Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Thoroughly enjoyed all of it and by the end was remembering many of the dozens of birds , trees and plants from my old bush days. I especially enjoyed the walking and getting back to the smaller things in the bush and all the interactions.

Although expensive and by my standards very luxurious , I enjoyed being pampered !

Very little to add as everything went swimmingly and everyone I dealt with was most pleasant and flexible. Only the delayed BA flight back , together with leaving behind most PACS luggage in Lusaka ( arrived 4 days later ) , was a negative factor but this is not your problem."

"The itinerary worked really well - from a gentle start at Nkwali for my first time in the bush through to Nsefu, then microlighting at Tafika and culminating in an adventurous conclusion at Zebra Plains.

Seeing how local communities live also enhanced my experience as a whole.

In the pre-departure information, there was very litttle about Zimbabwean visas. Although my daughter knew about these, I didn't and other customers may not." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"We highly recommend a trip with Expert Africa to Botswana.

The whole experience was fantastic and we have no negative comments to make on anything we did. The planning and arrangements for the trip went smoothly and we were very happy with the mix of camps we visited and the varied scenary.

This was our second trip with Expert Africa and we can't wait to go again. Both the trip organisation/execution and the service was exemplary." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"We really enjoyed our trip and all aspects (except those listed in the box below) went smoothly. The folder that contained all the vouchers and key information together was useful.

With hindsight we should have booked accommodation with AC throughout the trip because if you go out early it is valuable to have somewhere cool enough to rest in the heat of the day before going out again in the afternoon. We probably should have worked this out for ourselves but I hadn't expected to want to be in much at midday and had not appreciated how hot tents can get!

We would definitely recommend Namibia at this time of year to any wildlife enthusiasts and your advice helped us to make the most of it." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Tracy had worked really hard to put together a wonderful itinerary, building to a great climax. All our venues had a wow factor and it would be hard to choose a favourite.

Travelling through Namibia, Chobe And Zambia gives an amazing variety of experiences.

One needs to watch the waistline as one is fed relentlessly on delicious fare.

Many thanks for great service, best wishes, Jane Westermann

Luggage allowances were a problem as we were given different advice. Photographers need to know that they won't be separated from their precious stuff. There is obviously a difference between v small flights and the Proflights to Mfuwe. This doesn't necessarily relate to you but it was the only thing on which we were unclear."

"First time in Zambia but ExAf was able to take feedback from previous trips to Namibia and create an itenerary to suit expectations. Had a great time.

Feedback I heard while out in Zambia at Tafika is that you are very good at matching people to the camps so that no one arrives with the wrong set of expectations.

That is also my experience in dealing with you, which is why I am a return customer..." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"More than lived up to expectation, glad we chose the camps we did and appreciated the help Lucy gave us on our itinerary.

Will live long in our memory and very much hope to return sometime in the not too distant future.
