"Our holiday of a lifetime"

I visited Zimbabwe between 17 Nov 2014 and 28 Nov 2014
"This truly was a holiday of a lifetime. We had an absolutely fantastic time.

We saw far more than we'd hoped in terms of the wildlife - they were more numerous, more varied and more close up than we'd hoped. We saw so many birds we almost lost count - 63 species in total that we remembered to write down. Everyone in Zimbabwe was so friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Everything went very smoothly and we felt in very good hands with Expert Africa." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We expected the best."

I visited Zimbabwe between 5 Oct 2014 and 16 Oct 2014
"And we think we got it.

A fantastic 9 day 3 location safari with light aircraft transfers between lodges. Clearly Zimbabwe is going through some troubled times but this in no way detracted from our trip, People are genuinely pleased to see you, none of our camps where full and the parks seemed very quiet in terms of visitors, but plenty of game. We had a fantastic trip that will live long in our memory.

A special word for Rhino Safari camp, spend 2 nights here for a totally different amazing experience.

Difficult to suggest an improvement, our second Expert Africa trip, will definitely return." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Jul 2014 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe between 24 Jul 2014 and 5 Aug 2014
"Our 7th trip to Africa and the 3rd with Expert Africa. Some real highlights, guides were second-to-none, but overall possibly our least favourite trip. Travelling time and stress to reach Zimbabwe was high (2 hours to get through flight connections at OR Tambo was not fun!). Some special game sightings, but we certainly felt there was less game than in other countries and that poaching was a major and growing problem. If we were to return, I'd want to look at a different route to get there. Having said that the light plane flights between camps were flawless, punctual and fun. I would also say that the trip was not the best value of our trips." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"A Good Return to Zimbabwe"

I visited Zimbabwe between 15 Jul 2014 and 26 Jul 2014
"The trip was well organised and on the whole satisfactory.

Game viewing was a little disappointing, in that it wasn't very abundant. On the other hand, though, the scenery was breath-taking." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Wonderful holiday!"

I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 11 Mar 2013 and 28 Mar 2013
"Have recommended you to several friends.

Very impressed by the response by Tracey last Saturday when we missed our flight and had to stay in Joburg for a night. Everyone was informed and the trip round Vic Falls was organised for us so that we could get to see the Falls the same afternoon as we arrived.

Well done! A really excellent service and we had a marvellous holiday. Thank you very much." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Oct 2012 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe between 7 Oct 2012 and 15 Oct 2012
"see comment - it ended up being an absolutely great trip, but I have to come back another time for a Mana Pools to the Gorge trip.

The only point of critique I have, is that I wished I would have been informed about the possibility to go from Mana on downriver through the Zambesi Gorge." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 2 on a Zimbabwe safari
