Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Everything was good. see other comments on Tongabezi.

Our first choice was a different lodge but it was fully booked and we could not be flexible.

We are looking forward to our next trip!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Zambia safari

"The holiday of a lifetime - such an amazing experience!

Met super people - local and other holiday makers. Took hundreds of photos. Have wonderful memories - would love to repeat the holiday in the future.

Botswana is in a class of its own for wildlife, birds and delightful people." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"This holiday is virtually identical to the one we took in 2015. In last year's review we said that we had had the best holiday in over 40 years of travelling. This year's visit was at least as good if not better!

We continue to be very impressed by the quality of everything provided by Robin Pope Safaris. We would also like to mention the Tour Africa agents at Lusaka Airport. They met us and looked after us ensuring that our arrival and departure went smoothly for both domestic and international flights.

All of our holiday arrangements were made possible by Freddie Sutton at Expert Africa. Very many thanks." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Great trip.
All logistics worked.
The camps were exactly as billed.
The game was not quiet as plentiful as hoped for with a couple of very quiet days - impala, hippo and the odd elephant - but this is all part of the luck of safaris in large, remote parks with no or one/two other vehicles.
The pre-booking information such as no giraffe in Lower Zam was very valuable. Might be worth stressing more that there is no wifi or signal in the camps. This was not an issue for us at all.
Expert Africa have a good reputation with both Tafika and Potato Bush as an agent who knows what they are doing and for briefing their clients well. It was clear than some other agents are perceived less favourably.
Overall, Freddie and Expert Africa delivered 100% on brief. Thank you." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"As this was a return trip to the same camps as 18 months previously we were concerned that we may not be so enthalled. This was certainly not the case - we were welcomed back magnificently and had the time of our lives and saw some amazing sights.

The trip organisation went without a hitch, we especially appreciated being meet by Tours Africa on arrival into Lusaka and had to be rushed through immigration/visa etc as flight was late coming in. If the tours Africa rep had not been there to help we would probably missed the connection." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Cannot say enough about Lucy's assistance, recommendations, and responsiveness. She proved to be an exceptional representative for Expert Africa and her knowledge of the area was extremely helpful. We want to thank her for making our travels truly memorable." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Our trip included stays at five different camps, each in slightly different areas. All of the camps were very good.

Almost every game drive resulted in at least one truly memorable event. Most guides were excellent - even remarkable.

We and the three couples that traveled with us loved the entire experience.

Maruska is very capable and pleasant to work with.

The water in the Selinda Spillway was late in arriving this year, so we were slightly disappointed in that fact, but that is not in the control of EA or Selinda Explorers Camp. We loved our stay at Selinda!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"We spent two wonderful weeks in the bush. It went too fast.

It exceeded our expectations in every way: accomodations, guides, food, game viewing and weather.

I am still pinching myself that it all happened.
