"Zambia is a wonderful place to visit."

I visited Zambia between 24 May 2010 and 5 Jun 2010
"We had a truly fantastic holiday.

We were very impressed with Rob Clifford in the handling of my lost phone at Tena Tena. He came to Nsefu to talk to us about it and even offered to pay for a new one on our return. Happily, the phone was eventually found at Tena, but Rob's attitude to us as customers was wonderful.

"We had a great holiday"

I visited Zambia between 7 Nov 2009 and 14 Nov 2009
"We very much enjoyed our trip to Africa organized by Expert Africa. I was just trying to be honest with the different places in remarking on observations, but overall we had a great time.

Thank you Claire very much for organizing this memoriable trip for us.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No suggestions - we had a great time. All of our questions were answered before we left and we were very well prepared. Thank you." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Back to Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 4 Nov 2009 and 14 Nov 2009
"Our safari was efficiently and thoughtfully organised by Anna and the whole trip worked very smoothly. We were particularly impressed by Joseph and his colleague who met us at Lusaka as soon as we were off the plane. He saw us through visa control and security and stayed with us until we boarded for Mfuwe. He was there again for the return journey. This made such a difference to us when trying to negotiate an unfamiliar airport.

We perhaps would not choose to go to Zambia again at this time of year, due to the extreme heat and humidity. Tsetse flies were a problem, however the locations, the people and the animals more than made up for any discomfort.

Thank you to Anna for all her hard work and best wishes to the team at Expert Africa. See you at Destinations!

You are EXPERT Africa - we are unable to think of anything you could do to improve your service - apart from perhaps covering Kenya?!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Overall Expert African views"

I visited Zambia between 5 Oct 2009 and 15 Oct 2009
"There aren't enough superlatives in the dictionary to describe how good this holiday was. we've never done anything like it before, but sincereley hope we will again, and if we do will come straight back to Expert Africa.

Everything worked like clockwork, the people were friendly and efficient, and we were treated like royalty everywhere we went. Thank you so much.

Suggestions for improvements:

Not really! As close to a perfect holiday as we've ever experienced." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"An amazing adventure"

I visited Zambia between 30 Sep 2009 and 12 Oct 2009
"There were two things that I wanted to do in this holiday: walk and see as many leopards as possible. Well, I have done excellent walking safaris and I had some of the most beautiful sighting of leopards ever had.

Apart from this, the whole trip has been really great. I have loved all places, the staff has been everywhere so kind and the contact with nature and wild animals was just unbelievable. I couldn't imagine a better holiday!

Suggestions for improvements:

I have contacted Expert Africa twice: the first time for a fly and drive in Namibia and for this trip to Zambia. Both time I had a very good service and at the moment I can't think of any further suggestion." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Overall feedback"

I visited Zambia between 21 Sep 2009 and 6 Oct 2009
"Norman Carr Safaris were excellent - facilities and food first rate. They are however overprotective of guests and , if you have done any independent self drive and camping, their safety precautions are OTT and risk spoiling the experience. So be beware.

For first timers they would be great. The walking was really good and our guides were generally excellent. The ZAWA scouts did a great job.

N Luangwa was really relaxed and more of a wilderness experience. Highly recommended." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia - Lower Luanga - Best Safari Ever!!"

I visited Zambia between 12 Sep 2009 and 22 Sep 2009
"Expert Africa have become the one agent we would recommend to everyone. Your knowledge of Africa (we have travelled with you to Tanzania and Zambia so far) is outstanding. Having listened to our preferences your choice of camps was perfect.

The standards of all aspects of this trip were really outstanding. Even where we have rated below top marks, it is as much to differentiate between the camps as to penalise any.

Zambia/the Lower luanga has so far been our best safari. we rarely visit a destination twice, but I sincerely hope we return, at least to Zambia and ideally to Tafica if not others in the Lower Luanga.

Thanks particularly to Chris who spoke to me and recommended the camps personnally (we are not the easiest customers). Having spoken to a number of other Expert Africa customers, it seems he somehow finds time to speak personnally to most of them - incredible - long may this continue!"

"Two Golden Leopards"

I visited Zambia between 10 Sep 2009 and 22 Sep 2009
"An excellent trip overall, there were certain goals which included a photograph of a leopard in day light up a tree, this was the only thing not achieved, we did however find two golden leopards (lions) up a tree.

We thought last years trip to Botswana would be hard to beat but our trip this year to Zambia has exceeded all our expectations and we haven't stopped smiling since. We met some great people and everyone connected with all the camps were very helpful, knowledgeable and always smiling. Can't wait to go back.

Suggestions for improvements:

Only negative comment to make would be the pick up on the morning of our return flight to UK, having paid for B&B could not take part in breakfast as restaurant opens at 5.30am at Taj Hotel and the company used to transfer us to the airport also picked us up at this time, whereas we could had made use of the shuttle bus service of the hotel, therefore allowing us time to enjoy a breakfast before the flight home."

"do repeat a success"

I visited Zambia between 7 Sep 2009 and 22 Sep 2009
"It was great to be back with the Tafica team and their 3 bushcamps. Walking is the activity to do at every opportunity, once you have seen most animals from a truck.

Suggestions for improvements:

lets talk about next year's trip and how about an increasing discount for faithful clients?" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
