Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by Mary Jo, 26 May 2016
Holiday Rating:

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.

A bucket list road trip fro Cape Town to Windhoek

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.

2 Week Adventure in Namibia

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.

Trip of a life-time to Rwanda & Zanzibar

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.

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.
