Zambia

Zambia is well known for excellent guiding and top-class walking safaris.

...while some bushcamps in the South Luangwa exclusively offer walking safaris.

There's always plenty of time in between activities to relax with a drink...

...and watch the local wildlife!

From the smaller animals...

...to the biggest - there's a huge amount of game to be viewed in the different parks.

...you can find more luxurious lodges here as well...

...and every camp goes the extra mile to provide special touches to your safari.

"Good africa!"

I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 1 Oct 2010 and 16 Oct 2010
"We had never visited sub saharan africa before and had real concerns about safety especially taking the whole family in one group to celebrate my husbands 60th.

We can only summarise by saying it was fantastic and will be planning something again - this time they will all have to pay their own way though. The mix of freedom, planning and excitement made the experience unforgettable.

Chris and Claire were very helpful and knowledgeable and gave us great reassurance personally speaking to several of the party individually.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Make it clear in your advisory pamphlets that it is serious hot in October and make sure you do read all the emails customers send so all the details get included right at the beginning. The short time scales we set you were incredibly tight and the schedule you created was faultless - thank you" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Another excellent trip"

I visited Zambia between 24 Sep 2010 and 14 Oct 2010
"Our fourth trip with you and another magnificent holiday in a different country - we're very impressed you can provide consistent excellence over a range of varying trips and destinations. Lucy gave us very good advice on both the camp selection and the balance of the trip (gently refuting a couple of our ideas - you were right!)

Our very positive impression of the company was further enhanced when Ellie came up and introduced herself at Lusaka airport having by chance spotted the luggage labels - many would have just kept there heads down and got on with their own business.

We met many not travelling with you who had admired/used your website but then gone elsewhere and had some minor issues - we suspect some will soon become clients..." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 19 on a Zambia safari

"3rd wonderful visit to Luangwa"

I visited Zambia between 22 Sep 2010 and 7 Oct 2010
"This is a star holiday. All the senses are fully alert during the walking trips which is what we like best. Zambia is such a friendly country and the lodges work very well. We simply love these trips and hope to return.

Many thanks to Claire and Chris who helped us choose once again to go back to this bit of paradise.

I would like an easier, more transparent view of lodge costs to help rule out the unsuitable early on in the selection process." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"A very expensive but fantastic holiday"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 17 Sep 2010 and 27 Sep 2010
"This was a fantastic trip and experience.

I enjoyed every aspect: the small aircraft flights low over the delta, the landscapes, the camps and the fact that animals could come and go, all the activities, the gin and tonic sundowners every day, the food, the interaction with the staff (and some of the guests!), the flora and, of course, the fauna.

"Found everything we were looking for"

I visited Zambia between 15 Sep 2010 and 28 Sep 2010
"Just amazing.

We wanted to experiment a walking safari and it was like a dream out of space, out of time.
We appreciated to spend five days with a very small group of people that we got to know better than in a car safari.
We enjoyed visiting Kawaza village and school to meet local people.

"Trip of a life time"

I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 13 Sep 2010 and 16 Oct 2010
"Exceeded all our expectations and got better as the trip progressed. Well worth the huge outlay.

Never to be forgotton but will loose all our friends raving about it!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Hard to think how you could have improved it. I think it was a shame we did not listen to the advice regarding our last camp in Botswana and feel she should have told us how little wild life ther was at Selinda. She did inform us the wild life was not as good here but there was very little." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 16 on a Namibia trip

"Sand Martins return to Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 12 Sep 2010 and 27 Sep 2010
"We enjoyed to return to the South Luangwa. The Lower Zambezi was new to us, and was wonderful.

The holiday exceeded our expectations. Thanks to Lucy and all the team at Expert Africa.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We suggest that you include a mention in the Guide to Zambia about the opportunity for visitors to the South Luangwa to help support the Kawaza school and Project Luangwa, if they so wish." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
