Tailor-made South Africa Holiday by Jane@Overton, 16 Feb 2015

Expertly arranged first trip to fabulous South Africa

We had our first five nights of our fifteen nights away staying with friends in Cape Town on the Waterfront which was by our own arrangement. After that we collected a hire car and stayed at three further places all arranged by the excellent Claire Scott from Expert Africa. The whole holiday went very smoothly including our flights and transfers with British Airways which were also arranged by Expert Africa. Nothing was too much trouble ...

We had our first five nights of our fifteen nights away staying with friends in Cape Town on the Waterfront which was by our own arrangement. After that we collected a hire car and stayed at three further places all arranged by the excellent Claire Scott from Expert Africa. The whole holiday went very smoothly including our flights and transfers with British Airways which were also arranged by Expert Africa. Nothing was too much trouble and and all our queries and requests were handled superbly. We will be visiting South Africa again and would not hesitate to use the same company.

Tailor-made Kenya Safari by Travel Forever , 13 Feb 2015

A fantastic holiday to Kenya and Tanzania that fulfilled all we wanted to see and do.

This was a trip of a lifetime to Kenya and Tanzania. We visited Tortilis Camp for the views of Kilimanjaro plus the animals. Then we moved on to Olakira Camp in the Maasai Mara and had some fantastic animal sightings. We then crossed the border into Tanzania and flew to the South eastern Serengeti to see the thousands of Wildebeest.

We then crossed the border into Tanzania and flew to the South eastern Serengeti to see the thousands of Wildebeest. We stayed in Ndutu Camp and had some great drives seeing some fantastic animal sightings. From there we had a driver/guide to take us to see the Oldupai Gorge and then on to the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw many animals including Black Rhini. Finally we went to Lake Manyara National Park and saw tree lions being driven out of the tree by trumpeting elephants.

Our holiday was organised by Eleanor Dunkels from Expert Africa. She worked in conjunction with us to sort out the safari trip that we wanted so we could include all the places we wanted to visit. Overall it was a superb, fantastic trip and we saw all the things we had hoped to see plus much, much more. With thanks to Eleanor and Expert Africa this became the Holiday Of A Lifetime !

Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by Mr J M 15, 7 Feb 2015

Best safari yet after numerous visits to Africa.

A 16 day safari where virtually everything was perfect was too much to expect but that is what we got.

Another brilliant safari through Expert Africa

My safari spending 4 nights at Lake Manze in the Selous and 6 nights at Kwihala in Ruaha, Tanzania was utterly brilliant and the arrangements made by Expert Africa were perfect as always. I have been to Lake Manze twice previously but this was my first visit to Kwihala. Both camps were wonderful and lived up to or exceeded expectations. Expert Africa were as good as ever.

Tailor-made Mozambique Holiday by Ana from Brazil, 3 Feb 2015
Holiday Rating:

Great holidays. Because we chose Africa AND because it was planned with Expert Africa

My husband and I went to Mozambique, with a short stop in Johannesburg. After a couple of days in Johannesburg we went to Mozambique where we visited Tofo Beach for a week and then stayed with Azura Benguerra for another week. In Azura we had a fenomenal week. Simple and beautiful. After that we flew back for another couple of days in Johburg We loved it all. And will be back to Africa, I hope, soon.

Expert Africa was excellent from planning and quotations steps till the confirmation of all we chose. Our vacations were well executed and Expert Africa helped a lot on the choices we made and then making it all simple in terms of bookings, confirmations and documentations. What we also lide was that they were candid on things they did not thought great. It wasn't all the time a sales pitch, which is good.

EA team members responded quickly and knowledgeably in helping me make plans for this trip. Claire Scott knew all about the camps and areas where we wanted to go and her recommendations were spot on. I think she knew what would work for me before i did! I couldn't have asked for more.

A magical visit to the beautiful country, Namibia.

We did a circular tour starting in Windhoek, going up to Etosha, down to Damaraland and into the Namib-Naukluft Desert, ending in Windhoek. We experienced many different things, saw lots of animals and some amazing landscapes while staying in some excellent lodges and guesthouses.

The tour operator gave us useful ideas for planning our trip. We had limited time and wanted to make the best use of it. She suggested places we had not considered and advised against other places we had been interested in. She added a lot of value.
