"A definite holiday to remember"
I visited Zambia between 10 Apr 2009 and 25 Apr 2009
"This will rank as one of my best holidays.
The whole trip exceeded expectations, and the level of service throughout the trip could not be faulted and while a Zambian safari is not the cheapest option, I felt this was definitely value for money.
Anna's advice on the itinery turned out to be a perfect recommendation, with the right amount of time in each place.
Suggestions for improvement:
I was completely satisfied with the whole level of service, particularly the fact that the itinerary was organised around what I was looking for rather than any pre-set itinerary. Anna was also able to give recommendations on the options, based on personal experience - always a plus for me. I would definitely recommend Expert Africa to anyone considering a safari to Africa."

"A great safari and beach holiday"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 17 Dec 2008 and 3 Jan 2009
"Overall, we got everything we wanted from this holiday. A great week's game viewing, then a short trip to a stunning beachside lodge on Lake Malawi for a week of luxury R&R.
The BA experience excluded, we were well looked after every inch of the way by Robin Pope and Expert Africa .
We would highly recommend Nikwali and Pumulani." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"Amazing holiday in Tanzania and Zambia"
I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 11 Dec 2008 and 3 Jan 2009
"We have had a marvellous holiday which went according to plan. Whenever we arrived at a new destination there was always someone to meet us and the whole experience was completely hassle free.
We were both very pleased we had been advised to go to the Selous and both the camps we visited were absolutely perfect for us. The only mistake we made was in deciding to stay at a beach resort for 4 nights. We are much happier where there are interesting places to potter around and we are keen to try and learn about the places we are visiting.
I think Ellie understood our requirements very well: she did not mind how many times we asked her opinion and never failed to answer our queries.
We used Sunvil last year to go to Chile and Argentina and are pleased that we had the same high standard of service again this year." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"South Luangwa with Expert Africa"
I visited Zambia between 17 Oct 2008 and 4 Nov 2008
"The trip was a delight with the vast majority of things going very smoothly indeed. All the camps were good and I would recommend any one of them to people going to South Luangwa.
I personally preferred the smaller camps further north but that is not to say that there was anything wrong with the others." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a Zambia safari

"The S's Great Experiences in Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 8 Oct 2008 and 23 Oct 2008
"A fantastic holiday in a great country.
Laundry service was really excellent and did make taking limited luggage very feasible.
It was great that we could drink the water at the Bush Camps and at the Livingstone Hotel.
Great problem buying postcards - we only really found any in Lusaka at the end of our trip.
Suggestions for improvement:
Mention that when going to Shiwa they only take one party at a time, even if it only consists of one person.
Suggest travellers take pens to give to children. Also could take old training shoes to give away or use as part trade for crafts." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Our Fabulous Holiday"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 6 Oct 2008 and 24 Oct 2008
"We book a fairly complex itinerary involving many flights, locations and activities. This involved being met at airports for transfers all of which went very smoothly thanks to the organisation and efficiency of Lucy and her colleagues at Expert Africa.
One of our activities included white water rafting at Victoria Falls and what a fantastic experience it was, the climb in and out of the gorge is difficult but well worth the effort. Thank you Expert Africa for arranging our fabulous holiday.

As our trip was faultless it is difficult to think of any comments." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Amazing bang for your bucks!"
I visited Zambia between 3 Oct 2008 and 16 Oct 2008
"I have run out of ways of saying excellent............we cried all the way home on British Airways flight.
Suggestions for improvement:
I hope that Tafika's recipe of giving the best, not spoiling the dish by overloading the camps, and charging a price that gives them the return they want is the right one for the future.
A costly holiday no doubt; but cheap at the price !" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
