Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

5 days beach and 3 days in Zanzibar town, as a couple. About the best holiday we have ever had.

James Denny at Expert Africa: spot on! I would highly recommend this company. They really know the places to advise.

We visited 4 camps in Zambia and had some excellent game drives and walks, staying in beautiful camps with friendly and knowledgable staff

They organised our trip at fairly short notice and helped us sort out some changes to our flights to minimise waiting between flights. Good knowledge of Zambia and have visited the camps themselves

Mine was a solo, 11 night safari spent at 4 camps, all within South Luangwa National Park. It was an excellent experience from start to finish with not a single problem.

Expert Africa did an outstanding job providing me with my best overall safari to date. I will be contacting them again for a quote when planning my next trip to Africa.

We had a wonderful trip to three different camps in Kenya in the Ol Pejeta, Mara North and Olare Motorogi Conservancies. We stayed at very comfortable, small, traditional bush camps where the host were very friendly and welcoming. The food and drink was excellent throughout. The diversity and density of the wildlife on the Masai Mara was amazing and was the best wildlife experience we have ever had. All of our guides were friendly and very knowledgable. We are already planning our return visit there for next year.

I have booked a number of holidays through Expert Africa and they truly live up to their name. Their 'specialists' for each country really are expert and a specialist as they know the countries very well and have travelled extensively within them. For Instance, our trip to Kenya was booked through the author of the Rough Guide to Kenya. He even sent us a signed copy! We have never been disappointed with any of our trips booked through Expert Africa. We recommend them to our friends and we will certainly continue to use them in the future.

Superb trip to Namibia, mainly Etosha National Park

Expert Africa, is an excellent tour operator this was our fourth trip with them

We spent about 3 weeks doing a self-drive tour of Namibia, going from lodge to lodge and focussing on wild-life viewing. We then spent 9 nights in Botswana (5 of those on an independent kayak trip) and 3 nights in Victoria Falls. The self-drive in Namibia was the highlight. We stayed in fabulous places with outstanding accommodation. They guides provided by the lodges were all excellent and we appreciated their local knowledge. Having one guide stay with us wouldn't have provided the same level of knowledge about the specific environments. Expert Africa did a tremendous job of putting together an itinerary that suited us and our interests. We appreciated their recommendations. Some of our favourite places were ones that they recommended that we would not have gone to without their advice.

Tracy from Expert Africa guided us through the planning process. I was impressed that she was willing to spend a lot of time up front learning about our priorities and preferences. Their web-site was very useful, providing information about the various lodges from both the lodge perspective and from an outsider's view. Tracy had clearly been to a lot of the places she recommended and was very knowledgeable about the various options.

Our trip was absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Every transfer, flight and pick-up went absolutely seamlessly and the staff at Expert Africa were extremely helpful and knowledgeable throughout our booking experience. We received all of the information we needed before the trip and felt comfortable and informed throughout our trip. Some of the places we stayed were among the best we've ever experienced - we felt truly privileged to have the opportunity to visit them.

The entire trip ran so smoothly that we didn't have to worry about a thing. The itinerary was perfect and the camps,settings,activities,food and staff were spectacular!It was also so relaxing to fly from camp to camp rather than travel on bumpy roads. I will definitely be back to beautiful Botswana!!!!

Expert Africa specializes in Botswana safaris and was recommended to me by an acquaintance who used them. I also got the book by Chris McIntire and after researching the book knew this was the company I wanted to go with. Am so thrilled that I did. The itinerary was perfect and there was not one problem during the entire 13 days. My tour operator Chloe Henderson was very knowledgeable and accommodating and also listened to our needs and priorities. The most smoothly run and efficient trip I have experienced. Thank you Chloe and thank you Expert Africa!

Traveled extensively around Malawi. The main purpose of the trip was to visit Missionary stations in the Northern area. A journey covering areas where my great grandfather had worked at during the late eighteen hundreds. He had ventured out to Nyasaland in 1888 from the Highlands of Scotland to pursue a vocation with the Missionary Society. So my aim was to try & understand the locations & find any further information . We also had some holiday time at Danforth, Cape Maclear and time at Tongole Widerness Lodge which was all absolutely amazing.

Helpful from first point of contact. Took on board my reason for travel & the locations I wished to travel to in the time I had allocated. Within a couple of days a schedule was put together. Supplying flight details, accomodation & transportation that could suit. Helpful friendly staff, vey understanding and I felt went beyond the call of duty to put me in touch with relevant people once I arrived in Malawi. Provided good additional travel information and updates prior to departure date.

It was wonderful. The lodges Expert Africa selected were very good.

Expert Africa booked us into lodges in Botswana. All of the local staff were excellent.
