"Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 8 Jun 2012 and 18 Jun 2012
"The trip as a whole was excellent.
Can't wait to go back and explore further afield and maybe Malawi. We can't recomment Robin Pope Safaris highly enough." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Nkwali and Nsefu in the Emerald Season"
I visited Zambia between 15 Mar 2012 and 24 Mar 2012
"Having visited the South Luangwa, and these camps, in the dry season, we wanted to experience them in the Emerald Season. The trip exceeded our expectations. We saw many different birds, and although the animals are, in principle, harder to spot in the lush bush, we were rewarded with some spectacular sightings, due to the skill of our guides: Braston at Nkwali and Daudi at Nsefu.

"On principle it remains- ZAMBIA."
I visited Zambia between 21 Oct 2011 and 3 Nov 2011
"Zambia, after its recent elections seems to be heading in the right direction, generally. It can only be hoped that the national park/game reserves can be maintained by the right people and in the right way. Zimbabwe is not an option on principle while the beautiful people there continue to suffer.
Zambia- the South Luangwa valley is one of(certainly my favourite) game reserves in Africa. NormanCarr safaris have the best guides and the combinations of different bush camps give one the best experiences of safari in Africa.
Thank you to everyone associated with NormanCarr safaris." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia, October 2011"
I visited Zambia between 19 Oct 2011 and 29 Oct 2011
"Fabulous. Thank you.
Claire, Chris and Elllie were very helpful in finding just what we wanted, which was quite specific. We discussed Zambia, Malawi and Zimbabwe, before choosing to go again to Zambia. And although I had a good idea of where we wanted to go, having been there quite a lot, Claire was able to help me structure the visit and i think part of its success was very much in the sequence. The arrangements made were absolutely spot on and apart from the ghastly Pamodzi, everthing was absolutely FANTASTIC. It couldn't have been better.
Thanks also for the Bradt guide, which we read constantly and found really helpful.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really.
I suppose the cost was the only snag but then we were flying on a private plane and staying in top lodges, a really exclusive tailor made holiday, so what do I expect?" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2011 and 27 Oct 2011
"A good trip with great lion sightings.
In comparison, the general level of service isn't as good as Robin Pope's, but the cakes are better!

"Fantastic experience with Expert Africa"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 26 Sep 2011 and 21 Oct 2011
"Tracy had worked really hard to put together a wonderful itinerary, building to a great climax. All our venues had a wow factor and it would be hard to choose a favourite.
Travelling through Namibia, Chobe And Zambia gives an amazing variety of experiences.
One needs to watch the waistline as one is fed relentlessly on delicious fare.
Many thanks for great service, best wishes, Jane Westermann
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Luggage allowances were a problem as we were given different advice. Photographers need to know that they won't be separated from their precious stuff. There is obviously a difference between v small flights and the Proflights to Mfuwe. This doesn't necessarily relate to you but it was the only thing on which we were unclear."

"a fine 4th trip to Luangwa"
I visited Zambia between 21 Sep 2011 and 6 Oct 2011
"Everything went wonderfully well as we returned to our 4 favorite camps in Luangwa. Plenty of new things to see and do, and we met up with all our good friends in the camps there. What a bit of paradise it is.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No. Just keep it up! We value the service EA has given to us on 5 trips to Africa, and have recommended it to others at the camps.
The advice before the trip is especially helpful as it avoids the wrong expectations/clothing/cameras/binoculars etc that other operators seem to ignore." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"South & North Luangwa, Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 15 Sep 2011 and 1 Oct 2011
"Outstanding trip. We thought our last visit to Zambia couldn't be bettered, but it has been. All the camps were excellent - no negative comments or suggestions for improvement. The African bush remains as alluring as ever.
Unfortunately for our bank balance we'll be back - please wait for the call!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We really can't think of any. This is our fourth trip organised through Expert Africa, and every one has exceeded expectations. We've also recommended you to others, and they've also experienced outstanding service.
Keep it up!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
