Expert Africa did a wonderful job on our safari in Africa

We went to Rwanda, Tanzania and Kenya. It was the favorite trip we have ever taken.

We are so pleased to hear that these travellers had such a wonderful time in East Africa and that they were able to see multiple wildebeest river crossings in addition to trekking the mountain gorillas.

It was a pleasure creating this unique safari for you, and we are thrilled that you enjoyed each of the camps and locations, especially Olakira Safari Camp in the northern Serengeti.

The perfect Safari

We could not have had a better trip thanks to the efforts of Expert Africa, Little Governors Camp Kenya, and our fantastic guide Tom. We saw every animal we could have wished to see and the six days and nights at Little Governors was simply superb in every way

Wow what an amazing, unforgettable experience! We have never been anywhere in Africa before so it was very reassuring to have the expertise of Richard ensuring that everything was so organised as well as offering us great advice and answering all our questions. Everything about this holiday was perfect and Expert Africa deserve a lot of credit for that, selecting and recommending amazing accommodation. The website is also one of the best I have ever used- clean and clear layout, easy to navigate, whilst still being very informative with detailed reviews and information. I would without a doubt recommend Expert Africa to anyone thinking about booking a holiday to Africa.

Tailor-made Namibia Safari by Alex from the Algarve, 17 Jun 2023

A 70th to remember!

A life long dream to drive around Namibia came true for my husband to celebrate his 70th. We've long loved Africa and always love a road trip - what a great partnership this was. We drove 3,000 km in three weeks - cruised down the Chobe, flew over the Okovanga and Victoria Falls. It was a real cornucopia of everything that is great about Africa - wonderful people - stunning locations and wildlife.

We normally travel independantly but opted this time to share the load with Expert Africa and boy am I glad we did! Namibia is a huge country with such a diversity of options - using Expert Africa helped me refine the trip to meet all our criteria. Its a real skill to sit in New Zealand (as the agent) talking to a client in Algarve and really get to understand what the client requires - well done Maruka!!

Expert Africa responded to this review on 19 Jun 2023:

A road trip through Namibia should be on everyone's to do list and we are delighted you enjoyed yours so much. It was especially wonderful to hear about how many of the lodges offered you a special treat during your stay in celebration of your husbands birthday!

Expert Africa responded to this review on 19 Jun 2023:

It was a pleasure to discuss your travel ideas and the experiences you wanted for the both of you as you were planning this trip to surprise your husband with. Thank you for putting your trust in us. Most importantly, we loved hearing all about how the trip went and what the highlights were for you.

Once in a lifetime experience

A first time trip to Namibia, where we drove ourselves for over 2500km, and every stop felt like a different adventure.

Rating for tour operator:

From start to finish this holiday, organised completely by Expert Africa, was superb. Everything was just as we wanted it, if not better. They really are best in class for their in depth knowledge and personal insight, the quality of the supporting documents they provide and the detail of their website to help you plan in advance.

Our Trip to Botswana

We had two different kind of safari experiences: a tented camp for 4 nights and a game lodge for 3. The quality of service, food and accommodation at both was high, and the game-viewing experiences we had were varied and so interesting. All of our party enjoyed the trip immensely.

Fantastic safari holiday in Kenya

We stayed for three nights each at two Kicheche tented camps - in Laikipia (Ole Pejeta Conservancy) and the Valley Camp (Naboisa Conservancy) in that Masai Mara. We had sightings of the big 5 and many more fantastic animals and birds, with our expert guides Peter and Bernard, respectively. Both camps were well-appointed, the accommodation was very comfortable and the food was excellent. Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi ...

Prior to the safaris, we stayed at Hemmingways, Nairobi - a first class hotel - and afterwards at Sands at Charle Island on the Indian Ocean which was a good place to unwind.
