"My Sep 2013 trip"
We hadn't realised quite how close we would get to the animals - 1 meter away from a lion was an unforgettable experience

"My Sep 2013 trip"
For a month long holiday there was only one minor one hiccup so that's pretty good. The Wild Horizons road transport from Zambezi Sun to Livingstone Airport didn't turn up. They then didn't answer any of the contact numbers incl their emergency mobile so that is probably more of a concern. No problem we just got the hotel to order us a taxi. A Wild Horizons rep finally called the hotel & said their vehichle wouldn't start that morning & they had another vehicle on the way. We said that given the time we were now taking whatever turned up first (which was the taxi). To their credit Wild Horizans must have contacted the taxi driver and told him to return the fare to us.
Proably the only thing we would have changed on the holiday was to sway Tafika camp in Sth Luangwa NP for one that was on a perennial river with watersports such as canoeing (eg Lower Zambezi NP)
Maruska was extremely helpful with planning our trip and very responsive to our questions .. thanks Maruska
PS: We don't normally have our trips organised by a travel agent and only initially contacted Expert Afrika for the Busanga & Tafika bookings .. but then Maruska offered to book most of the other accn & transfers & that's what happened. Very unusual for us to have transfer cars waiting at an airport etc with our name on a card & we don't see much of an advantage over just getting a bus/taxi .. but i can see that some folks would love the certainty of transport waiting for them

"An Incredible Trip!"
Expert Africa, in particular Elizabeth, was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful when recommending which parks to visit and camps to stay at. Whenever I had a query, emails were responded to immediately by the staff. Our whole trip was seamless and we are so impressed with the service from Expert Africa. We will definitely use this company when travelling to Africa again and will recommend you to all our friends and family.
Thank you for an incredible trip!
