Not at all chi chi, but great service given from the heart.

Not really?!" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"The trip was wonderful, very well organised and planned.

Our special requests were all noted and fed through to the camps which made us feel very special. Thank you

We loved Mchenja and Chongwe camps and although the treehouse at Flatdogs is totally unique, the experience does not quite match the other 2 camps.

Our suggestion would be to stay at Flatdogs first, outside the park before moving into the much quieter and exclusive inner park.

We loved being asked to record our wildlife sightings." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"There were a few problems but nothing serious enough to spoil the holiday which was superb.

We keep going back to the Kwando Camps because, whilst they are very comfortable, their emphasis is still on wildlife and they still use both a guide and a tracker, drive off-road and after dark. This makes the holiday much more exciting and much more interesting because it is a fascinating to watch the interaction between the guide and the tracker and see how they work together. As a consequence there are some amazing sightings, although some are as a result of communication between jeeps.

We keep coming back and each time we have a fantastic time with many new experiences and sightings of animals we have not seen before, particularly on night drives. We will be back!

No as I have always found Expert Africa's staff very knowledgeable and helpful but Lucy, who I worked with to sort out this trip, was particularly helpful and a delight to deal with.

I have, and will continue to recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"This was a fantastic trip - many thanks to Claire.

The remoteness we experienced in North Luangwa in particular, and the quality of the guiding plus the lack of other vehicles in all the places we visited, were really very special indeed.

Walking in the bush, particularly with Remote Africa, was both immersive and addictive and coupled with the smaller, rustic nature of the camps we stayed at throughout the holiday has very much whetted our appetites for more!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Exceeded our expectations on many levels. Just very different to anything else we had experienced. The country has done a fantastic job making tourism so easily accessible and safe to travel. Just wished we had longer as many more parts to explore. Have already recommended Namibia as a destination to anyone who asks about our holiday."

"An enjoyable safari which, as ever, leaves one wanting more and eager to return.
On this occasion Expert Africa got everything right and all credit must go to Tom for this." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"Excellent from start to finish!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"A safari has always been on our bucket list and we are so glad we chose Zambia and with the help of Expert Africa we couldn't have asked for more - the whole experience was exceptional. We always said we did not want to feel like we had had a day out at Chester Zoo / Whipsnade Safari park - --and we can categorically state that we did not! Everything was perfect, and exceeded our expectations.


The initial call to Expert Africa made us feel like a customer dealing with a company that cared about what we wanted to achieve from the holiday. All the lodges we stayed at were superb, it was luxury in the bush. The game viewing was second to none, not only all the "big animal" but also some very interesting smaller ones (elephant shrew, honey badgers, porcupines, mongoose).


A perfect holiday that we will talk about for a very long time, thank you." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"this holiday had the perfect combination of a variety of very different contrasting destinations, time to chill out in exquisite lodges, the bustle of a culturally and historically fascinating city, the thrill of travelling to a tiny island group at Mafia - the fun of snorkelling and diving - monkeys, butterflies, coral reef and fish - perfect
