Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"I keep saying that my next safari will be my last safari…other places to see and do, etc. etc. But I’m no sooner done with safari than it is done with me. I was already planning the next one on the 5th day of this one! And I know I’ll reach out to Richard. It could not be a more seamless, positive experience than dropping Richard an email and knowing he’ll get all the details right. And he does.

When I was unsure about combining Lewa and Ol Pejeta (I thought them to be too “samey”) he put my mind at ease and now that I’ve experienced them myself, he was absolutely right. His guidance and feedback are completely on point. This itinerary was wonderful and delivered on everything I’d hoped to see and do. Rhinos, varied landscapes, stunning camps, a return to my beloved Mara — this had it all.

I’ll drop you an email in a few months, Richard! Safari 2025 beckons!

"A very nice trip off the beaten track.

If you are looking for peace and seclusion, this is the place for you.

It may be a little different in the high season...

Not at the moment, as the trip was wonderfully organized and my wishes were actively taken into account." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Tanzania safari

"I have travelled on safari to East and Southern Africa on many occasions now.

This trip was one of the best with everything running like clockwork." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"I had an incredible trip and would (and have) recommended Expert Africa and the locations I traveled to to others.

The animal sightings, which were the driving force behind my desire to travel to Kenya, were beyond my wildest dreams.

I felt escorted through each step on my itinerary, which was very important to me as I was traveling solo.

I greatly appreciated the support I received and plan to return to Africa in the not-so-distant future.

"A lovely holiday.

Lots of variety and we feel as if we have been away for a long time – always the sign of a good break, I think.

We wouldn’t change anything about the trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 20 on a Kenya safari

"I highly recommend Expert Africa: every aspect of the trip was organised to a tee and all the arrangement worked out.

Great advice on camps, locations, logistics, etc.

I usually plan all my own trips but after this experience would be happy to delegate to Expert Africa for future trips." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"Great apart from upset stomach for a couple - should have sent the egg Bach to have it cooked more.
Beautiful birds and knowledgeable guides at 2 lodges in particular

"Perfect!" Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Kenya safari

"Overall we all agree it was the best family trip we've ever done, we just loved it!

Tracy was very patient with the booking arrangements and all her suggestions were sensible. I think a conversation about how busy Cape Town would be in the New Year would have helped, although I suppose with hindsight it's obvious. Otherwise I really can't think of anything that could have been done better.

Thank you so much for helping us create the amazing memories we now have!

Just have to work out how we can do this all again!!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a South Africa trip
