"Zambia June 2014"
I visited Zambia between 13 Jun 2014 and 25 Jun 2014
"Apart from the lengthy air journeys, extremely enjoyable.
I was amazed at the depth of scientific knowledge of the guides and their professionalism, and I was very happy with the food and accommodation and the trouble everyone went to to make sure our needs were met. The countryside was lovely and the flora and fauna excellent.

"My Jun 2014 trip"
I visited Zambia between 7 Jun 2014 and 20 Jun 2014
"This was the most incredible experience of my lifetime. It was a very smooth experience from camp to camp with NO GLITCHES. Everything was perfectly planned and professionally executed. We felt safe while we also were exhilarated I would highly recommend this experience to those seeking adventure and a real taste of the bush and Africa.
The one comment for change is to offer some diverse activities to break it up a little. Offer something...cooking, yoga, anything!
Thank you for this fantastic experience! It was amazing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

We are so pleased with Expert Africa's service and recommendations. We would like to work with you again on our next trip to Africa. Thank you so much!

"June in South Luangwa"
I visited Zambia between 31 May 2014 and 14 Jun 2014
"This was my first visit at this time of year, and it exceeded my expectations. Tall grass was an issue in some areas, especially the walking camps, but not in all the areas, and it wasn't as bad as I'd feared it might be. I had excellent leopard and lion viewing, four Pels Fishing owls and very enjoyable walks.
The trip was a mix of new camps (for me) and old favourites but all were excellent in their own slightly different ways. South Luangwa truly is a paradise, and still my favourite part of Africa. I look forward to returning next year.

"South Luanga Trip 2014"
I visited Zambia between 4 May 2014 and 10 May 2014
"We had a delay at the start of our trip when the BA flight had to return to London with engine trouble. This delay meant that we missed the SA flight from Johannesburg and the flight from Lusaka to Mfuwe. BA put us up in London and rebooked the SA portion for the following day and we very pleased with their response.
Eleanor kindly looked into getting us to Flatdogs but our friends who had arrived safely in Lusaka were able to arrange a private charter to Mfuwe for us with Sky Trails who we rate very highly.
We were delighted with the remainder of our trip and really enjoyed the two very different experiences at the camps. Cannot fault either place.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I honestly don't think so! It was very reassuring to be able to contact Expert Africa swiftly and for your attention. Although we managed to find a flight we appreciated your help. thanks to you all yet again. I do hope we will be back." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari
