Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I have recommended Expert Africa and Tracy Lederer several times to travellers I met on this trip. The first part in Namibia at the Namib-Naukluft Park was even more rewarding than I expected. It was very hot, however, I had 6 clear nights and took advantage of them to do my astrophotography with some excellent results. Being allowed to enter the main park early at 4.30am was a huge bonus. After that I was a little sleep deprived, but it was worth it Both Sossus Dune Lodge and Sossusvlei Desert Lodge were excellent.

The two "cat" related lodges Okonjima Bush Camp and Cheetah View Lodge were interesting and worth visiting. I spent 6 days at Cheetah View Lodge, 3 days at both lodges would have been sufficient.

Olive Grove Guesthouse and Ilala Lodge were repeat visits and I enjoyed both.

The disappointment of the tour was the Pangolin Photo Tour. It should have been excellent but the combination of an inexperienced Photo Host and poor drivers at the Ker and Downey camps was not effective. I would recommend the Chobe River as a wildlife photography site, however, I would be less enthusiastic about Pangolin Tour Company unless you were assured of an experienced photo host. The two Ker and Downey camps were OK, however, I've stayed in better camps in the Moremi and Kalahari areas." Read full review: 33 nights in Africa; 19 on a Namibia trip

"It was a great mix of different parks and conservancies.

We had plenty of time at each camp to see the best of the local wildlife.

The final stop at Emakoko was worth every penny." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"The camps were lovely and we were very happy with the level of guiding.

Tanzania is a beautiful country with a lot of culture, wildlife, and birds.

The strict rules about walking away from camp are quite different, but it is because of the dangerous animals." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"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!"
