Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"The trip as a whole was very enjoyable. RPS staff and camp were both great.

Game sightings were more patchy than I had expected and OK rather than great over the six days I was there." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"I had been to Luangwa before, so knew roughly what to expect, and was not disappointed generally. There was not a great quantity of game around (or at least visible), which is perhaps to be expected at this time of year, but everyone tried very hard to ensure a good safari, and the river boat trips provided a very novel experience.

I would have no hesitation in recommending the area, and both RPS and NCS, to anyone contemplating a "real" Africa safari.

"Ellie did an excellent job organising the whole trip for the four of us. When Chinzombo was unavailable, she organised a very good deal with Norman Carr Safaris which was very much appreciated.

I would highly recommend Expert Africa to anyone who is thinking of going to Southern Africa and I am very pleased to find out that Expert Africa are now going into Kenya, which two of us are hoping to visit shortly.

"We enjoyed all of it! The only complaint we have is that there were too long waiting times at the airports! This can be avoided.

A minor thing is also that on departure to Mfuwe staff at the airport thought we had arrived on the BA flight the same morning, so the lesson is improve communication!" Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zambia safari

"This was our first trip to Africa and, thanks to Saskia Adye's excellent help and advice, it was a thoroughly memorable and enjoyable month-long holiday with fantastic game sightings as well as lots of cultural interactions.

We were extremely happy with all of our accommodation and transfers. The only disappointment was Rwandair Express which is the most unreliable airline that we've ever flown with, but Saskia did warn me of that in advance so I should have taken her advice to fly SAA instead!

Would highly recommend Expert Africa - and Saskia Adye in particular - to anyone planning a trip to this fascinating continent.

"This, our eleventh, trip with Expert Africa was arranged at very short notice. As always EA in general and, in thjis instance, Claire Scott in particular, pulled out all the stops to find an itinerary which worked for us and we were delighted with the results.

We are very impressed by the outcome of the upgrading of the website. And we welcome the addition to the EA portfolio of Kenya, which we are currently actively investigating with an eye to our twelfth EA-arranged trip." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Memorable." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"The overall programme suited us very well. Given the relatively short time available, Ellie had suggested just the right solution for us.

Our only issue was with Isaac who seemed rather uninspired and just looking forward to the end of the season. For the rest: Full marks to the entire Remote Africa Safaris team.

As BA cancelled the first leg of our flight to Lusaka we had almost lost one of our only eight days in the bush. But thanks to Ellie's fantastic help and support (even though we had booked the tickets ourselves) we managed to arrive in Zambia as originally planned. Brilliant service. We are most grateful.
