"Our August 2022 trip of a lifetime"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 4 Aug 2022 and 21 Aug 2022
"This is our second trip organized by Expert Africa, and once again, it surpassed our already high expectations.

Despite a complicated itinerary, it went very smoothly, thanks to Expert Africa's partnerships with excellent companies and lodges, but also and especially thanks to the exceptional, proactive, meticulous preparation and guidance by Maruska and the Expert Africa team.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We have nothing but positive feedback." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"My Aug 2022 trip"

I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 2 Aug 2022 and 20 Aug 2022
"Little more to add to what I have said about each lodge/element individually. The whole trip was wonderful and exceeded expectations.

The booking process was really efficient, informative and painless thanks to Tracy's help and availability throughout. I had a particular itinerary in mind but was not sure whether it would work in practice. With Tracy's help it became a reality and the girls and I had a very memorable trip of a lifetime with lots of photographs to enjoy for years afterwards.

I couldn't fault any of it - all the connections worked well and no complaints about any aspect.

Thank you so much for all the help and making it a reality. I really hope it will have given my girls a taste for travel in the future." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"My Jul 2022 trip"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2022 and 13 Aug 2022
"A fantastic holiday experience only marred slightly by abysmal international flights with British Airways which is not Expert Africa's fault in any way.

Very, very pleased with Tracy Lederer (and Lucy Copson who stood in for her when Tracy was away).

Lodges well chosen with wonderful accommodation, guides, variety of landscape, wildlife and activities." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 15 on a Botswana safari

"Jul 2022 trip to Zambia"

I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 10 Jul 2022 and 25 Jul 2022
"Our trip was orgianally booked in November of 2019 for August of 2020- then the pandemic hit. We briefly considered rebooking for 2021 but ultimately decided on July 2022. Maruska was patient and attentive through all of the contortions of those two years.
Early in our trip one member was ill and had to stay an additional day at our first lodge to recover. Maruska was on leave, but Expert Africa answered an email about the problem within 15 minutes. They were able to figure out rebooking the flights to our next camp as well as making sure that all parties involved knew of the problem and new schedule details.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Wonderful service, no suggestions for improvement." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 10 Jul 2022 and 25 Jul 2022
"This trip exceeded expectations. The accommodations and service were stellar. Along with outstanding encounters with wildlife, the guides and support staff at the camps were memorable.

I can’t say enough about Maruska who worked with us since 2019 to make this trip happen.

We cancelled twice due to Covid, and we are so happy she stuck with us to see it through!

Her recommendations for where to go and how long to stay were spot on for this group. She always communicated in a clear and timely manner. Maruska, I’ll miss working with you!
I also want to give a shout out to Claire who was covering for Marusaka and who stepped in when we had to stay over an extra night in Victoria Falls due to my husband’s illness. She was able to change the flights so we could get to Tafika, she somehow seamlessly arranged the ground transportation to the airport in Livingstone, and when we finally arrived late in Mfuwe, there was someone from Tafika waiting to drive us the 2.5 hour ride to camp. And she checked back in to see how my husband was doing, as did Maruska while she was on her vacation!

Expert Africa does a superb job. We hope we can plan a future trip with you folks, specifically, Maruska!

Thank you!!!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
