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.

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!

Rating for tour operator:

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.

Rating for tour operator:

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

Loved my safari in South Luangwa National Park

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.

Excellent trip to Zambia

One week in South Luanga walking with guides - a fantastic experience. A second week on the banks of the Zambesi where we enjoyed a variety of activities including sailing on the river.

Five weeks in Zambia

A wonderful holiday. We loved the contrasts between South Luangwa, Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Parks. The animals and birds were incredible most especially in South Luangwa. Victoria Falls should not be missed on any trip to Zambia. Finally a tribute to the Zambian people. Wherever we went the warmth and friendliness of these gentle people shone through.

Great and varied safari experience in Zambia and Malawi

Well organised and balanced safari trip including the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa in Zambia and Majete in Malawi. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. We want to go back again soon!

Fantastic safari holiday in Zambia

We had 2 weeks in Zambia, spent mostly at 3 lodges in South Luangwa Park. The lodges were all excellent - very comfortable accommodation, good food and excellent guiding. The wildlife sightings were incredible, especially of leopards and lions- far better than we'd had on previous safaris in Botswana and Namibia. Would have loved to have been able to spend longer there.

Very knowledgeable about the area, responded quickly to questions and concerns. Provided good pre-departure information and contacts in case of problems during the trip.

Safari/lakeside chill out combination

7 nights safari in Zambia, followed by 7 nights relaxing at Likoma Island on Lake Malawi. Top class game viewing and camp management with Robin Pope Safaris, with regular sightings of all the expected animals and birds, good meals and accomodation. Wonderfully laid back beach relaxation at Kaya Mawa - very welcoming, safe, non-commercial and stress free. Excellent combination efficiently assembled by Expert Africa, our preferred operators ...

Expert Africa - their team have visited and know their recommended locations well. They take the time to understand clients' interests and expectations, and are able to cope with time or cost constraints in an intelligent manner. We keep going back to them, and recommend other travellers to Africa to give them a try.
