All lodges, safari drives, transfers excellent. This was by far the best safari trip ever for scenery and wildlife.

"Well organised and memorable holiday "

I visited Zambia between 22 Sep 2018 and 6 Oct 2018
"This was a very enjoyable holiday involving an overnight stay in Lusaka, three camps, three internal flights and a boat transfer between two camps. All the arrangements worked out well with no problems. It was helpful to be met at Lusaka airport on two arrivals and departures, and guided through procedures there (including on best passport/visa queue). The advice in the Expert Africa Zambia booklet about checking the correct number of days on the Visa was pertinent as the officer misheard and initially gave us too short a period - but it was quickly corrected when we pointed out the error.

The camps were all excellent and well run by friendly staff. Overall, we had a good variety of types of game watching trips (drives, boat, canoe, walking and hides) with knowledgeable guides who put a lot of effort in to searching for animals while spending plenty of time to observe animal behaviour. Although the variety of mammals was not as great as on previous safaris in other countries we had a number of very memorable wildlife experiences.

Many thanks to Megan for her advice and for organizing the holiday which was our third with Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"A Treasured and Memorable Safari"

I visited Zambia between 19 Sep 2018 and 5 Oct 2018
"We were pleasantly surprised throughout our trip and would definitely recommend this to friends and family. I would enjoy seeing the same area a little earlier in the year, when it was a bit more green as it had been very dry for many months. Accomodations were excellent and locations of the camps were wonderful.

The abundant wildlife was a pleasure to watch and photograph. The jeeps were outfitted well for photography and guides were exceptional. Loved it all!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
