Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

We booked a two week self drive holiday to Namibia together with a further two weeks in South Africa for a family wedding. The holiday in Namibia was a joy with marvellous scenery,fantastic wildlife, wonderful people and superb places to stay.

Expert Africa provided a wonderful personalised service and left no stone unturned. I would highly recommend them as a tour operator to Africa.

A 19 night break with a short detour for 3 days for a wedding, we enjoyed the ever changing scenery as we drove north and remote become a common word. We have visited Namibia before and wondered whether we would love it so much - we needn't have worried, it didn't disappoint. Its a trip we would do again, perhaps in spring when the flower season is in full swing in the Western and Northern Cape.

We have travelled with Expert Africa before and didn't hesitate to go back to them for this trip. Their service was impeccable as before. Their small team know their business and their market and look after them both very well. A true specialist tour operator.

We did a self drive trip and visited the desert, coast and northern safari lodges. It was an incredible diversity of wildlife and scenery with excellent activity options.

This was the second trip we've taken through Expert Africa. I think they put a lot of thought into tailoring their trips to individual tastes. I would certainly recommend them.

This was honeymoon standard luxury in the best country in Africa. Hard to improve on perfection.

Helpful and efficient

We spent two weeks in Rwanda with a driver/guide - visiting the Volcano National Park to trek to see the gorillas - an amazing experience, and then driving to Lake Kivu and Nyungwe National Park for more wildlife viewing. Rwanda is an amazing country - so vibrant and so clean and friendly. It has made remarkable progress since the Genocide in 1994 - I would consider it a role model for many countries in Africa. Zanzibar was an interesting place to visit with its Arab influences, spice farms and beautiful white sand beaches.

Knowledgeable, friendly, well-organized.

We travelled from Windhoek to Sossusvlei, then Walvis Bay, Damaraland, Grootberg, Etosha then back to Windhoek. We had a great time at Kulala Desert Lodge, including a wonderful day in the dunes, including dead Vlei. Staff at Kulala were extremely helpful. We saw wonderful flamingoes at Walvis Bay and made the most of the fresh seafood. Doro Nawas and Grootberg Lodge were both above our expectations with amazing sightings of large numbers of desert elephants and black rhino (tracked on foot). In Etosha, we stayed mainly in the rest camps with the bush chalets being of good quality, clean and comfortable and the food at dinners and breakfasts also of high quality. We were lucky to find leopard by one of the waterholes and spent quite a long time following lions that we initially found drinking early in the morning, then again in the late afternoon. Having returned to Windhoek, our last night was spent at Olive Exclusive - amazing for a city centre property with wonderfully equipped suites and, again, excellent food. Everything was really well organised and very good value for money. We would certainly return.

Expert Africa were great from giving advice on our route and possible places to stay, through to their follow up on our return. Following a minor accident, we had some issues with our hire car and Sabina Hekandjo willingly stepped in from the UK and liaised with the hire car company to ensure our holiday was not disrupted. This was our second trip to Namibia with them, Sabina has been very helpful and knowledgable on both occasions. We are very impressed and will certainly use Expert Africa again. We have total confidence in them.

We had a great holiday! We stayed 3 days at Machaba Camp, "glamping" in the Delta. We then spent a couple nights in Chobe NP at Chobe Game Lodge, and then traveling on to the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls. We also had a couple nights on our own in Botswana, where we had other arrangements. The lodges were excellent, and the safaris did not disappoint! Our family (including a 3 year old), all vegetarians, felt very taken care of on all parts of our trip.

Given that we were traveling as a family with a small child, I found it very hard to find the best arrangements, but our operator helped us tremendously. She recommended specific lodges that would accommodate children, as well as a desired itinerary that would work for us. She understood our needs/wants, and helped book all the logistics. Given that i was already doing logistics on travel to/from, I was very relieved to not do it all myself, and I was VERY impressed that every single arrangement went off without a hitch.

10 days. 4 locations. Remit: flora and landscape. Delivered in luxury and comfort and grossly exceeded our expectations

Expert Africa. This was the 4th time we have used them and once more they have exceeded our expectations in what they have delivered to us. I am sure we will be using them again, hopefully soon!!

We had an excellent safari id two bush camps with good game viewing given the amount od grass and foliage making locating game difficult. A few days R & R at the end was good following the full on activities in the bush leaving little 'down time' Very enjoyable overall and well organised by Expert Africa.

Expert Africa went out of their way in organising the trip especially as one camp had to be changed at last minute due to flooding.

A weeks safari to Kenya, very well organised, very good choice of camps

Expert Africa listened to what type of safari I wanted, and came up with an excellent choice of camps. Would use them again
