"My Oct 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 3 Oct 2023 and 17 Oct 2023
"The trip met our expectations (which were high). Having visited Zambia before this trip was equally enjoyable to previous trips. The small camps we visited, our fellow travellers and the camp hosts made it a memorable trip."

"Our Sep 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 16 Sep 2023 and 30 Sep 2023
"The service from Claire at Expert Africa from start to finish was exemplary.
So knowledgeable, extremely responsive and took into account our few comments on the itinerary. This was another fantastic trip.
It is a real priviledge to be able to do walks each morning in such beautiful scenery, seeing wildlife including some of the Big 5 on foot, at a safe distance, and then having the contrast of game drives in the afternoon and early evening.
All meals were superb and the hospitality was excellent." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2023 trip was the best we ever had"
I visited Zambia between 12 Sep 2023 and 15 Sep 2023
"Our 2023 trip brought us from Windhoek via Khaudum, Caprivi, Mongu, Kafue to our main destination, the South Luangwa National Park.
We stayed 13 nights in the area.
The 3 nights at the Island Bush Camp were definitely the very best of our trip." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 12 Sep 2023 and 22 Sep 2023
"We found Expert Africa very willing to listen to our wishes for our trip and advise and help get it all sorted to best suit us.
Having been to the safari camps before we wanted to organise it based on particular camps and EA were good at getting that done with suitable flights to give us the most of our time out in Zambia.
As for South Luangwa, it is a wonderful place to visit with very good camps (choose carefully with advice and help from EA to suit your wishes and budget).
The wildlife viewing is excellent without the pressure on the animals that can happen in other countries and still with the natural look and feel to the area without some of the unnatural presentation that some countries give.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not that we can think of right now. Just a big thank you." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2023 trip"
I visited Zambia between 11 Sep 2023 and 25 Sep 2023
"This trip was as perfect as it could be. The advice and support from Lucy was excellent and she is clearly well liked and thought of in the camps we visited.
We could not have wished for more other than to have stayed longer and enjoyed the lodges, the friendly owners, managers and support staff. Nothing seem to be too much trouble and everyone had a smile on their faces
It was also memorable for the photo opportunities as we had time to take some excellent pictures of all the animals we encountered.
All the lodges were clean comfortable and gave us a sense of being at home in Africa. The locations and views from them all added to the experience.
Very pleased with everything." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
