Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Lucy booked our last visit to these camps and we were very pleased that she was able to arrange the return.

The documentation provided by her was extremely clear and the ground arrangements ran like clockwork.

We had a wonderful trip with superb wildlife sightings and experiences in one of our favourite locations." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"we had a great trip.

Again a million thanks for all Claire's work in advance of the trip, and Amanda's help "in situ" on October 1st-both re the lost baggage and the medical help + getting hold of a doctor in Lusaka, in record time- 45 minutes!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"We would not have changed any of our accommodation, each lodge was perfect in its own way. Despite some misunderstandings in the planning process we were very happy with our trip which was quite memorable.

If we were booking this trip again we would allow at least three extra days and limit driving to about 4 hours so that we arrived by the early afternoon to allow time time to relax and enjoy the lodges facilities..

One night half way between Eningy Clay House and Hoodia Desert Lodge to break the journey. It took 7 and a half hours for this journey using the scenic route.

An extra night in Swakophund

An additional night in Okonjima, probably in the bush camp.

Ideally we would book earlier to ensure accommodation availability." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

"The trip confirmed that Zambia remains my favourite safari destination in Africa, with its wonderful small, family-owned camps and unbeatable driving and walking safaris.

"A very special trip to a very special place.

Well organised, lovely accommodation.

Transfers all worked, although one was a bit tight. One of the camps, Selinda Explorers is a new favourite!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Expert Africa - in fact have already.!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"This was a trip of a lifetime!

Lindsey Marris was excellent every detail was taken care of and expertly planned!

My hour long conversation with Aurthor, Chris McIntyre was the reason I chose Expert Africa. They get very high ratings.

They listed to what we wanted and planned accordingly. Everything was first class!

Great trip I cannot say enough praises for them!!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Excellent holiday.

Met our expectations of a safari trip - plenty of animal sightings, good camps in scenic locations and everything running smoothly." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"This is my second time travelling with Expert Africa and I have recommended you to a number of friends and colleagues since my first trip in 2016 and again since returning from Namibia last week.

Everything was just wonderful and people were so welcoming. I appreciated the varied landscapes, accommodations and experiences. We had such a variety and number of animal sightings - over 800 zebra in total, for example, and a mother cheetah with four cubs (a first for me). The 11 black rhino in one evening at the Okaukuejo waterhole was an experience I will remember forever. Despite the challenging roads in places, travelling around Namibia did not feel difficult, but a privilege.

I also appreciated the detailed notes about driving times and roads to take (though a couple of our driving times didn't seem to align with the notes for some reason). It might be worth noting too that the distance given to Desert Homestead from the last turn was off by several kilometres. The road from Solitaire to Walvis Bay was quite challenging; I wonder if it might be worth noting this in the notes for future travellers?

We would be happy to share details of two places we had a great lunch that don't appear in the Bradt guide (in Uis and Otjiwarongo) if it's helpful to add there or to the notes for future travellers. Cactus and Coffee in Uis and Bohemia Cafe in Otjiwarongo.

Thank you for another fantastic trip!
