Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Katavi and Mafia are both fairly off-the-beaten-track, which I loved, although there was quite a lot of travel in between locations. Flight schedules also meant having to spend a day at either end of the trip in Arusha, which was probably not the most efficient use of time, especially for a short holiday.

However, Katavi and Mafia were both places I really wanted to visit and I wouldn't have changed that." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"I love Namibia's diverse and constantly changing landscape which constantly piques and grabs your attention.

There is so much to see and experience as you travel around and each day presents something truly remarkable and special." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"We have had many African safari holidays but this was one of the best.

Small peaceful remote camps, excellent staff and accommodation. Standard of guiding was exceptional. The wildlife viewing was amazing.

For those interested in photography the provision of dust covers, beanbags etc was helpful and the hides afforded great opportunities to get amazing shots." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"A truly brilliant trip - one of our best and we have been to Africa on safari on many occasions..

Our fears of the valley being overrun by vehicles were unfounded as the southern end of the Park was just beautiful and only saw Kainga and Mwamba vehicles. Plenty of game but then it was very hot and animals had to come to water. Wonderful photographic opportunities!

We would recommend this trip but perhaps go to the lodge on the Lower Zambezi at the end of the holiday and have a relaxing afternoon on the river and then collected for evening game drive!

All in all a memorable holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"An unexpected and excellent surprise" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari

"Expert Africa was quite helpful and knowledgeable in helping with our planning. I believe we got very good advice in planning our trip, including decisions on depth vs breadth, Central vs Northern Serengeti, preferable places for bird watching.

Later, when one of our party dropped out, and we had to substitute another, the change was handled quite smoothly.

Asilia, the operator has a great reputation in Arusha, and it is obvious why. The vehicles are great - our guide, Harry was professional, and very experienced. He didnt break any rules chasing sightings, or harassing the animals." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We were very impressed with the Asilia staff at all the locations we visited. It would appear that their staff training is very good as there is a notably high standard of commonality between sites - quite a rarity these days.

Well done Expert Africa! The itinerary put together by Olivia was absolutely spot and fully met our brief for a unique safari holiday. The order in which we completed it and the places we stayed worked ever so well, to the point that the great experience built throughout and finished with a real crescendo in our final camp. Hard to beat it!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
