A superb trip
My daughter and I went on a fantastic safari in Zambia. It was an opportunity to observe some amazing wildlife. The accommodation, service, meals and organisation was excellent.

A fantastic trip in Kenya, organized by Expert Africa
Our family took a 9-night safari trip to Kenya in July 2015. We started planning LONG in advance, and I worked over email with Richard Trillo of Expert Africa. He did an outstanding job of not only listening to our interests, but providing feedback that allowed us to adjust our plans - he worked with us very well. The trip itself was excellent, and the different parts (airport pickup, 1st night in Nairobi, transfers, safari camps) were stitched ...

He did an outstanding job of not only listening to our interests, but providing feedback that allowed us to adjust our plans - he worked with us very well. The trip itself was excellent, and the different parts (airport pickup, 1st night in Nairobi, transfers, safari camps) were stitched together seamlessly. We spent four nights in the Lewa Conservancy (Lewa Safari Camp) and four nights in the Mara North Conservancy (Elephant Pepper Camp). We were very happy to have visited these two different regions of Kenya, and were completely satisfied with both locations: the staff, the site, the guide, the game drives. We also enjoyed the village visit at Lewa.

African Adventure Holiday in Absolute Luxury!
Nearly two weeks travelling around and going on Safari in Botswana, in the Delta and the Chobe River and National Park was fantastic. We stayed in excellent and very comfortable safari camps and on the Zambezi Queen. All the transfers were well organised, on time and easy to find. Against the backdrop of chaos in Africa out tour was well organised and ran like clockwork.

Expert Africa are well informed and well organised. The developed an individualised itinerary for us and we felt well looked after everywhere we went.





Another wonderful African experience
Our 18th trip to Africa - each one a delight! We were returning to Tafika for the third time, which speaks for itself and visiting Nkwali for the first time - we would certainly choose to go there again. Accommodation, hosting, guiding, food - all of the very highest standard. We had a wonderful time!

We have travelled many times with Expert Africa because they always visit the camps listed in their excellent brochure and therefore have first-hand knowledge of the area and facilities. Everything is handled professionally and efficiently and with great attention to detail.





Flawless trip
We spent 2 nights at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge in Livingstone to see Victoria Falls, 7 nights in 3 Norman Carr camps (Luwi, Nsolo & Mchenja) in South Luangwa National Park & 4 days at Kaya Mawa on Likoma Island, Malawi. Our trip was perfect - from pickup at the airport in Livingstone to drop off at Likoma's airport for our journey back to the States. This was our fourth trip to Africa & we have been on multiple safaris prior to this trip, ...
We spent 2 nights at Waterberry Zambezi Lodge in Livingstone to see Victoria Falls, 7 nights in 3 Norman Carr camps (Luwi, Nsolo & Mchenja) in South Luangwa National Park & 4 days at Kaya Mawa on Likoma Island, Malawi. Our trip was perfect - from pickup at the airport in Livingstone to drop off at Likoma's airport for our journey back to the States. This was our fourth trip to Africa & we have been on multiple safaris prior to this trip, but we were still blown away by the animal viewing & the entire experience. The walking safaris were amazing & we loved that we rarely saw other vehicles in South Luangwa & that the area seemed unspoiled. Ending our holiday on the beach at Kaya Mawa was the perfect way to end an already perfect trip!

Because of Expert Africa's planning & the confidence they instilled in us during the planning process, we were happy to just show up & go with the flow! We really liked that their website provided balanced reviews of each lodge so that we could make the most well-informed decisions on where to stay. The agent we dealt with was Claire Scott & she was wonderful - really responsive to emails despite being on a different continent & she was also available to chat with by phone. I feel she really listened to our likes/dislikes & as a result, she was able to put together an amazing trip for us tailored to all the things we wanted out of the trip. And our expectations were far exceeded.





Fantastic trip to the Mafia archipelago
an amazing time staying at Chole Mjini - no electric, no running water, but an island paradise, beautifully landscaped to encourage all local flora and fauna. The baobab trees are majestic and the treehouses are simply stunning. Jean and Anne are the hosts that you can only wish for, a couple who deserve recognition for the philanthropic work that they do so voluntarily. Our 16 year old son took his PADI open water and his advanced, giving ...

Magic in Namibia and Botswana
Awell organised trip from brochure, and booking to getting there and returning home. We stayed at some wonderful lodges with spectacular scenery, saw amazing animals -- five rhino coming to drink, desert elephant foraging in a dry river bed,a dozen giraffe appearing over the horizon, a hyena strolling across the road at dusk, aardwolves lounging on the edge of a fairy circle- and great birding too. We stayed by rivers, in the desert, by the ...

We stayed by rivers, in the desert, by the sea and in a wild life park- meeting some inspirational people along the way-an altogether unforgetable experience.

Personal service with a named contact who took our wishes on board and had personal experience of many of the places we wanted to visit has given us confidence over the years to use Expert Africa time and time again. They have never let us down - places are as they say in their brochure, trips well organised and smooth running. We would - and have - recommend them.





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

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
