Fabulous self drive trip around Namibia

We drove for 3 weeks around Namibia visiting places we hadn'tr been to on a previous holiday. The scenery is phenomenal and varied and a very safe country.

We hvae used Expert Africa to organise three trips. This time due to unrest in another country, we had to organise the holiday in 2 weeks. Maruske Adye was extremely knowledgable on Namibia, gave us greta advice and made the whole planni and booking extremely easy. We would (and have) strongly recomended Ecxpert Africa to friends.

Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by 60th birthday trip, 7 Oct 2016

60th birthday trip to the eclipse in Tanzania

Since my birthday and the solar eclipse were so close I decided to knock something off my bucket list as a birthday gift. My husband and I went to Tanzania on safari to see the solar eclipse and snorkel off Zanzibar. We spent time in Ruaha and Selous. Both parks had lovely "glamps" and plenty of game and bird sightings. I would not have gone to Tanzania except that the eclipse was best seen there. I was wrong. It was better than my previous ...

Since my birthday and the solar eclipse were so close I decided to knock something off my bucket list as a birthday gift. My husband and I went to Tanzania on safari to see the solar eclipse and snorkel off Zanzibar. We spent time in Ruaha and Selous. Both parks had lovely "glamps" and plenty of game and bird sightings. I would not have gone to Tanzania except that the eclipse was best seen there. I was wrong. It was better than my previous trips to Namibia, South Africa, Zambia or even Botswana.

I have been to subsaharan Africa 7 times but this is the first time I used Expert Africa. Their website caught my eye and proved to be a superb resource. Ellie was prompt pleasant and professional. When I had trouble paying the final installment on the web I shot off an email and they returned it almost immediately (even though it was 1 AM GMT). Turned out it was my fault as I didn't know my husband had already made an account. I will use Expert Africa for any future travel to Africa even though they are in England and I am in the USA.

Expert Africa are tireless when it comes to helping you plan your perfect african safari holiday. All the paperwork is first class and the arrangements whilst on holiday with the numerous African travel agents, airlines etc is second to none. Everything went seemlessly even though our itinerary was complicated.

A special holiday perfectly delivered

A trip to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. The trip included stays in 3 game lodges and travel from the UK . All aspects of the trip were organised by Expert Africa.

Tailor-made Malawi Holiday by Dr. D from Salisbury, 21 Sep 2016
Holiday Rating:

Holiday of a lifetime

Our trip was a two country (Zambia and Malawi) safari holiday with Expert Africa and Robin Pope Safaris. From start to finish I cannot fault our experiences. We had the most exciting time and have the most vivid memories which will always live with us. We certainly did not expect to be so intimately exposed to the wildlife in such a safe and informative manner.
