"My Sep 2024 trip"
Of particular note, when we arrived at JNB there was a downtime with electricity and the airbridge was inoperable. We had assisted passage though the airport with British Airways and we were taken straight to the transfer desk rather than to the place at which we would be met by one of your team. Lucy was concerned that we may have missed the London to JNB flight and contacted us to find out whether there had been a problem to find out.
Overall we had a great holiday and throughout the whole process were confident about the organisation of the holiday. The arrangements went well with no problems but we were confident that if a problem arose your HQ team of the lodge teams would solve it without any fuss.
We have recommended your organisation to friends who are considering a safari. Since this was our third safari with Expert Africa, demonstrates that we are comfortable with the way in which you conduct business and the quality of the holidays."

"My Aug 2024 trip"
However on enquiry this was swiftly put right and the trip proceeded exactly as set out, and without any glitches. This was very satisfying as on a safari trip the wheels can come off!
Have to say all my trips with Expert Africa, have proceeded as planned." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi August 2024"
We loved the informal, friendly atmosphere of Lion Camp. The wildlife was plentiful, the game drives were full on and we found we did not have time to freshen up before dinner (we could have asked to return a bit earlier, but did not want to miss anything!).
We found the atmosphere at Anabezi slightly more formal, but equally welcoming and friendly. The structure of the day there meant that we had more time to relax between game drives and overall the pace felt more leisurely.
A perfect trip, thank you!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"My Aug 2024 trip"
Apart from my flight cancellation (nothing to do with Expert Africa) my entire trip went without a hitch and the the camps that I visited met (or exceeded) expectations, with a high standard of service and organisation.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really. The only point that I would raise is maybe the proximity of the rondavels in Nsefu, which is not ideal for people seeking privacy." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari
"My Aug 2024 trip"
The deep understanding of what to expect at each camp from having had first hand experience by visiting makes a lot of difference and is a differentiator from some other companies that offer an extremely wide range of trips with 'experts" covering many countries.

No, despite racking my brains before answering!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari
"My Aug 2024 trip"
We had a wonderful time in Zambia and Malawi and the whole trip fitted together seamlessly.
There was one minor mix up made by the staff in our hotel in Lilongwe which Lucy immediately sorted out with the hotel to get us a partial refund." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

Otherwise, there’s nothing that can be faulted." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"My Aug 2024 trip"
As mentioned, the area is sparse in wildlife so, although it is realistic to have to search out game, I've been on other safaris where the finds were more exciting." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari
