"My Sep 2024 trip"
Lucy was so helpful as health challenges kept cropping up prior to departure. She was reassuring and helpful with dealing with a cancellation of my other traveler. She encouraged me to travel solo and I am so grateful she did, as it was an amazing trip.
I would also like to thank her for having people on the ground meeting me in Lusaka and Jburg to navigate airports when there were tight connections, and transfer to hotel in Lusaka.

"My Sep 2024 trip"
We have used ExpertAfrica for many trips to Africa and each has been very good. The company understands the types of accommodation and activities we enjoy so can recommend the best camps for us. They delivered again this time. Communication was good and recommendations spot on.
The camp managers all commented on how much they value their relationships with Expert Africa.
One of the managers noted "they have chosen their name well - they are Experts".

"Our spectacular Okavango safari holiday "
The Expert Africa team member we dealt with, Tom Morris, suggested a series of camps run by Kwando Safaris from which we chose Lagoon, Mma Dinare and Splash to give a variety of environments. Kwando have private concessions on land owned by the local villagers and that gives a level of exclusivity not available elsewhere in Africa in our experience.
All the camps were excellent. The safari experience at these camps was unbeatable, with more game and more interaction with their behaviour but none of the intrusion from other game trucks experienced at other destinations.
The guides, trackers and staff at each of the camps were genuinely welcoming and looked after us faultlessly. It has hard to understand how they could maintain that level of cheerfulness and pride in their work and environment at all times while working up to 18 hours a day, every day.
When our outbound BA flight was delayed late on Saturday night, the Expert Africa emergency system responded immediately to help us reorganise the journey, and provided additional prompt support on the Sunday morning.
Overall the organisation provided by Expert Africa was faultless." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Our last Safari. Age has caught up"
We deliberately wanted to go to Camps which were unspoilt and/or rustic as they used to be when we started and also in areas with few vehicles and unspoilt countryside. Hence our choice of Laikipia and Tangulia and they both met our our wishes. The highlight of the safari has to be the migration particularly as it was unexpected as we thought the dates were not right for this sighting.
We will miss the sights and sounds of Africa (and the cuts and bruises!!) all of which we experienced on this safari.
Our thanks must be given to all the staff at Expert Africa who we have dealt with over the many years without whom we would not have had our African Adventures.

Namibia is stunning, both the landscapes and the wildlife. We had amazing food, amazing camps, some great guides and it was just the best experience.
I’d highly recommend it to anyone and, for us, flying seems like the best way to see as much as you can in a limited amount of time. It is all run so beautifully and it is unbelievable how these camps can exist in such remote places, and be top notch.
The attention to detail is superb, it really was fab, we absolutely loved Namibia." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
