Wow, Wow, Wow-A wonderful and exciting 1st Safari!!

The accommodation was excellent and comfortable and the teams at Robin Pope safaris were very knowledgeable, helpful and caring for us to have a memorable safari experience. We saw all the wildlife that we expected and more! We saw live kill events which, whilst a little upsetting reflected how the animals in the wild survived and found food etc.

Expert Africa were excellent in their customer service and care and our Consultant Freddie Sutton went the extra mile to ensure we had the right holiday experience for our first safari. We talked through the various options and were guided with useful information. The itinerary was followed very closely by Robin Pope Safaris and they also spoke very highly of Expert Africa. We were supplied with a travel guide to Zambia written by one of the Expert Africa team- Chris McIntyre which was invaluable and gave us background information on the people and culture, history, politics and economy and covered planning and preparation for the holiday and a guide as to the wildlife that was to be seen in the country-an EXCELLENT publication given to us as part of our travel literature, which also included "Notes for travellers to Zambia".

Tailor-made Zanzibar Holiday by SBH, 7 Oct 2017

Outstanding safari holiday, from first enquiry to touchdown.

This was without doubt the best holiday we have ever had - from start to finish it was filed with quality, excitement, hospitality and fun. Our holiday covered 3 totally different African locations, from a private beach lodge in Zanzibar, to an exquisite new tented camp in Tanzania, culminating in mind-boggling luxury on a rocky outcrop in the heart of the country.

Everything about our dealings with Expert Africa could not have been better - the local country knowledge and personal experience of the camps ensures that the London team know exactly what they are talking about. The company is not only expert in name - the London staff and African camps provide a consistently high level of expertise and excellence seldom encountered in the travel industry.

Namibi - a two week tour

We are a family of five and thoroughly enjoyed our two week self drive holiday in Namibia. Expert Africa organised our routes and accommodation and the entire holiday was a huge success. We saw most of the places in Namibia that any traveler would want to see and so many wonderful animals. We stayed in remote lodges and towns and we enjoyed everything from Sand Boarding on the Dunes to the magnificent watering holes of Etosha. This was ...

Expert Africa were immensely knowledgeable and helpful. We needed to change our itinerary a few times and they were understanding and accommodating. They used their knowledge to ensure we stayed in really lovely places and the safari they booked us onto with Wild Dog Safaris was excellent.

Tailor-made Zambia Safari by MR A -Bristol, 14 Sep 2017
Holiday Rating:

A unique way experience the wildlife of Zambia

Our itinerary was put together by ExpertAfrica and everything run smoothly. The recommended lodges were excellent and matched our needs perfectly. The game drives and walking safaris were fantastic and allowed us to get up close to the animals. As a once in a lifetime holiday it surpassed our expectations. I would recommend Zambia to anybody thinking of a safari but don't tell too many people as its a hidden gem.

Perfect and magical

From planning our trip of a lifetime to Zambia, from start to finish, this family holiday was magical. We spent 4 days in South Luangwa (Flatdogs Camp) with out 2 boys, aged 10 and 13, and the wildlife was awesome. We then spent 3 days R&R at Victoria Falls which was spectacular!

Rating for tour operator:

Patient, helpful, able to respond to a myriad of questions! Offered a range of options/ quotations based within our budget. They had already organised contingency plans when we were delayed at Dubai which thus affected our subsequent flights. Fortunately we didn't need to revert to the plans, but knowing they were sorted was reassuring. Expert Africa is certainly a company we will be returning to - as well as the many friend and family we have recommended them to.
