"I've recommended EA to a friend who said they were taking a safari trip, but they had already booked.

If we were to take another safari trip, we would def use Richard and his company.

When we made our initial deposit, my husbands payment went right through on his credit card. For some reason my wouldn't with my card. I called and spoke with a young lady located in New Zealand (which was fun since I've been to NZ and have family on both islands). She was quite helpful and got my payment to go through.

On emails, Richard always got back with me in a very timely manner." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This trip exceeded all of my expectations, which were high.

I loved every minute of it, and particularly appreciated Nancie Wight’s expertise and guidance.

I will definitely use Expert Africa again if I have the opportunity." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"We had a great time in Botswana, again!!

Despite us leaving the decision until almost too late (September 2023 for a June 2024 trip), Lucy Copson managed to arrange a wonderful range of camps in the Okavango for us. She managed to book the last available accommodation at the camps despite recovering from a major operation, for which we are immensely grateful.

Lucy has been unfailingly helpful and effective in arranging and communicating with us, despite her illness in the leadup to this 2024 trip. She was equally helpful and effective during the rapidly-changing Covid requirements in the planning and leadup to the 2022 trip.

Our travel documents arrived on time, both times, and had a lot of reassuring details about managing health, travel and other possible difficulties while on safari. We have never needed them, but were very glad to have the details and know that backup plans were in place.

The Expert Africa website is an excellent resource, especially for those of us who like to read about where we are going in great detail. The toll-free number has been a great resource for urgent questions when email is inadequate.

We would recommend Expert Africa and Lucy Copson without hesitation to our friends, and are dreaming already of another safari somewhere in Africa!" Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 12 on a Botswana safari

"Another enjoyable trip to South Luangwa" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"I really enjoyed going on Safari in Zambia for the first time after many safaris in other parts of Africa.

Very friendly and relaxed experience, less commercial and crowded than Tanzania and Kenya.

Visited the Lower Zambezi and South and North Luangwa parks and especially loved North Luangwa which is still an incredibly unspoiled and wild place. A real wilderness experience !

I loved the abillity to do long walking safaris mixed with more traditional game drives and boat/canoe safaris.

Exceptional guiding and overall great game viewing with the highlight being 3 consecutive days of watching a pack of 17 wild dogs hunting/killing buffalo, waterbuck and impala." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"Overall we were very pleased with our trip and had an amazing experience. Maruska was extremely helpful and responsive in both planning the trip and in addressing any questions that came up during our trip. She was very patient and thoughtful in answering every question, no matter how minor, and helped craft an itinerary that ended up being exactly what we were looking for."
