Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The Katavi/Mahale combination really is an outstanding safari experience and offers great wildlife viewing combined with tracking chimpanzees.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

All arrangements and service by Expert Africa were of the highest quality: professional, friendly and very timely. I would not hesitate to use the company again and would certainly recommend them.

Although my KLM flight to Heathrow was cancelled, rearranged via Dublin and luggage still not recovered!, this is purely down to that airline.

EA have been terrific." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"One of the best holidays we ever had, worth every single penny of the investment.

We are very happy to have Expert Africa organize the trip for us, would recommend them to anyone.

Megan Green was very helpful throughout, both when planning for the trip as well as answering some queries during our trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We loved the trip as a whole and most lodges we stayed at were great - Ongava and Okonjima especially. Everything fitted together well.

The short welcome at Quivertree was a surprise as everyone elsewhere was so welcoming and friendly, but as it was just 1 night it didn't matter.

By the time lunch, drinks and game drives are added to the HB cost I suspect it's not much cheaper than Ongava which had a lot more to offer." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 21 on a Namibia trip

"To say it short... Perfect and breathtaking trip! There is nothing to add." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 20 on a Zambia safari

"All the logistics worked well but there was a lot of long distance travel between lodges and the roads were often in a very poor state.

Lodges were very nice and staff excellent. I was impressed by the way the camps used all local staff and supported the local village school at Ngoma from Camelthorn.

Guides were all excellent and really ensured we saw as much as possible." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We loved this trip. It was our second time in Africa having been to Zambia previously. This had been a really memorable trip and we were worried that coming back to Africa may not be so good second time around

We were not disappointed all the arrangements went well. The camps and lodges were well chosen and exceeded our expectations

Combined with the fact that Namibia is just such a safe clean welcoming country this was a holiday of a lifetime

"Our trip was wonderful and organized well by Justin (in California). He had suggested the order in which we should do this trip and i completely agree with his recommendations.

While at Kanana, "Doctor" our guide asked why i had requested him, and i told him i did not, but apparently Justin had put in a request that Doctor be our guide when he made our reservation, and for that i am extremely grateful to Justin.

Having never heard of Expert Africa before, i was quite nervous about all arrangements, but from the first transfer i quickly learned i had nothing to be concerned about. A truly first class organization that i will not hesitate to recommend.

Continue to encourage your staff to visit the properties because their feedback is how we made our selections." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"A fantastic trip!

It took a while to organise everything but Tom was ever helpful in suggesting alternatives and doing his utmost to include everything we asked for.

Would we do it again - you bet!" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"My husband and I had a truly memorable honeymoon which successfully balanced our wishes for a rustic safari experience whilst providing the creature comforts to make the trip a truly relaxing and enjoyable one. We loved the unspoilt charm of the Selous and Ruaha and that they were not overrun with tourists. The snorkelling at Mafia was some of the best we've both done with the reef, whilst noticeably damaged, still maintaining diverse life.

All transfers were pretty seemless so we really had no stress for the whole two weeks we were away." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
