"My Aug 2018 trip"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 17 Aug 2018 and 29 Aug 2018
"Trip was outstanding and one of best experiences we have had.
Trip was seamless and made easy by Expert Africa. Enjoyed staying at the lodges that were very personal and gave back to the local people. Experiences at each destination were wonderful.
Zambia has found its way into my heart! Everything was just perfect!

"South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 17 Aug 2018 and 2 Sep 2018
"This was my third safari, and my wife's second, and by far our favorite.
We would gladly go back to Zambia and visit these parks again. We enjoyed every camp, with Kafunta best for driving, Island Bush and Three Rivers best for walking, and Chongwe best for boating and canoeing.
Expert Africa's arrangements worked perfectly, with all transfers on time and no difficulties with any of the reservations." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Our First Safari"
I visited Zambia between 16 Aug 2018 and 1 Sep 2018
"This was our first real safari and we choose Expert Africa through Personal recommendation. We found them to be very helpful with very good advice on which camps to choose for what we wanted to get out of the holiday.
At the suggestion of Expert Africa we had a late change to our itinerary to include a Stopover in Lusaka for the first night and it made a huge difference. Rather than arrive at the first camp late in the day and tired we were able to arrive at lunchtime and were much more refreshed. Would definitely recommend this approach."

"a sfari trip to remember "
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 13 Aug 2018 and 25 Aug 2018
"great trip which we will remember over and above our other safari trips in Africa for the quality and variety of the animals, the staff at the camps and the Vic Falls hotel.
We will also remember the great support provided by Lucy Copson when things went a little off schedule - that was really appreciated in a difficult period." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"Our August 2018 South Luangwa safari"
I visited Zambia between 6 Aug 2018 and 17 Aug 2018
"This was a truly fantastic holiday. It was our first family safari and it exceeded all expectations.
The guides were superb at all 3 lodges ,allowing us to spend time watching animal behaviour. We learnt a huge amount about both the environment and the wildlife, both plant and animal. The accommodation and food couldn't have been better. We really felt we experienced Zambia.
Robin Pope safaris staff were friendly, welcoming and great fun to be with. Brilliant holiday.

Can't think of a single improvement - it all went so well.
Thank you." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"My Aug 2018 trip"
I visited Zambia between 5 Aug 2018 and 14 Aug 2018
"Worth every penny. I will take my granddaughter in 2 years time, when I have saved up.
Trip of a lifetime, life-changing, and not a moment wasted, perfectly balanced and fine-tuned, yet room for the unexpected as we were in the bush where we humans can respond to what we find, but not control it.

"August in Africa"
I visited Zambia between 5 Aug 2018 and 2 Sep 2018
"My only hesitation about saying "very satisfactory" is that I feel there were too many unnecessary errors in the booking process, including mistakes on the itinerary about which terminal we were supposed to depart from at Johannesburg.
This was confusing and time-wasting until we figured it out." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
