Tailor-made Namibia Safari by JonnyM, 2 Jun 2016

The perfect safari holiday experience

A two week safari holiday in Namibia. We wanted to trek the Desert elephants and rhinos and to follow leopard and cheetah. We got lucky and the trip met all our expectations.

From the moment we contacted ExpertAfrica we felt we were in good hands. They guided us through all the various alternatives for the "Safari of a Lifetime" and got it 100% right. We could not be more impressed by the knowledge of their advisors and the care they took to make the experience memorable. Nothing was too much trouble for them and all arrangements worked out to perfection. We would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Expert Africa review

I have used this tour operator before - and I keep going back. Their research is really good, so the information they have given me is always accurate. They can get me to remote sites, and they understand the operational difficulties, and how to work around them, of some of these distant places. This all lends itself to a unique travel experience, such a pleasure....

Expert Africa review

The team members at Expert Africa were highly knowledgeable and happy to spend a long time discussing our trip and advising on options to suit our requirements and budgets. Without Expert Africa, our trip would not have been the success it was. Accommodation was described accurately and all travel transfers went smoothly.

Incredible personalize safari

Our safari in southern tanzania and we saw so many animals and had such incredibly knowledgeable guides. Everyone was so warm and helpful. Before we left we learned a few words of Swahili and that made such a difference in our interactions.

Liz at expert africa was so helpful and worked very hard to identify what would fit us best and the results exceeded our expectations. The trip all flowed so smoothly and we had so much control over what we wanted to see and for how long.

Our green(ish) safari in Zambia Apr/May 2016

We went on a 10 night safari in Zambia - 3 nights each at Nkwali and Kapamba in South Luangwa NP, then 4 nights at Old Mondoro in Lower Zambezi NP. Fabulous service, accommodation and guiding at all the camps. Another unforgettable experience.

A Thirteenth Spectacular African Holiday with Expert Africa

Our routine was overnight to Johannesburg, one day and a night in a hotel then travelling on to Botswana on day 3. We then had 9 nights in safari camps in the Okavango Delta followed by a mirror image return routine via Johannesburg. This is a busy 14 nights with numerous transfers by car, safari vehicle, boat, scheduled airline and light aircraft. There are many areas where plans can come unstuck but the aim is to enjoy 9 days of top class ...

Our routine was overnight to Johannesburg, one day and a night in a hotel then travelling on to Botswana on day 3. We then had 9 nights in safari camps in the Okavango Delta followed by a mirror image return routine via Johannesburg. This is a busy 14 nights with numerous transfers by car, safari vehicle, boat, scheduled airline and light aircraft. There are many areas where plans can come unstuck but the aim is to enjoy 9 days of top class safari in arguably the best safari destination in Southern Africa. We had the most wonderful tenth trip to the Okavango. It ticked all the boxes and we returned home happy and content that we had received great value for money.

Rating for tour operator:

This was our thirteenth holiday with Expert Africa and tenth to the Okavango Delta in Botswana. We clearly love the Okavango but for such a demanding itinerary it is essential to have an agent one can trust to make watertight plans. At no time in the last 15 years have Expert Africa made a poor plan or made arrangements for us that went wrong. This is a spectacular record and wholly the result of careful planning, listening to the customer, expert up to date local knowledge and attention to detail. The clue is in the name and we would never dream of approaching a different agent for an African holiday.
