Reviews of safaris to Hwange National Park
We have always listened to our travellers, and now you can learn from them also. Below are links to feedback from recent trips - these are their views, not ours! See what they think of us, and about our trips to Africa:
"My Apr 2025 trip"
We didn't realise our transport from Vic Falls to Hwange would be so early so we lost out on some of the offerings at Vic falls Hotel, like a free massage we couldn't book and a morning river cruise we had hoped for. This early flight could have been communicated earlier for optimal day planning. But apart from that minor issue we were very pleased with everything as always!"

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really. One thing we would have taken had we known was our gators for the walking safaris as `stuff` really gets into your shoes and socks." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari
"My Jan 2025 trip"
This was a totally different, but fascinating experience.
It was a little wet at Amalinda but not enough to spoil it, and they badly need the rain." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
"3-generation family tour"
Lucy took a lot of trouble putting together an itinerary in which everyone’s requests could be included. She made some excellent suggestions for accommodation and activities, which we all enjoyed. The Zambezi cruise on New Year’s Eve was just one example.
As there were eight of us for almost half of the tour, we were treated as a ‘group’. This meant we had our own vehicle and guide for safaris, which was very relaxing and we all had a lot of fun.
A major flight delay at the start threatened to seriously derail our itinerary. It was a couple of days before Christmas, but the team at Expert Africa sprang into action and got everything back on track incredibly quickly.
The South African part of the holiday was just the two of us. It included a hire car and some very high quality accommodation.
We had very high expectations of this trip and were not disappointed, thanks to Lucy and her colleagues." Read full review: 32 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari
"My Sep 2024 trip"
"My Aug 2024 trip to Zimbabwe"
When the documentation arrived in our leather travel pouch we were so impressed by the level of detail - all those names and phone numbers provided really did inspire confidence and reassurance. We felt we were in safe hands. Never before , no mater how much we have paid, have we had such a level of detailed input. And this was very much appreciated.
Thank you to everybody who might have been involved in putting together our unforgettable holiday and a special thanks to Tom!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari
"My Aug 2024 trip"
"Zimbabwe Aug 2024 trip"
"My Jul 2024 trip"
We complained at the time to Jay from Amalinda as they have very nice mini buses which would have made the journey more tolerable. Also, we were flexible with the dates of our trip so if flights had been available, we would have much preferred them." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari
"My Jun 2024 trip"
Excellent trip from start to finish. Everything went like clockwork with no issues. We had our best sightings on this trip and managed to see wild dogs which was a lot of fun.
Very happy with the experience." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
