Namibia adventure

We had a real adventure and really enjoyed our trip to Namibia . It was full of surprises and we felt safe and looked after throughout the trip despite travelling on our own. We stayed in some wonderful lodges had some great food and wines . The wildlife was amazing we had not imagined what we would see. Amazingly!

Amazing Africa

We recently took a safari through Zambia (Luangwa National Park & Lower Zambezi National Park) staying at 2 amazing houses which provide the prefect venues for your safari's (Luangwa House & Chongwe House).

The animals, facilities, staff, food, locations and immensely knowledgeable guides made the stays outstanding and as there were a couple of very special Birthdays in our group, expectations were high but were totally exceeded. We rounded the trip off with a very relaxing weekend at The Victoria Falls Hotel which is THE perfect way to end a safari and should be experienced by everyone at least once in their lives.

Rating for tour operator:

Our trip was organised through Expert Africa who were outstanding in the planning and delivery of the trip and should be the first choice for all when booking. Every detail and all of our wishes were taken care of and as a result everything went smoothly and provided a very relaxing and memorable holiday. You can certainly tell they have the depth of knowledge and experience in Africa that is required to make this happen.

Tailor-made Seychelles Holiday by Stuart , 23 Sep 2015

Perfect mix of nature and beach holiday in the Seychelles

We went to the Seychelles with Expert Africa. We stayed at Constance Ephelia on Mahe and at Paradise Sun on Praslin. This was a perfect holiday with much hiking, nature and wildlife (especially birds) to spot. The destination offers considerably more than just beach holidays. Expert Africa helped us select the accommodation and organised our itinerary. All worked extremely well.

Zambia with the Experts

We thought we would like one more trip to Africa before we got too old- crossing destinations off "the bucket list" We were particularly keen to find resorts who were helping the local communities and setting examples of responsible tourism Expert Africa gently guided us from out initial rather unrealistic ideas towards a combination of 2 camps in Zambia and a third , more relaxing lodge on the shore of Lake Malawi the trip exceeded expectations, ...

A Zambia Safari - One of our Best Holidays Ever

We spent two weeks in Zambia, in South Luanga and Lower Zambezi National Park, staying in 5 different safari camps. It was a trip we will never forget - the wildlife, the landscape, the people, the safari camps, the sounds and smells of Africa - all were enchanting. We went on game drives (day and night), traveled by boat, canoe, mountain bike and foot and felt secure doing everything because of the quality of the guides and scouts we were with...

We went on game drives (day and night), traveled by boat, canoe, mountain bike and foot and felt secure doing everything because of the quality of the guides and scouts we were with. All in all, a life-changing experience and we can't wait to return to explore still more of Africa.

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa advised us extraordinarily well. They helped us narrow down the country that suited us perfectly, then advised us on the type and number of camps to visit. Each camp was distinctive and none repetitive. They helped us get just the right balance of walking versus driving safaris. Travel logistics were perfectly worked out - all we had to do was show up! The trip was a birthday present for my husband, and they helped organized an unforgettable celebration, including a surprise romantic dinner atop an ant hill and a gorgeous birthday cake in front of a campfire. We can't imagine traveling to Africa without Expert Africa!

Expert Africa was very pleased to know that these travellers enjoyed their holiday to Zambia so much, and thanked them for their feedback. We look forward to helping them plan their next Africa safari!

Expert Africa responded to this review on 12 Oct 2017:

It was our pleasure to help these travellers plan their holiday, and birthday present. Our excellent relationship with the safari camps we feature allow us to request extra special experiences for our guests, and those help make a great safari even more memorable.

Tailor-made Rwanda Safari by Global normad, 17 Sep 2015
Holiday Rating:

A well planed trip by expert and executed by experts !

We went to Rwanda for Gorilla treking for 2 days. Seeing these precious animals was a real life experience. They are so gentle and kind. It really give us more insight and feeling about the need to protect wild life. Then we flew to northern serengeti, a well know place, see thousands times on different media. But to live the experience is a dream.

The company brochure gives a good presentation of different countries plus places for accomodation. The tailor made service with a trip consultant to work out a trip plan is great. All local operators used by Expert Africa was well chosen. We are very satisfied with the trip and thanks Expert Africa to help to realize it.

Tailor-made Zimbabwe Safari by Mr G from Reading, 9 Sep 2015
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful fist safari experience

We spent 7 nights at the Elephant Camp, Somalisa Camp and Camp Hwange in Zimbabwe and had a wonderful first safari experience. Hwange national park offers an excellent range of wildlife and, unlike other popular parks in Southern Afirca is not too crowded with 4x4s. The guides are of a very high standard and the camps were very comfortable.

Rating for tour operator:

Very responsive, friendly and accommodating. Expert Africa team are very efficient at responding to requests and questions, our only suggestion was that, as first time safari travellers we realised that we would have benefited from a little more 'hand holding' before travelling as we would have tweaked our itinerary and packing had we had a little more information on points we didn't think to ask before travelling.
