Ol Pejeta Bush Camp experience, Kenya
Excellent Bush Camp experience and safaris in all respects, including travel arrangements.

Cannot be faulted, knowledge, service, speed of response, very pleasant.





A very good holiday apart from problems with flight out.
A tailor-made trip to Zanzibar, snorkelling, swimming, birdwatching and sight-seeing. Arrived a day later than I should have done because of a long delay to the flight out which entailed an overnight stay at Heathrow Premier Inn. Despite that, once in Zanzibar I greatly enjoyed my stay there at two different lodges. Interesting and informative excursions and some wonderful snorkelling.

Expert Africa arranged a tailor-made trip for me very efficiently and sent me a guidebook to Zanzibar, which was very useful. I very much appreciate the work put in by James. Apart from the long delay to the flight out, the trip went to plan.





ExpertAfrica Kenya Safari
At our request, ExpertAfrica organized a personalized trip to Kenya for three of us (parents and a grown child), within our budgetary constraints. We visited three camps, each offering a view of different aspects of safaris in Kenya. El Karama Eco-Lodge offered an interesting link between historic cattle ranching and a low key impact on life in Kenya. The Mara Ngenche Safari Camp took us into a dense, thickly-forested riverine forest. ...

We visited three camps, each offering a view of different aspects of safaris in Kenya. El Karama Eco-Lodge offered an interesting link between historic cattle ranching and a low key impact on life in Kenya. The Mara Ngenche Safari Camp took us into a dense, thickly-forested riverine forest. We were quite isolated until we emerged into the savannas to find wildebeest (etc) and the ever-present lions--and the flocks of tourists in their many vehicles, including buses. Quite a contrast with the El Karama area. Our third stop was the elegant Tortilis Camp with huge herds of elephants. An interesting extra event here was a most interesting visit to a Maasai village.

Richard Trillo from ExpertAfrica did a wonderful job, integrating our desires for a trip to Kenya and a modest budget. It wasn't "cheap" but nevertsheless "modest". Richard listened carefully, heard what we wanted, and organized everything: flights, pickups, camp reservations. In fact, down to the last detail. And everything worked out! We were immensely pleased with ExpertAfrica and would highly recommend them for safaris.





Expert Africa are the Experts.

We benefited for their detailed support when planning our trip and when we needed their support when travelling in a remote regions, their response was appropriate effective and timely; altogether they all made this trip one of our greatest experiences ever!





A holiday of a lifetime to Tanzania
We had the most amazing holiday on safari at Siwandu followed by a relaxing stay on Mafia Island at Pole Pole. The services and facilities at both venues were fantastic and way above our expectations. Both venues are run in a professional, efficient and friendly way with excellent staff and great facilities.

Our Great Namibian Adventure
Choosing a self drive safari in Namibia as a 70th birthday experience seemed quite bold to our friends and family, but with the support and advice of Expert Africa we had a stunning holiday. We felt safe at all times. The lodges and camps were well chosen, providing the luxury that we wanted, close to the real Namibia. Welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable staff in amazing environments provided us with the holiday of a lifetime.

From an initial enquiry, to solving problems due flight delays, Expert Africa provided expert service. We have travelled with them before and once again they demonstrated a wide knowledge of local conditions, excellent communications and provided comprehensive information for our trip. We would happily travel with them again.





Amazing and unique experience
We (my husband and I) travelled to Namibia with Expert Africa. We visited Soussesvlei,Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, Damaraland, Etosha National Park, Okonjima Cheetah Reserve and Erongo Safari Lodge. We had a truly memorable holiday experience. We climbed sand dunes, kayaked with seals, saw some amazing geologic wonders and ancient cave art. We were fortunate enough to see a huge variety of wildlife. Overall an exceptional holiday.

We had an absolutely fantastic experience thanks to Expert Africa. The accommodation was above and beyond what we had hoped for. The trips and experiences we were lucky enough to have were very memorable. The whole holiday proceeded without a hitch thanks to the organization of Expert Africa. We hope to travel with them again soon and really hope to return to Namibia in the not too distant future.





An absolutely amazing safari followed by a wonderful beach chill-out
The safari, to Selous and Ruaha, was the best we have ever been on, both in terms of the game to see and the quality of the accommodation. It was really well organised, and all went like clockwork but with a very human touch. The week we had on the north eastern Zanziabar coast aftervthe safari was really relaxing in a beautiful place with really good friendly service.

Consistently reliable and knowledgeable





Amazing trip, fantastically organised
Our self drive trip to Namibia was fantastic, the accommodation selected by Expert Africa was in keeping with the feel of the trip. Conservation and ensuring minimum impact on the environment was central to all the areas we stayed in. We learned so much about Namibia, from the material we were given by Expert Africa and from the fantastic people we met in the lodges and camps throughout the trip. We were confident that our safety was a priority ...

Expert Africa selected accommodation that was in fitting with the environment, they had excellent support on the ground from Wilderness Safaris. They provided a book on Namibia as well as a short handbook with practical tips that really helped us throughout the trip. They even supplied a map with the route highlighted for us. Most of our correspondence was by email making it really easy to organise the trip at our convenience. However, as needed I was able to ring and speak to the staff member designated to organising our trip.
