"More wildlife than ever"
I visited Zambia between 3 Sep 2010 and 18 Sep 2010
"We stayed in some great places and saw more wildlife than ever before (as much leopards as on our five previous trips to Africa combined).
We met a lot of nice people, some of who we will try to stay in contact with. We will definitely return to Zambia someday. A very diverse trip!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps you should market yourself more in the rest of Europe (outside the UK). During our trip we only met British people who booked with Expert Africa. People from other countries (e.g. the Netherlands) would not immediately think of Expert Africa when looking for a travel agent, while you're definitely the best we've had so far (after many Dutch disappointments)."

"Another good trip"
I visited Zambia between 18 Aug 2010 and 2 Sep 2010
"As a whole the trip was excellent, although somewhat marred by our time at Kaingo which was disappointing and Pioneer camp and lack of food on the return flight.
However, this does not detract from what was on the whole a very enjoyable trip.
Lucy was like a breath of fresh air after the earlier mishaps with regards to our booking and we much appreciated Chris's offer of the flight out upgrade." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"The best ever."
I visited Zambia between 18 Aug 2010 and 30 Aug 2010
"This was the best trip we ever had. It was only spoiled by:
. pre-booking very significant hiccups (our trip was for its main part "organised" by Anna Devereux....) and we met people while in Zambia who had the same encounter.
. Kaingo, definitely a no-return
. BA return flight" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"A fantastic trip to South Luangwa Valley"
I visited Zambia between 7 Aug 2010 and 18 Aug 2010
"It has been really a wonderful experience, in terms of places visited, people met and service received, so I want to thank you for the assistance received during this holiday, and also all the staff of Norman Carr Safaris, especially to the ones not mentioned in my feedback that did a great job behind the scenes!
For sure I will suggest Expert Africa as tour operator to everyone who will ask me about Zambia!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia and Malawi trip August 2010"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 5 Aug 2010 and 15 Aug 2010
"we were very pleased with how smoothly the entire trip went, especially as this was Africa and we were prepared for the unexpected.
We were surprised at the quality of the service with SA airlines and the only small criticism was that we were not met very efficiently at Lilongwe airport on our arrival from Mfui. I went chasing around the airport asking for Robin Popes representatives to be told by actual driver that someone should have told us where he was. But after this hiccough, he was very amenable and indeed drove us perfectly to Pumulani. So, perhaps, this was just a misunderstanding at the airport.
Overall, we had a wonderful time, thank you" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
