A special holiday perfectly delivered

A trip to South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. The trip included stays in 3 game lodges and travel from the UK . All aspects of the trip were organised by Expert Africa. It was a perfect experience for us. We are in our mid 70s but we were able to travel hassle free. We were taken on game drives, in groups of never more than 4, by very competent and interesting guides. We had a number of escorted walks again in small groups. International ...

International transport was well organised and all arrangements worked like clockwork

Rating for tour operator:

The operator (Expert Africa) put together an excellent package. Our communication was with one member of staff in whom we had complete trust, He built a good rapport with us from the start. We felt that he understood our needs and he certainly delivered a package that was well above our expectation

We knew which lodge we wanted to book when we contacted our tour operator. However questions do always come up once the trip gets closer and we always received a very friendly and prompt reply. The amount of information we received was also incredible! We will definitely book again with Expert Africa!

Wonderful safari in the South Luangwa

This was our ninth safari trip ( all organised by Expert Africa) and we returned to Zambia for the fifth time. The South Luangwa National Park is a wonderful destination, and we enjoyed staying 11 nights in various Robin Pope Safari camps.

Expert Africa gave us all the help and attention we needed to plan and book our holiday. Their knowledge of the camps we wanted to visit and the areas of Africa we were interested in going to was very detailed. The personal service that Eleanor at Expert Africa offered could not have been more helpful and accommodating and her knowledge was unsurpassed.

2 terrific weeks in Zambia

We spent 2 weeks in Zambia in the latter part of August and early September. With the superb assistance of Lucy Copson at Expert Africa we put together an itinerary that included 5 different camps. Two in the South Luwanga Park, two in the Lower Zambezi Park and one at Viictoria Falls. We loved each and every camp. The game drives were terrific and we really enjoyed the other activities including the hikes, canoe trips and fishing on the Zambezi ...

The game drives were terrific and we really enjoyed the other activities including the hikes, canoe trips and fishing on the Zambezi River. Based upon all that we had read, we had high expectations for the camps and the safari experience - but our high expectations were met and even exceeded. We can high,u recommend Licy and Expert Africa to anyone thinking about a safari to Zambia. We are selective travelers but we were so pleased with every aspect of our trip that we will be customers of Lucy and Expert Africa again.

Rating for tour operator:

Lucy at Expert Africa was terrific to work with. We found her to be super responsive. She was extremely knowledgeable about Zambia and the various camps. Our itinerary was perfect in every respect. No problems. No complaints.

Amazing trip to South Luangwa Park - Zambia

We had an amazing safari week in Zambia, staying at Kafunta River Lodge and Island Bush Camp. The service was superb, food and drink excellent and safari experience beyond expectations, both game drives and walking! We'd highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to do a safari holiday.

Freddie Sutton from Expert Africa was excellent from the start. My first call lasted 45 minutes, in which he described all of the options within Zambia available to us and relative costs. This was followed by posted details on the options I'd narrowed down on the phone. Once the trip was booked, we received a travel guide and updates from Freddie relevant to our trip, even alerting us to problems experience at Heathrow that may have affected our flights that we'd booked independently! Great local knowledge, very practical. Very impressed!

Family Safari in Zambia

A fantastic itinerary with unique experiences in some very special places. We spent time at Shiwa Ng'andu, a working farm with rich colonial history in a beautiful place. We had an amazing safari experience in South Luangwa with Remote Africa Safaris, walking and driving including night drives. The level of service here was extremely high. We finished at Livingstone and the Victoria Falls - amazing as ever.

Safari holiday based at the Kafunta River Lodge Mfuwe. It was a fabulous all round experience. The Lodge offered superb accommodation in an excellent location.

Superb Safari

I have lost count of the number of trips Expert Africa have organised for me, but this was the best yet. A wonderful trip to South Luangwa in Zambia.

Wonderful! The greatest show on earth!

We stayed in four bush camps and two hotels in Zambia, July/August 2016, and had the most amazing time. We stayed in really luxurious rondavels and chalets, ate lavishly and were driven through the South Luangwa National Park day after day and night after night by incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guides who showed us lions, leopards, zebra, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, birds of all sorts, wild dogs, hyenas and many other creatures in ...

We stayed in four bush camps and two hotels in Zambia, July/August 2016, and had the most amazing time. We stayed in really luxurious rondavels and chalets, ate lavishly and were driven through the South Luangwa National Park day after day and night after night by incredibly knowledgeable and experienced guides who showed us lions, leopards, zebra, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, birds of all sorts, wild dogs, hyenas and many other creatures in their natural habitat, doing what they do. We loved it! We then went to Lusaka and stayed in an excellent hotel, Latitude 15, where we were looked after very well while JMW explored places he'd last been in in the early 1960s. Finally we visited Livingstone, stayed at the Royal Livingstone Hotel and had a splendid time exploring the Victoria Falls Park and enjoying the other diversions offered in the area. It's just tough being home again.

Rating for tour operator:

Our holiday was brilliantly set up and organised. Even when Emirates "bumped" us and we had to spend two nights in Dubai, Expert Africa's good offices ensured minimal disruption to our plans. JMW had discussed things with the representative who set up our itinerary and I had not wanted to join in the planning, so it all unfolded before me in a magical way.
