Trip of a lifetime to Botswana
We spent 2 weeks on safari in Botswana after a short stay at the Victoria Falls. Our first destination was the Chobe riverfront which was teeming with game. We then had 6 wonderful nights on a mobile safari, brilliantly run by Andrew Harkness, and then ended our stay in the Okavango Delta

Expert Africa were brilliant. Highly knowledgable, professional and efficient. We would highly recommend them to anyone wishing to travel to Southern Africa.





Brilliant safari in Botswana
Great safari trip - 3 superb camps, great hotel when in transit. Logistics worked like clockwork.

Expert Africa must be the Experts on Zambia - they wrote the book! Great service, super itinerary, logistics worked like clockwork. Excellent choices and mix of camps selected. Great patience with all the rework during the Covid period, but we got there in the end and we are very appreciative.
It was lovely to hear that these travellers enjoyed each individual camp, the warm welcome and the guiding. They also had some memorable wildlife sightings throughout.
After two years of postponements, we were delighted to see these travellers reach Zambia on safari and that their trip was such a success. Thanks for sticking with us through the down times!





Breathtaking Trip to Kenya in July 2022
My trip was absolutely incredible - more wildlife than I could've imagined, and we caught some fabulous moments like a river crossing and a hunt. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday, and already thinking about when I can go back.

Expert Africa was fabulous - Lyndsey was incredibly knowledgeable and planned the perfect trip which let me see everything I wanted to. They were communicative and flexible, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.





Enjoyable second time in Namibia
After more than a decade we took our second trip to Namibia booked through Expert Africa. For all other destinations we book everything independently but particularly during Covid a tour operator has been invaluable. We stayed in 8 different lodges, over a 2 week period, between Windhoek and the Angolan border.

Good personal approach. Careful advice given. Particularly useful when we had a problem with our hire vehicle.





Zambia safari 2022
10 nights safari in Zambia - seven nights in South Luangwa National Park and three in Lower Zambezi National Park. Fantastic game viewing (with expert, skilled and passionate guides). Wonderful food and beds in the bushcamps, really well looked after by the staff.

My second trip with them. Easy to contact and to deal with. Take time to understand what your tastes and aspirations are for your trip. Flexible in putting a package together that meets those tastes and aspirations.

Expert Africa lives up to its name - everything was perfect





Wonderful Self drive from Windhoek to Etosha and along The Caprivi strip.
We flew in to Windhoek, collected a 4 wheel drive car and took two weeks to get to Katima Mulilo. Stopping at Mundulea Reserve, Onguma Camp ( Etosha ), Hakusembe Lodge, River Dance Lodge, Namibia Tented Camp, Nkasa Lapala Lodge . Dropped off car in Katima Mulilo, driven across border to Kasane. Then flew into delta - Selinda Explorer Camp which is fabulous. Day trip to see the magnificent Victoria Falls

Expert Africa have organised many trips to Southern Africa for us over the years. We wouldn't go with anyone else. Professional, knowledgable and reliable.





Amazing Botswana trip including remote Kalahari mobile safari.
Our third time travelling to Botswana with Expert Africa and we loved it. Tracy Lederer gave us huge insight and wisdom when she helped us plan our trip and was friendly, patient, gently encouraging and inspirational as she helped us decide to go ahead, with it being the first trip after lockdown for most of us. The camps were awesome, the mobile safari in the Kalahari with Andrew Harkness was life changing. Expert Africa is a great company ...

Tracy Lederer is fabulous! Her knowledge is personal and extensive; her reliability, friendliness and expertise are outstanding. This company, Expert Africa, excels with its personal approach and insider knowledge and we can't wait to start planning our next trip with them.





A long awaited holiday, to Namibia finally possible because of our tour operator
We travelled to Namibia in March 2022….. having originally booked this for April 2020, and then rearranged for March 2021 with lockdown making both of these dates impossible. We had an amazing itinerary covering a lot of what Namibia has to offer but at a relaxing pace that ensured we had time to enjoy and take in each location. We stayed at some amazing lodges, with friendly, helpful and welcoming people, fantastic food, beautiful scenery and ...

We had an amazing itinerary covering a lot of what Namibia has to offer but at a relaxing pace that ensured we had time to enjoy and take in each location. We stayed at some amazing lodges, with friendly, helpful and welcoming people, fantastic food, beautiful scenery and some great wildlife viewing in spite of our visit taking place during a ‘greener than normal’ green season.
Rating for tour operator:




Expert Africa worked hard to rearrange our itinerary not just once, but twice and facilitated the need for changes as things changed with flights and travel restrictions. They went above and beyond to ensure that we, as customers, were not disadvantaged by the whole Covid situation and also to ensure their African partners and providers were supported during such a difficult two years. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone travelling to any area they cover as they can be trusted to support you, as a traveller, no matter the situation.





Excellent trip to the Massai Mara
We had another excellent 10 night trip to a number of camps in the Maasai Mara organized as always by Expert Africa. Despite the weather being somewhat unseasonable for the time of year we thoroughly enjoyed the sightings and experience of visiting such a beautiful part of the world
