"This proved an excellent safari with some superb game viewing. We saw wildlife and behaviour never seen by us before over the many safaris we are lucky to have had. This was particularly exciting as this was our last safari (age has caught up with us) and shows that every safari can be unique.

Other than Shawa Camp we knew all the other camps visited which continued with the high standards they have maintained over the years.

With regard to Shawa Camp it is a tented camp albiet with big tents and we would describe it as rustic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and found it very relaxing with lovely staff. However whilst this is far from a critism we would understand if it did not suit some people.

As we have, dare we say, reached a more elderly age, in two camps I found myself pointing out to their management that they must make sure that they fully take account of older guests who are now travelling more and who may well have reduced mobility. Thus for intance steps should be safe and not too steep and access into vehicles be much easier.

I do not have any suggestions to improve service. It has always been a pleasure to deal with Expert Africa over the many years." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 on a Zambia safari

"The overall experience was exceptionally good. Our other comments are on the care and attention provided by Claire Scott at all times during the booking process and run up to the trip. It was also very evident that Expert Africa is viewed in very high regard by both Remote Africa and Sheldon Safaris who run the camps we stayed at, with there even having been a visit to the camps by Expert Africa not long before we were there. This reinforced our already strongly held view that Expert Africa know so much more about the camps and the walking than many other tour operators who seem to need to refer even the most basic question to their in-country agents.

One reason we contacted with Expert Africa is because of the detail of the information on the website and the transparency with which you operate. Keep up the good work." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"We would highly recommend Expert Africa for anyone seriously looking to book an African safari.

All of our in-country travel and accommodations were arranged by Expert Africa. Upon our arrival in Lusaka we were met by kind and very helpful representatives from Expert Africa to get us to our hotel and to get us to the airport the next day. They helped us with our luggage and the entire check-in process. All in-country flights on Proflight Zambia were arranged by Expert Africa and coordinated with the bush camps to ensure we were met at each airport/airstrip.

Our experience with Expert Africa started in 2019 when we originally booked an August 2020 safari. That trip, due to COVID-19, did not happen but Lucy, our Expert Africa Travel Specialist, was able to coordinate the move of our reservations to 2021. In 2021, travel to and from the US to Africa was problematic due to COVID test requirements and frequent airline cancellations. Lucy was able to coordinate yet another extension of our reservations to August of 2022.

Throughout this entire timeframe we found the service provided by Expert Africa to be outstanding. Before our August 2022 safari, we thought a safari would be a once in a lifetime experience. After the amazing experiences we enjoyed at Anabezi Camp and Lion Camp it is now not a question of if we will return, but when. And when we do return, we will use Expert Africa to book the trip."

"Our trip was well planned and it all worked without a hitch.

It was an excellent combination of camps and Matilda loved every minute of it. She is a coeliac but we had no problems with food.

A very memorable trip.

This is the second time I have used Expert Africa and I could not fault either of my trips" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"As for all of our previous visits to Africa with you, we had an amazing time thanks to your knowledge of the options you could lay before us and your understanding of what we were looking for.

Although much delayed by Covid and changed by the demise of a business we had been particularly keen to walk with, you helped us to refine our plans and eventually delivered a wonderful, life affirming experience full of excitement and interest."

"I understood I’d been booked to stay at Latitude 15 because there wasn’t an afternoon Proflight service to Mfuwe.

Discovered from fellow passengers that there was and would much rather have travelled straight on for an extra night in the park.

I appreciated the personal service and being kept up to date during the two years since my trip was first booked. Trying times for everyone, I know." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Excellent trip, nice mix of camps. Nice pre and post hotel in Lusaka. Tours Africa very good also. Logistics worked like clockwork.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Nothing to say, everything was great. Thanks especially to Maruska for all the rework and her patience during the Covid period. We got there in the end and we're very appreciative." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
