Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

We chose to visit Tanzania in the wet season which due to greater rains than usual created unexpected challenges which Expert Africa dealt with in their usual efficient manner. We visited 2 safari camps and 1 'R&R' camp and had an overnight stop over in Dar on the outward journey and a short break in Dubai on the homeward journey. We had a fantastic trip - all the camps we visited were of a very high standard of accommodation and service. The guiding and driving at the safari camps was very good especially considering the terrain had been devasted by the unusually heavy and prolonged rains and game viewing was made harder by the long grasses and dense foliage. We had a fantastic holiday and cannot wait to repeat the experience.

We have used the Expert Africa on many occasions and have never found another specialist Africa company that can match their in depth knowledge of the Continent. There is always someone at Expert Africa who has visited the destinations that we wish it visit ( and we do choose some very off beat places). They have such experience and knowledge and like to get to know their clients so that are able to give suggestions and advice which is very personal . We cannot praise Chris Mc Intyre and his team enough. We have and will continue to recommend Expert Africa to anyone who wants to see the real Africa.

We had done some research before contacting Expert Africa.They were very helpful in giving advice to help improve our initial planning. We had wanted a fairly leisurely trip while at the same time seeing much of the country. Expert Africa understood what we wanted and the advice they gave allowed us to have a fantastic trip.

Drove several thousand kilometres on mainly excellent dirt roads. Experienced a huge range of magnificent desert scenery, the highlight being the dunes at Souussvelei. Stayed in middle-range (occasionally high end ) lodges which were very comfortable, with good food and charming and helpful staff.Thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of the roads ( one other car per hour, virtually no settlements) which we shared with the occasional springbok and oryx and the very occasional bird of prey.And the sun! A relaxing, energy-giving and inspirational holiday.

Very approachable, knowledgeable people in London who were painstaking in their preparation of our route , car hire and accommodation arrangem,ents. They had a charming and very effecient agent in Windhoek.

Our second trip with Expert Africa. The efforts and help from the team at Expert Africa were outstanding and , without reservation, I would recommend the organisation to anybody wishin to have a trouble free holiday in Africa. We cannot praise them too highly.

Superb. Organisation with excellent staff who have all had experience in South Africa and applied that knowledge to making the holiday a memorable experience.

A three week self drive holiday expertly organised by Expert Africa, seeing virtually all the animals we hoped to see and more. As a keen photographer it surpassed all my expectations. Charming and happy people. Easy stress free driving on empty roads. Comfortable Lodges with helpful staff.

Excellent in every way.

All the arrangements made by Expert Africa worked well, our accommodation was first class, food excellent and the guides for our wildlife experience were outstanding.

Expert Africa staff are just that - experts! The Rough Guide to Kenya was written by our expert, Richard Trillo. We have travelled with this company twice before and would not hesitate to return.

We had a long and complicated itinerary to see Rwanda (which is new to us) and then to Namibia which we have previously visited many times. Expert Africa were very good in helping us plan the itinerary to see as much as possible in a short time. We had a guided tour in Rwanda (with driver/guide) and a self-drive 4x4 in Namibia with numerous pre-booked special treks and visits recommended and arranged by Expert Africa (eg. mountain gorillas and chimpanzees in Rwanda, Desert Rhinos and Epupa Falls in Namibia). With so many reservations there was a lot of scope for something to go wrong but absolutely everything booked for us worked and we felt the standard of places we were booked into was generally excellent. Expert Africa guided us well by creating an itinerary where we could keep to schedule but without it being too hectic. In short we feel Expert Africa did a better than excellent job, pretty well as perfect as it could be.

There were numerous organisations sub-contracted by Expert Africa all of which delivered what was expected

We had 9 days self driving in Namibia, visiting old colonial towns, ghost diamond rush towns, magnificent dunes and Africa's biggest canyon. All places where we stayed we well appointed with good and varied food.

Helpful, responsive and put together at short notice and for an unusually short duration a tour encompassing so many aspects of Namibia.

The holiday was an amazing experience and ticked all of the boxes I had specifically asked for. The accommodation, location, service, people , food, activities and child friendliness were all exemplary and faultless. From the time we landed to the time we left everything was just wonderful.

Eleanor Dunkels from Expert Africa was superb. She listened to my request and she surpassed my expectations in understanding my requirements for a family safari experience. She clearly explained why some places I had considered might not be the best for our son and gave me options she considered to be the best for the time we had available and for the specific request i had made.. Eleanor was spot on! I would recommend her and Expert Africa to anyone and my next African experience will certainly be with them.

A lovely country to visit with an incredible contrast of experiences.

We have used them before and returned to use them again as we knew they would give good advice and organise our trip impeccably
