"Our great trip to Zambia 2015"
I visited Zambia between 11 Aug 2015 and 22 Aug 2015
"This trip was all we had hoped for.
Although we understand most people visit Shiwa N'gandu last, we appreciated the relaxed atmosphere there first after our long trip out - no getting up at 5.30 here but a leisurely breakfast at 8.30. We also appreciated the luxury of Anabezi at the end. Three very different camps - all quite remote meaning not much other camp traffic about. we also had different experiences at each with excellent guiding throughout whether in vehicles, in a boat or on foot (an activity we had not experienced before which we really enjoyed}; the guides all worked hard to give us varied and illuminating experiences."

"My Aug 2015 trip"
I visited Zambia between 11 Aug 2015 and 26 Aug 2015
"A very enjoyable trip, exceeding expectations.
We would happily re-visit Zambia and all of the camps we stayed at - the standard of accommodation, service and food was excellent throughout our trip. All the guides lived up to their high reputation. As expected, breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner plus snacks was too much for us!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We used Expert Africa to a large extent because of your enormously informative and easy to use web site. It was a pleasure to deal with Megan.
I would quite like to have seen a breakdown of costs as part of the quotation." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Loved it"
I visited Zambia between 1 Aug 2015 and 12 Aug 2015
"I loved my trip, it was my first safari and Claire Scott did a wonderful job in arranging it all for me, and also answering all my questions prior to departure - thanks Claire.
I would definitely recommend Expert Africa and Robin Pope to anyone. All the people that worked at the camps were really really friendly and nice, those that were local to the area especially so. I also like the ethos on the drives of not crowding the animals with to many vehicles, as great as it is to see the animals, it is still their home. All the guides were extremely respectful of the animals and the environment and very knowledgeable.
I think this has probably been my best holiday ever so far, I was extremely lucky with all the friendly people I met either on the plane or at the camps and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, despite being somewhat scared at the start.
Thank you very much to all involved, public facing and behind the scenes." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia trip"
I visited Zambia between 25 Jul 2015 and 8 Aug 2015
"Our trip to Zambia was fantastic & delivered everything & more than we were expecting.
The key to this success, was the great advice & discussion I had with Megan during the booking process. I had a good idea what I was looking for & what I didn't want, she was very good at discussing the pros & cons of each camp & location. I never felt pressured to just make a booking.
In the end the holiday & the camps delivered exactly what were looking for. Many Thanks for a wonderful experience
