"Zimbabwe Safari"
I visited Zimbabwe between 2 Jun 2016 and 14 Jun 2016
"Great experience, the whole trip was very well organised and I have already recommended you to friends.
The team member who helped us was Nick Hobbs but I had to select someone below and he isn't named so I also had contact with James." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zimbabwe safari

"A very very special holiday"
I visited Zimbabwe between 28 May 2016 and 7 Jun 2016
"Outstanding in every respect
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
They only thing which took us by surprise was how cold it was in Hwange, particularly in an open vehicle in the early morning and evening. An really warm jacket, gloves and headgear such as a beanie would be things I would pack next time - but perhaps I missed that advice." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

We have both travelled to several areas in Southern Africa and this has to be the easiest trip we have arranged, keep it up." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Our exciting and varied Zim safari"
I visited Zimbabwe between 30 Oct 2015 and 11 Nov 2015
"The combination of Mana Pools, Lake Kariba and Hwange gave us a varied and interesting view of Zimbabwe safaris - it felt like 3 different safaris rolled into one! We thoroughly enjoyed the trip which went totally without hiccup from start to finish.
We were a little surprised that the dining arrangements at the Wilderness camps were not automatically communal - indeed the default was separate tables (although Ruckomechi did ask our preference on arrival). But this was quickly changed when the camp managers realised that the majority of their guests welcomed dining with their fellow travellers. We totally understand that some may not wish to share a table but in our experience this is part of the overall safari experience." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Southern african tour"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 27 Oct 2015 and 18 Nov 2015
"This trip was a great introduction to Africa! The amount of preparation and information provided by Expert Africa meant that there was very little that we had to worry about, but still felt that we were in control of our own adventure.
Overall our highlights were exploring the sand dunes at Sossusvlei, our day trip out of Swakopmund to Sandwich Harbour, the wildlife at Etosha NP, the village life and waterways of the Caprivi Strip and the up close and personal experience of Camp Hwange.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We were incredibly impressed with the service we got from Maruska, she put together our trip at very short notice, was always quick to respond to emails, and seemed incredibly knowledgeable when we spoke to her on the phone. We would happily recommend her and Expert Africa to anyone wanting to book a trip to Africa." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
