Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We only visited Giraffe Manor on this trip, but would recommend it to anyone if you get the opportunity to go.

It was a real bucket list experience and more than exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 1 nights in Africa; 1 on a Kenya safari

"Our trip was run like a well-oiled machine. From start to finish you didn't have to worry about one aspect of your itinerary.

To make this point clearer, on arrival at the airport to depart Nairobi it looked like total chaos and we could only park some distance from the terminal. I thought how are we going to know where to go and carry our bags. The driver opened our door and there was the guide with a trolley for our luggage. He guided us to the priority check in and ensured a smooth process. This illustrates our experience throughout." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari

"Another great trip, thank you very much. I am mostly clear about what sort of trip I am after but find it very useful to be able to bounce ideas and get further information and guidance from Expert Africa.

I greatly appreciate the end to end service that Expert Africa provides, which takes away any little worries concerning travel arrangements.

The 'meet and greet' service and the use of a hotel room between flight connections is a particularly welcome feature." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was seamless and was a memory of a lifetime. I can definitely see myself going on another safari in the future! Parita was always easy to get a hold of, and she dealt with my millions of questions and itinerary changes gracefully! I would definitely use expert Africa again in the future!"

We can't wait to go back." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"It had taken us a very long time to go on Safari, but this holiday was a true life experience. We hoped we would enjoy the holiday but it significantly exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was excellent, the Safari drives were superb, you do have to have a little luck with what you see, but our Guides were so knowledgeable and the fact that we went to smaller camps meant the area was less crowded and only rarely did we see any other cars. The food well exceeded expectations.
Having no idea what the practicalities would be, we asked Jessica loads of questions and she was very patient and helpful.

As we collected our thoughts on the return journey home, we both agreed that this was one of our best holiday experiences, we could not have asked for more!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari

"Jessica was extremely efficient and helpful right from when we started planning our trip and we would have no hesitation in recommending her and Expert Africa to friends and family.

The website is helpful and informative and contact via phone and email rapid and easy.

There were two glitches in our travel plans, neither of which were EA's fault (Coastal cancelled some of the flights booked with them and our first camp was evacuated due to unseasonably heavy rain); Jessica dealt with both of these rapidly and efficiently so that our trip was only minimally affected - exactly what we would want and expect from a high quality travel company.

The only reason for rating the overall trip "fairly satisfactory" was the unseasonably heavy rain which impacted our experience in Ruaha and Nyerere to some extent. Obviously the weather isn't in EA's control but, if we return to Tanzania, given the high overall cost of such trips and because climate change appears to be making things increasingly unpredictable we would think twice about going in Jan/Feb and camps like Kigelia clearly become less attractive/available in these circumstances."
