Fantastic Honeymoon Safari

Our honeymoon safari was our first ever trip to Africa and we cannot wait to return! The team at Expert Africa did a terrific job helping us plan. Our experience at every lodge and camp we visited was excellent. We look forward to future trips.

Richard Trillo and the rest of the Expert Africa team was immensely helpful in helping us plan our first trip to Africa. Each question we posed was answered thoroughly and promptly and the recommendations provided were excellent. We look forward to working with Expert Africa on our next trip.

Probably our best ever holiday

14 nights safari in 6 different camps. Everything was organised efficiently so there was no wasted time. The level of service we received was exceptional The game viewing was memorable with knowledgeable guides who accommodated the different priorities of guests as far as possible. The food was always good, at times exceptional. The rooms were usually spacious and the beds really comfortable.

I had an injury at the first camp and because there was no phone signal we emailed ExpertAfrica who then took charge of arrangements to fly out a trauma nurse to check that I could carry on with the holiday. Their immediate response greatly exceeded my expectations. Not many companies are available at such short notice and take responsibility for dealing with problems. Their prompt and effective action meant that I could continue to enjoy this wonderful holiday with minimal interruption.

Expert Africa review

Expert Africa was professional and efficient in planning our itinerary. Our itinerary was probably not common for first-time visitors as we wanted to skip some of the most visited destinations. Expert Africa took our specific needs into account and managed to book the trip, despite that we only got in touch with them just 3-4 weeks before travel dates.

Expert Africa were superb. Starting from an exceptionally informative website Expert Africa clearly know their stuff. They provided us with high quality personalised advice, which resulted in an amazing trip full of memorable experiences. Their knowledge of Africa and their attention to detail is second to none. Any issues were dealt with efficiently and quickly and their customer service is outstanding. If you are planning a trip to Africa don't bother to look elsewhere.

Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by Mrs L from Winchester, 31 Aug 2015

Tanzania & Zanzibar

We spent 3 nights in Tanzania at Selous Impala Camp. It was like being on another planet. It was so peaceful and tranquil. The staff were overwhelmingly kind and showed great passion for their work. We managed to see a range of animals in the bush, the highlights being lions, leopards and elephants. We then spent a week on the island of Zanzibar, which with it's white sand and clear blue water, feels like being in paradise.

Expert Africa were our tour operator and they definitely lived up to their name. Speaking to them on the phone, you could tell they really know what they're talking about and you feel in safe hands. Their knowledge of the places is excellent and they are also extremely efficient.

Beyond expectations

We stayed at three separate camps in Zambia, selected in conjunction with Expert Africa. They were all excellent, but different in their own way, and we had an outstanding holiday. All our transfers worked seamlessly. Expert Africa provided a first class service.

Another great trip to an amazing country

A 12 night self-drive safari to introduce our daughter and son-in-law to the amazing landscapes and wildlife of Namibia. We stayed in a variety of good quality lodges where we were treated extremely well by helpful and friendly staff.

We have travelled with Expert Africa on a number of occasions and have always found them to the extremely friendly and helpful when developing an itinerary that suits our needs. The booking process is very straightforward. On this occasion there was an issue over one of the bookings which came to light during our trip. It was not the fault of Expert Africa however they dealt with it promptly and efficiently.

Beautiful Namibia

We took a Namibia road trip exploring the Naukluft Mountains, the Namib Desert dunes and then onto Etosha National Park for some game viewing. It was magical and whether watching the sunset across a sand sea, the Atlantic breakers hitting the wrecks of the skeleton coast or Black Rhino at a waterhole our memories will last us a lifetime.

Expert Africa helped us plan and organise a superb holiday and given that we needed four flights, a hot air balloon, kayaks, a four wheel drive hire car as well as numerous hotel bookings to complete they did a great job.
