"Amazing trip to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 25 Aug 2013 and 8 Sep 2013
"We've had a fantastic trip to Zambia (Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa) beating all our expectations.
The itinerary was perfect, the accomodations excellent, the wildlife spectacular and as one of multiple highlights we saw even wild dogs on our transfer from Chikoko Tree Camp to Lunagwa River Camp when passing the Nsefu sector - really amazing!
Hope to come back soon to these beautiful places!!!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No - everything was perfect !!!
This was our second trip with Expert Africa (2012 Victoria Falls & Botswana) and we've had the same great experience with excellent service, good advice and unbeatable friendly and helpful team members!!!!
Dear Ellie - thanks again so much for all your efforts and I would be happy if you would help us again when planning another trip to Africa!
All the best

"Superb trip to Zambia"
I visited Zambia between 21 Aug 2013 and 2 Sep 2013

"Africa and Safaris"
I visited Zambia between 21 Aug 2013 and 12 Sep 2013
"We had a wonderful trip to Zambia.
We were able to see all the animals on our list plus some more. Learning about the birds, insects, trees and plants added to that experience. The Zambian people we met were all so welcoming wherever we went. The trip was excellent in all aspects. The connections to each segment went very smoothly and being met at the airports provided us with a sense of security. The safari lodges and camps were a good choice.
We'd be happy to return to Africa and book with Expert Africa again." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"One of the best holidays"
I visited Zambia between 18 Aug 2013 and 26 Aug 2013
"We had a wonderful holiday. Having lived in Zambia and travelled to South Luangwa many times, I was hoping that my 12-year-old would enjoy his first trip there. It surpassed my expectations - and his.
Everything ran incredibly smoothly, from the very friendly Tours Africa crew greeting us after landing, to all the transfers and the camps themselves, we were in extremely good hands. My son was blown away by the wildlife (our first drive, only a couple of hours after landing at Mfuwe including a wonderful leopard sighting), and also by the friendliness of all the staff and the warm welcome.
Chris's latest Bradt Guide was a great update on recent developments in the country as well as a reminder of the diversity of Zambia and the spectacular wildlife you can see. And we were well-advised to start our holiday in a more flexible camp before moving to a more remote section of the park." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Another Mind Blowing Safari"
I visited Zimbabwe and 3 other countries between 13 Aug 2013 and 6 Sep 2013
"My trip couldn't have been better. Nick Hobbs did a superb job of arranging all the logistics so that almost everything went smoothly. I have to send my special thanks to managing director Chris McIntyre for sending me my binoculars after I misplaced them on a flight between Tuba Tree Camp and Lagoon Camps. I received them at City Lodge and Chris even paid for shipping them. I was truly impressed by his kindness and generosity.
This was my second safari with Expert Africa and I'm already going to another one next year. I've already been on five safaris, but I still have along bucket list of locations in Africa I want to either visit or revisit.
I love the fact that unlike it's numerous competitors in Great Britain, the United States, and South Africa Expert Africa places the emphasis as much as possible on visiting unfenced national park or concessions, and staying at lodges which aren't fenced as well. This in my experience and many other safari goers I've met greatly improves gong on safari.
I will undoubtedly take more safaris with ExpertAfrica." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari
