"Vic Falls and Botswana really great"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 5 Sep 2016 and 16 Sep 2016
"Our whole trip was amazing and went perfectly.
Thank you so much to Nick (and later Tracy) at Expert Africa for helping me with my itinerary and as usual you arranged everything with the lodges and agents to perfection. We could not fault anything, we felt really well looked after and didn't have to think of anything except enjoying ourselves.The recommendations and discussions over lodges were spot on and we saw everything we wanted to in very comfortable surroundings.
We have used you many times in the past and will not hesitate to again." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia Adventure- Holiday of a Lifetime."
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 27 Aug 2016 and 21 Sep 2016
"We thoroughly enjoyed the trip; it met all of our expectations, for country and wildlife, and above at times. Namibia is a lovely country with nice people. The places we stayed at almost always got a "wow!" on arrival, what more can we say?
We would return very happily.
Fitting Victoria Falls in was good, but perhaps an expensive luxury." Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"My Aug 2016 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 22 Aug 2016 and 7 Sep 2016
"It was a delightful safari.
Mention should be made of Wilderness Safaris in Maun, who on learning of our loss of luggage immediately took over the task of locating it and produced within a matter of minutes two emergency bags for us. After nearly 24 hours of travel their "don't worry we will sort it" approach was most welcome.
Our road transport from Kasane to the border was in a safari vehicle - driving at 40/50 mph in an open vehicle, being blasted by the wind, was extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately the second vehicle over the border was a normal minibus." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari

"Our August 2016 trip"
I visited Zimbabwe between 20 Aug 2016 and 29 Aug 2016
"We had a wonderful time on our eight day trip to Victoria Falls and Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.
We have only good things to say about the help and guidance we received from Nick at expert Africa. He understood perfectly the kind of trip we were trying to make, made valuable suggestions that improved our itinerary, and he chose fantastic lodges for us to stay in Hwange.
After Nick left the company, Freddie took over for a smooth transition." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"A fine intro to Africa - and fun for us too"
I visited Zimbabwe between 5 Aug 2016 and 11 Aug 2016
"This was our 17th trip with Expert Africa (dating back to 2006); but it was somewhat different to most of our previous ones in that we had two family members with us making their first trip to Africa.
Our guests had spent two weeks in Zambia with us before we took this trip, mainly at our home just outside Livingstone. But, other than a day at Masuku Lodge just north of Choma and a couple of sunset cruises around 'our' patch of the Zambezi, this had not been safari as such. We therefore wanted to give them a good taste of the wildlife. We picked The Hide in Hwange NP and Victoria Falls (Gorges Lodge) because of their proximity to our home in Livingstone and our wish for our guests to see the Victoria Falls on both sides.
This turned out to be about as good a final week to their three week trip as we could have imagined, not only in absolute terms but also as a great counterpoint to the time our guests spent in Zambia. It was also very good from our perspective too. Getting such a good balance is not straightforward and we are grateful to the team at Expert Africa for once again coming up trumps."

"Namibia to Mozambique"
I visited Mozambique and 2 other countries between 21 Jul 2016 and 12 Aug 2016
"This was a special trip for us as a family and Tracy put together some really great alternatives in order to make our timings work. Each country was different and immaculately planned. The attention to detail and our particular needs was expertly handled and the suggestions given to us were all perfectly matched.
This trip was fabulous, it will be a memory which never fades." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 5 on a Mozambique holiday
