"My Jun 2024 trip"
All the camps were very good, but the new Mwamba gets the gold medal.
Thanks very much to Lucy for putting it together. Looking forward to the next one." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
"Our June 2024 trip to LZ and SL"
This was a special trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and she delivered on all counts - we were able to get the chalets of our choice, were treated to a couple of romantic private dinners at Old Mondoro and Tafika, and had amazing guides at all our camps.
A trip we will hold close to our hearts forever!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"Jun 2024 South Luangwa trip"
The choice of camps and sequence proved to be ideal, not much I would change there. I'd love to return to South Luangwa one day - if I do, there are so many other parts of the park to experience, but it would be a tough choice to avoid returning to any of the places I visited this time."

"My Jun 2024 trip"
Very friendly and relaxed experience, less commercial and crowded than Tanzania and Kenya.
Visited the Lower Zambezi and South and North Luangwa parks and especially loved North Luangwa which is still an incredibly unspoiled and wild place. A real wilderness experience !
I loved the abillity to do long walking safaris mixed with more traditional game drives and boat/canoe safaris.
Exceptional guiding and overall great game viewing with the highlight being 3 consecutive days of watching a pack of 17 wild dogs hunting/killing buffalo, waterbuck and impala." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Our amazing trip - WOW!"
We had the best holiday ever, everything about it from the booking, the flights and pick ups, the accommodations, food, animal experiences and staff - we cannot fault anything or anyone - just perfect.

"My May 2024 trip"
It was very easy to communicate with Maruska, I lost count of the many emails back and forth.
Just before final payment was due our first camp communicated rather vaguely about a change of operations there. Maruska and Chris put in a lot of effort to find out what exactly was going on and how if would affect are stay.
Working with a company that has its feet on the ground in Africa and knows the operators personally was really an advantage here. Eventually we had to change camps because of the situation but that was handled very swiftly." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
"My May 2024 trip"
Africa is magical and if you are thinking of going, you will not regret it. This was my third time and I will go back. We have many amazing memories of the landscape, people and animals that we will carry with us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"Our May 2024 trip"
It is interesting comparing our many visits as the weather, vegetation and river change with the seasons and phenomena like El Niño. Animal and bird densities also vary. The more often we return the more we learn about the wildlife and the ecosystem.
We are happy with Expert Africa and very pleased with the service that Lucy provided. However we are concerned about rising costs. We acknowledge that inflation has been a serious problem and that the US dollar remains very strong. We would like to make an annual visit to Zambia but know that this is no longer affordable."
