Tailor-made Namibia Safari by Xerx1, 30 Nov 2017
Holiday Rating:

Great - roadtrip and then a walking safari

we spent two weeks - the first driving on the Caprivi Strip (Namibia/Botswana) which we specifically wanted to do and then the second was a walking safari with Remote Africa Safaris based in Tafika. We stayed at 3 of their camps and loved the experience of walking (and cycling) in the bush.

Rating for tour operator:

They listened to what we wanted to do, made appropriate suggestions and then booked all the trip - car, internal flights, accommodation, road and bus transfers etc. We stayed at the sort of places we wanted to stay at and did the activities we had asked to do. Everything worked incredibly smoothly.

Fantastic safari in Southern Tanzania

12 nights on safari in Ruaha and Selous. Great accommodation, fantastic wildlife and lovely people. So much to see and do, but peaceful and uncrowded.

Rating for tour operator:

The service from Expert Africa was first class. Their pricing is clear and transparent. They really listened to what we wanted at the outset, and the holiday they put together exceeded all expectations. As the name suggests they really are experts on Africa.

Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by J J, 13 Nov 2017

Safari in Southern Tanzania

We had a wonderfully varied trip staying in excellent camps. We started at Greystoke in Mahale where we had amazing views of Chimpanzees, then, on to Jongomero at one end of Ruaha and after that,at the other end, Kigelia. We finished at Impala camp in Selous. The landscapes were fantastic and we were rewarded with good animal and bird sightings, most of which we had to ourselves.

Our tour operator, Expert Africa, is very knowledgeable and is good at listening and then making suggestions for the sort of trip we might like. We always feel they will come up with a plan that will suit us and are good at tweaking all the component parts. We have never been disappointed in any trip we have done with them.

Tailor-made N. Tanzania Safari by AK, 10 Nov 2017

Expert Africa Safari to Tanzania

Excellent from planning our trip with Expert Africa through to the reality which was beyond what we could have expected. Excellent lodges, gresat guiding and such game viewing as we could only have wished for in our wildest dreams. If you do one thing go to Mahale and going trekking with the Chimps !

We have now used Expert Africa twice for trips to Botswana/Namibia and Tanzania. On both occasions the advice and service in planning the trips has been excellent and the trips have then surpassed our expectations.

Tailor-made Zimbabwe Safari by doctor john, 3 Nov 2017
Holiday Rating:

A great safari in Zimbabwe --more people should go !

Excellent lodges scattered across the huge country. Needed a lot of long distance travel but it was worth it. Lots of Elephants and excellent sighting of cheetahs, also lots of birds. Well organised and no unpleasant surprises.

Tailor-made Zambia Safari by Pete, 3 Nov 2017
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful safari in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park

We have been on several safaris and for the first time returned to the same game area. This was because the camps that we experienced in the northern part of the Park are excellent with fantastically skilled guides, and with relatively few camps in the area the animals do not get surrounded by game drive vehicles. Great sightings of leopards, lions, elephants, and wild dogs - in the case of leopards we had almost 20 lengthy sightings by day ...

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa are knowledgeable and give sound advice. This was our second time using them. Our travel arrangements were fairly complex but they handled everything perfectly, even changing the dates of 3 flights after we had booked, to accommodate a change of plan. On our return a friend asked us about where we would recommend in Botswana for a honeymoon safari and we put them in touch with Expert Africa and they visited their offices the next day.

Tailor-made Zambia Safari by DaveD, 8 Oct 2017

Expert Africa put together a great package for us to experience Zambia at its best.

We had a five-centre holiday in Zambia, starting with the Victoria Falls before moving to the South Luangwa National Park and then on to the Lower Zambezi National Park.

Rating for tour operator:

This was our third safari put together by Expert Africa and they showed yet again how thoroughly they know Africa. All the camps chosen were well-know to their consultant Lucy Copson and lived up to their descriptions. I would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa ahead of other premium tour operators to anyone planning a trip and will certainly be consulting them again in the future.
