back to the African bush after covid

Wonderful trip back to our happy place--the African bush. The sights, the bird song, the smells--there is nothing else like it. Added a few days at Babylonstoren and then a final few nights in Capetown. It was fabulous.

A unique holiday, tailor made to fit our requirements

Our experience of three trips there tells us that holidays to the Kgalagadi Transnational Park in Southern Africa are difficult for us to put together independently. Hence I invariably consult the experts and I know that of UK firms nobody has better experience and expertise in this area than Expert Africa. They put together a package that gave us an 18 day holiday including 12 nights in the park and hence the opportunity to see the game and ...

Our experience of three trips there tells us that holidays to the Kgalagadi Transnational Park in Southern Africa are difficult for us to put together independently. Hence I invariably consult the experts and I know that of UK firms nobody has better experience and expertise in this area than Expert Africa. They put together a package that gave us an 18 day holiday including 12 nights in the park and hence the opportunity to see the game and bird life of that extraordinary area. They do the necessary research on the places we are to visit and the routes we should take so I travel full of confidence - rather important for those of us of advancing years!

Cape Town & Namibia

We spent five days in Cape Town and then took a privately arranged photography tour in southern Namibia for ten days. When this tour ended, we spent eight days in northern Namibia. Beautiful scenery, amazing adventures, an outstanding guide. Fabulous experiences. One of our best trips.

Our accommodations and transports in Cape Town were arranged by Expert Africa. After our privately booked photography tour in southern Namibia, we were met by our Expert Africa/Ultimate Safaris guide for our eight day northern Namibia tour. Superbly arranged itinerary. Outstanding guide. Expert Africa was a pleasure to work with -- responsive to our questions, very knowledgeable about Cape Town and Namibia, listened to our trip wishes and requests, helpful, and with good advice. We give Expert Africa our highest recommendation.

Rating for tour operator:

They were very accessible, informative and friendly. I particularly welcomed the ability to talk things over on the phone. We were trying to maximise our experience but needed to ensure it was affordable. This involved a few changes in booking arrangements and these were all done very professionally and without any fuss.

Expert Africa gets it right again!

24 nights in South Africa - perhaps the most beautiful country on Earth - and certainly the best hotels to come home to in the evening. A great country to self drive, we drove along the coast from cape Town to Port Elizabeth and then back through the Karoo

We always use Expert Africa when we visit Africa. They listen carefully to your interests and needs and then deliver exactly what you ask for - and then some! ....and their brochure is a "coffee table book"!

Safari at Kwandwe, South Africa

Expert Africa arranged for us to conclude a longer South African journey with two days' safari. Beautiful rooms, wonderful food, fantastic and experienced guides, twice daily game drives, fun company, and the kind of attention to detail by the staff that is rare indeed made it a most wonderful two days. Add to that South African night skies, lions, zebra, elephants, giraffes, cheetah, leopard in their own habitat, a landscape that was being ...

Expert Africa arranged for us to conclude a longer South African journey with two days' safari. Beautiful rooms, wonderful food, fantastic and experienced guides, twice daily game drives, fun company, and the kind of attention to detail by the staff that is rare indeed made it a most wonderful two days. Add to that South African night skies, lions, zebra, elephants, giraffes, cheetah, leopard in their own habitat, a landscape that was being re-wilded in an amazing way, and a reserve that was also supporting development in the local community - I have to go back to Kwandwe.

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa arranged for us to conclude a longer South African journey with two days' safari. Their expertise and resourcefulness in finding something just right for us in the shape of Kwandwe Game Reserve, and their attention to detail was impeccable. We had the most amazing time, and would not hesitate to recommend this company to anyone who asked. The personal experience and input of Tracy Lederer who handled our booking was very helpful (she knew the product she was selling first hand), and she made us feel valued and well looked after. Administratively I could not fault the company either, and they enabled us to have an experience that was excellent value for money, and to enjoy one of those experiences which is a lifetime high point.
