We knew which lodge we wanted to book when we contacted our tour operator. However questions do always come up once the trip gets closer and we always received a very friendly and prompt reply. The amount of information we received was also incredible! We will definitely book again with Expert Africa!

Wonderful safari in the South Luangwa

This was our ninth safari trip ( all organised by Expert Africa) and we returned to Zambia for the fifth time. The South Luangwa National Park is a wonderful destination, and we enjoyed staying 11 nights in various Robin Pope Safari camps.

One of the best we've ever had, which fulfilled all our expectations

Gorilla trekking in Rwanda, and Safari in Tanzania. We hoped to see a river crossing of Wildebeest - and our mission was definitely accomplished. We finished with a few days at the Ngorongoro Crater.

Expert Africa gave us all the help and attention we needed to plan and book our holiday. Their knowledge of the camps we wanted to visit and the areas of Africa we were interested in going to was very detailed. The personal service that Eleanor at Expert Africa offered could not have been more helpful and accommodating and her knowledge was unsurpassed.

Two in the South Luwanga Park, two in the Lower Zambezi Park and one at Viictoria Falls. We loved each and every camp. The game drives were terrific and we really enjoyed the other activities including the hikes, canoe trips and fishing on the Zambezi ...

Two in the South Luwanga Park, two in the Lower Zambezi Park and one at Viictoria Falls. We loved each and every camp. The game drives were terrific and we really enjoyed the other activities including the hikes, canoe trips and fishing on the Zambezi River. Based upon all that we had read, we had high expectations for the camps and the safari experience - but our high expectations were met and even exceeded. We can high,u recommend Licy and Expert Africa to anyone thinking about a safari to Zambia. We are selective travelers but we were so pleased with every aspect of our trip that we will be customers of Lucy and Expert Africa again.

Rating for tour operator:

Lucy at Expert Africa was terrific to work with. We found her to be super responsive. She was extremely knowledgeable about Zambia and the various camps. Our itinerary was perfect in every respect. No problems. No complaints.
