"Our Sept 2022 Safari trip"

I visited Zimbabwe between 11 Sep 2022 and 22 Sep 2022
"Schedule was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at each venue, and felt that the set up was very much to our liking.

Would do it again in a minute!

"Zimbabwe - at last !"

I visited Zimbabwe between 10 Sep 2022 and 23 Sep 2022
"We waited a long time to do this trip and it turned out to be very nearly as good as we hoped.

As in life in general, there were ups and downs - Bumi Hills was a massive surprise in a good way and Nyamatusi/ Mana Pools was a disappointment.

Overall we enjoyed it hugely and it was really nice to be back in Africa again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 7 Sep 2022 and 23 Sep 2022
"We had an excellent overall experience that exceeded our expectations in every way.

It really paid off going to a number of different lodges to give us experiences in different environments where the animal life was varied.

"My Sep 2022 trip"

I visited South Africa and 2 other countries between 3 Sep 2022 and 14 Sep 2022
"It was a trip of a lifetime. We throughly enjoyed ourselves and have great memories.

It was a long time coming as we booked pre-Covid and wondered if we would ever get there.

Expert Africa was instrumental in delivering this from the moment we contacted them to the fantastic planning mainly from Megan. She kept us up to date during Covid to when things were eventually opening up. Everything ran smoothly with no problems, especially flights and transfers.

I cannot thank them enough and would definitely recommend.

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 29 Aug 2022 and 27 Sep 2022
"We initially booked this trip with Expert Africa in late February/early March, 2020. Then Covid hit and the world went into lockdown. Maruska was our contact person from the start, making the reservations and setting up the itinerary for us.

We went through many ups and downs over the course of these two years, never sure if indeed the trip would materialize. Initially we postponed the September, 2020 trip to 2021, but it still did not seem wise to go then, so we postponed it to August/September, 2022. If we could have gotten most of our deposit returned, we would have cancelled the entire trip, with all of the continued worries and anxiety that Covid was inflicting on the world.

As Expert Africa has a firm policy of not returning deposits, we postponed the trip again to 2022. We are so glad we did! It all turned out fabulous, and thankfully, we remained healthy.

Throughout this long postponement, with the changes involved, Maruska was always exceedingly polite, understanding, and respectful of our worries and concerns. She did an extraordinary job arranging our trip, which involved four different countries, multiple flights, and many different camps.

The organization was outstanding and everything was seamless.

Truly incredible attention to detail. Thank you.

"Our Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 7 Aug 2022 and 20 Aug 2022
"This was another great trip from Expert Africa. It was originally supposed to happen in 2021, but it was well worth waiting for.

The way that Lucy organised the order of our visits, and the choice of camps that she recommended was excellent. Everything ran very smoothly and we saw so much game at the first camp we were almost spoiled for the rest! The camps all had different features and we enjoyed the different experiences at all of them. I had an ambition to see Wild Dogs which was fulfilled, and the Chobe NP probably has more elephants than you could possibly imagine.

The Guide at Linyanti Bush Camp rather let the side down, and I have elaborated in our detailed feedback on this camp, but that shouldn't detract from it being a lovely camp with great camp staff.

The only slight criticism is that we hadn't expected the ground to basically be sand which meant very, very bumpy rides, and that we didn't have the best footwear. This was very different ground to other safari venues we have visited - but we managed okay - might just be worth forewarning folk if they've not been to Botswana before.

Overall a fantastic holiday, and we shall of course go with Expert Africa on future journeys to that great continent.

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe and 1 other country between 6 Aug 2022 and 21 Aug 2022
"Overall a fantastic trip staying at four camps in the Okavango Delta and Zimbabwe with an overnight stop at the Victoria Falls hotel.

We had been to the camp in the Delta before and knew what to expect but it was just as good the second time around. It was our first time in Zim, visiting one camp in Hwange and two in Mana Pools, each was very good in its own way and we would certainly go back again.

All the logistics worked pretty seamlessly.

Thanks very much to the Expert Africa team for putting it together for us and rearranging it twice, just a shame we couldn't do it in 2020 when we originally planned." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Zimbabwe between 4 Aug 2022 and 17 Aug 2022
"We decided to go to Africa a little late in the day, to be honest, which limited our options somewhat. But I called Expert Africa at the recommendation of a friend who had travelled with them and immediately felt that Tom was realistic yet optimistic that we could make a great holiday.

I knew pretty much where we wanted to go but he pieced it all together beautifully and when we got Zimbabwe, everything worked like clockwork. I couldn't fault any of the process, from first conversation, through our holiday and back home.

Zimbabwe was wonderful; varied, fascinating and so full of smiling, enthusiastic locals. There is so much to do here in such contrasting landscapes, it makes for a great holiday, especially with kids who don't want to drive around looking for animals for too many days at a time. Vic Falls is stunning and has ample opportunity to scare and delight,

Matobo is beautiful, especially with the evening sun on the rocks, and Hwange is a great safari destination that feels somehow quite intimate without the hoards of safari vehicles you get in other parks. All in all an amazing holiday!

Thank you!

You were great! Especially since Tom went off on a trip just as we were tying things up, but others jumped in and sorted the final bits so I felt well supported. And good to talk to Tom on his return too!

Many thanks." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari
