good number of really good sightings.
We are so happy with the services provided by Expert Africa from the time we first contacted them, right though to some last minute changes that they sorted out for us. All in all, they are amazing, and we will use them again. Kudos to Freddie, Meagan & Amanda. Well done !

"Much better than expected."
I visited Zambia between 25 May 2019 and 5 Jun 2019
"Planning stages very comprehensive. Excellent advice given. Every stage of itinerary was seamless whether organised by Tours Africa or the camps. I felt I'd just delivered myself into someone else's care and needn't worry about another thing. First time I lifted my suitcase was back at Heathrow.
I was so pleased the decisions I had made (with advice) about he combination of accommodations had fitted the bill completely. Although not deemed to be the best time to visit, I thought I'd had the best of all world so very lucky.
My thanks to everyone" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My May 2019 trip"
I visited Zambia between 2 May 2019 and 13 May 2019
"lost count of the times that I have traveled with your company. I think it must be 6 or 7 and always receive great service.
Amanda's suggestion of having a 'private' transfer back from Lower Zambezi worked very well and enabled us to connect with the international flights on the same day; this was something that I would not have envisaged had I booked direct with the lodges.
Zambia , I believe, provides a unique safari experience and although this time was no exception for us Brits (with the cost being $ linked) it is becoming rather expensive." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia and Zimbabwe safari"
I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 7 Jan 2019 and 23 Jan 2019
"I try not to anticipate nor expect too much so I won't be disappointed - this trip far exceeded anything I could have imagined, I enjoyed it all so much and it all ran smoothly except the weather the first day but then I would not have experienced Latitude 15.
Thank you for organising such a wonderful itinerary, Freddie, did a great job." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
