Tracy Lederer at Expert Africa dealt with all our requests and constant changes with professionalism throughout and her knowledge and foresight on everything involved on our whole trip was outstanding I would definitely recommend her and Expert Africa to others





A Trip down Memory Lane - after forty years!
We chose to celebrate our Fortieth Wedding Anniversary with a personalised trip to old haunts. Instead of the camping of our youth, the accommodation was a mix of five star and friendly African. Fortunately the only changes we noticed were the tribesmen carrying guns instead of spears, and the villagers living on Aid wearing European clothes and demanding money for photographs. It was fun to find we could still speak some Swahili, and to ...
We chose to celebrate our Fortieth Wedding Anniversary with a personalised trip to old haunts. Instead of the camping of our youth, the accommodation was a mix of five star and friendly African. Fortunately the only changes we noticed were the tribesmen carrying guns instead of spears, and the villagers living on Aid wearing European clothes and demanding money for photographs. It was fun to find we could still speak some Swahili, and to reread The Constant Gardener after visiting Oasis Lodge and actually visiting Wolfgang, mentioned in the book.

Every place they selected was incredible. It was all organised like clockwork. Every part of their service was faultless. We were very fussy about what we wanted and they obliged us in every aspect. Superb. Expert Africa, (they are) Highly personalized individual service





Terrific safari in Tanzania
Expert Africa helped me to organise a bespoke holiday to Tanzania. As a frequent visitor to Africa I had specific requests and they managed to accommodate all of my preferences. I brought my parents (in their 60s) on their first trip to Africa. Trip took in the Crater and Serengeti, along with a few days in Zanzibar.

Expert Africa truly give expert advice, as their staff regularly visit the accommodation options in person. All hotel recommendations were spot on and the logistics were seamless. Their staff literally write the books (travel guides) of several African countries!





Expert Africa were, as usual, excellent in their advice, general efficiency and friendliness.
The holiday involved visiting two game parks (Ruaha and Selous) and a visit to Zanzibar. Total length of the trip was just short of three weeks.

A brilliant 70th birthday treat!
Given our fairly specific criteria, Expert Africa put together a varied and comprehensive package, visiting 5 venues in Kenya and Tanzania; it covered virtually all East African animals and a wide range of terrain and habitats... The camps were varied and all good, in different ways. Everything worked well including transfers, drivers and connections... As was pointed out it wasn't a standard first safari package, but as independent and ...
Given our fairly specific criteria, Expert Africa put together a varied and comprehensive package, visiting 5 venues in Kenya and Tanzania; it covered virtually all East African animals and a wide range of terrain and habitats... The camps were varied and all good, in different ways. Everything worked well including transfers, drivers and connections... As was pointed out it wasn't a standard first safari package, but as independent and experienced travellers it hit the spot... I would recommend Expert Africa for an excellent and worry free safari experience... We saw everything we hoped for and more... We visited: Nairobi National Park Laikipia Wilderness Encounter Mara Impala Camp, Salous Mwagusi Camp, Ruaha

Safari trip exceeded our expectations
This was a 17-night trip in the Highlands, Ngorongoro crater and Serengeti areas of Northern Tanzania staying at one hotel and three Asilia camps. We saw a fabulous amount of wildlife, many of them close encounters, with uniformly excellent and knowledgeable guides.
