Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Fantastic trip - it all worked out really well and everyone had a great time. Great itinerary.

Lucy very helpful, patient and knowledgable." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 2 on a Botswana safari

"As a whole the trip was excellent, although somewhat marred by our time at Kaingo which was disappointing and Pioneer camp and lack of food on the return flight.

However, this does not detract from what was on the whole a very enjoyable trip.
Lucy was like a breath of fresh air after the earlier mishaps with regards to our booking and we much appreciated Chris's offer of the flight out upgrade." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"The trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was fabulous.

We have been to Namibia and Zambia before, but this was so very different.

We loved every bit of it and all the arrangements ran like clock work." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"This was an amazing honeymoon, enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the beaches in Mozambique before heading into the Botswanan delta to two Kwando camps and then onto Tongabezi near Livingstone.

Expert Africa organised the whole thing brilliantly and are incredibly helpful, professional and flexible. Thank you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Mozambique holiday

"It has been really a wonderful experience, in terms of places visited, people met and service received, so I want to thank you for the assistance received during this holiday, and also all the staff of Norman Carr Safaris, especially to the ones not mentioned in my feedback that did a great job behind the scenes!

For sure I will suggest Expert Africa as tour operator to everyone who will ask me about Zambia!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"we were very pleased with how smoothly the entire trip went, especially as this was Africa and we were prepared for the unexpected.


We were surprised at the quality of the service with SA airlines and the only small criticism was that we were not met very efficiently at Lilongwe airport on our arrival from Mfui. I went chasing around the airport asking for Robin Popes representatives to be told by actual driver that someone should have told us where he was. But after this hiccough, he was very amenable and indeed drove us perfectly to Pumulani. So, perhaps, this was just a misunderstanding at the airport.

Overall, we had a wonderful time, thank you" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari

"We have travelled with many holiday companies over the years and usually travel at least 3 times a year and we can honestly say that in all our experiences this ranks with the best of them, from our experience with Expert Afica who were always willing to help with any queries, and all of our destinatiions (except maybe a couple) it was a breathtaking experience for myself my wife and our 2 grandchildren, every single day was mind blowing.

Thank you so much Sabina for all your help in helping us arrange a lovely holiday.

"The trip was everything we had hoped for and then some.... Expert-Africa had listened well to our requests and without fail had covered all our needs. I was very impressed with Angela (and with Sabina too, she handled a last-minute request with amazing speed). We had a bit of a laugh in the preparations when we read we had to be at a certain place at a certain time. Timeliness, in Africa? With EA yes.

We are saving for our next trip already and we will come back to EA, what better compliment can we give? EA came recommended to us by a good friend and we will now recommend EA to others too.

Expand your offering while maintaining the high level of service. I will need you guys in the future to take me places again. Northern Mozambique for example." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Zambia was everything we had hoped for.

The walking was very good. The camps were all small and well run. The experience was unforgettable.

In addition to the superb wildlife viewing, we also enjoyed the atmosphere at the camps. All of the hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Maruska was a great help in planning the trip. We particularly enjoyed being in the bush rather then at a big lodge. It was the perfect experience for us.
