"Zimbabwe: still beautiful and welcoming"
I suppose the unexpected thing about our trip was that apart from a delightful train journey which gave us double the travel time we had paid for, things actually do work. There were unavoidable delays from time to time, but there were no glitches in the arrangements made for local transfers or accommodation.
All in all it was a wonderful three weeks, and my thanks to EA for their excellent service.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No improvements possible on the service we received from both Freddie and Claire.
We were picky and difficult and not altogether consistent, and they managed us brilliantly, thanks so much." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zimbabwe safari
"South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi"
We would gladly go back to Zambia and visit these parks again. We enjoyed every camp, with Kafunta best for driving, Island Bush and Three Rivers best for walking, and Chongwe best for boating and canoeing.
Expert Africa's arrangements worked perfectly, with all transfers on time and no difficulties with any of the reservations." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Our Africa trip June-July 2018"
The back and forth of the entire itinerary was time consuming, paring down stopovers, arranging guest houses. Megan was up to it and then some. She never failed to respond with timely, logical ideas. If we end up in London soon enough we'd love to stop at the office and shake her hand in thanks for her very professional, expedient work.
It was a trip of a lifetime, though we travel a lot. It bears now only great memories and nothing we would change. We have hundreds of fine photos that we are thoroughly enjoying. Carolyn's journal is loaded with entries describing our encounters, and sketches and paintings of the abundant beauty we shared.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Megan deserves a large Christmas bonus. At least a larger portion of plum pudding! We will refer our friends to you and use you again when Africa hits the travel calendar. Perhaps Tanzania or Madagascar. We do a different continent most every year." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari
"Trip of a Lifetime"
Botswana and our trip really exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
