Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

The absolute best thing I will probably do (unless I do this again!). Brilliant, unique experience from start to finish. Jason, the guide was excellent and really shared his knowledge and entertained the group. The more junior guide, Kamisa was excellent at spotting wildlife, answering questions and was supportive. Max and the guys at the camp couldn't have done better, I feel very humbled to have been on this trip. Excellent food, excellent waiting staff, the chef and baker were faultless - quite how the chef and the baker produce the food they do is puzzling. Hand baked treats at tea time in the morning & afternoon cakes and canapes in the evening, - I have never been so impressed. The attention to detail, such as warm water to wash your face in the morning and the way the tents were pulled down and put back up was a very smooth operation. Tables in the tents were rearranged at the next camp as they were left at the previous camp. We saw lots of animals and received in depth information from the guides on the workings of the eco system. I have never felt so connected to the earth, or touched by just how hard all involved worked to make this happen.

Listened to what I wanted, came up with a plan that demonstrated that they had listened and then Amanda walked me through every last detail, was available and really understood and had made multiple visits to the camps. I used the out of hours service for a question and was answered immediately. True experts in their product, which became clearer and clearer when I was there and heard experiences of other agents.

Arrived in Nairobi. Greeted and guided every step of the way on arrival at the airport to the camps to our eventual departure at the end. Two nights at Tamarind Tree Hotel. Very comfortable, nice pool and well equipped gym. Private tour at Sheldricks well worth seeing baby orphan elephants being fed and bathed. Top notch stays at luxury camps. Especially liked Kicheche Bush Camp. Excellent guides. Lots of opportunities to see all kinds of wildlife including birds. Trip of a lifetime.

Expert Africa was excellent to deal with. Responsive. Very clear communication. Great information on preparing and getting ready for the trip including making sure we considered vaccinations and medications that might be needed. Attentive during the trip when some of our group had medical issues. Very responsive and caring.

We realised a few years ago that we had been to a country beginning with every letter of alphabet except X (not possible) and Z so we decided this year to tackle Z. Expert Africa was recommended and their agent was very accommodating in making our holiday very special. She created 3 detailed itineraries for us and our selected itinerary covered a safari trip in Zambia and Victoria falls in Zimbabwe. Both experiences had a sort of a WOW factor and we couldn't have asked for more. We particularly liked Nkwali camp overlooking Luangwa river.

As mentioned above Expert Africa had little info from us in terms of requirements but we had a few telephone conversations with Amanda Bond who is obviously very experienced in terms of Zambian and Zimbabwean camps and managed to set us up an itinerary which covered the safari lodge and a bit of luxury afterwards to relax.

We spent two weeks in Tanzania. Some of the time we spent with relatives and some of it we spent with our own trips. These trips went to Nyerere National Park and Zanzibar and Expert Africa helped us organize them. It turned out absoutely great.

Expert Africa are great. They're skilled, friendly and efficient.

A wonderful fortnight on safari in Zambia, combining traditional safari game drives and walking safaris and staying at a variety of fantastic camps.

Expert Africa provided a truly bespoke service, talking with me about my priorities and helping narrow down the myriad of options for safari locations. The final itinerary proved to be exactly what I'd hoped, thanks mainly to the first-hand knowledge of the Expert Africa team.

Starting in Kasane in Botswana we travelled along the Caprivi strip, through Etosha and ending up in the Namib desert, staying in a series of small boutique lodges across the country

We've used Expert Africa previously to organise a trip in Southern Namibia and were very impressed with the service they offerred, both from an organisation, cost and knowledge perspective. This trip didn't dissapoint and we stayed at some incredible places which we'd never hav found without them. The trip ran flawlesly which isn't something you often say about an African adventure

Spent two glorious weeks in Namibia! Stayed in Windhoek, Sossusvlei, Damaraland, and Ongava. Went ballooning, visited ancient petroglyphs and saw amazing wildlife. All of the accommodations were lovely as were the food and staff!

Sabena at Expert Africa spent a lot of time customizing this trip from me. Extremely knowledgeable and organized. My flight from Germany was delayed a day and instead of arriving at 8:30 in the morning I arrived the following day very late at night but Sabena & the rest of the Expert Africa staff stayed late and made sure we arrived at our destination & even had my hotel open the kitchen to make me something to eat! Great customer service!

our first trip to Tanzania, wonderfully organised by Expert Africa, trip was very hihly planned for us, loved the peope in Tanzania and wow such beautiful country and animals, we couldnt get enough of this and hoping to go back.

Expert Africa, from start to finish our trip was well organised and highly planned withgnnothing left to chance, our flights, changing airports met by meet and greet personal at ech point made transition so easy.. Lyndsey made our tip "Perfect"

Travelling as a family group of 3 - my parents and I, we spent 10 days in Botswana, combining stays in Kwara, Lagoon, Lebala and Camp Kalahari. We managed to see all the predators at least once in addition to herds of game, elephants and buffalos. During our stay at Camp Kalahari, we enjoyed their unique Meerkat, Bushmen and Night on the Pan experiences and were extremely fortunate to spot a Black-Footed Cat on one of our night drives. A holiday we won't ever forget!

Expert Africa and especially Lucy were an absolute joy to work with. Knowledgeable, friendly and incredibly helpful. From the first contact to the follow-up after our return, we felt comfortable.

A trip to South Luangwa in Zambia staying at Lion Camp.

Expert Africa were fantastic - great knowledge, very helpful and heaps of useful information.
