Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"The booking of Camps Bay was a poor recomendation for a 3 night of stay . After my several sugestions of Waterfront in Cape town we accpted the idea that it was very expensive and not much diference in acess. Wrongly and fortunately Camps Bay Retreat Management saved our stay by moving us to Waterfront Village,with superb location and rooms. This location is near shops restaurants and we allways felt safe. Please thank on my behalf Camps Bay Retreate Management" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 3 on a Botswana safari

"Our trip was incredible; a trip of a lifetime which was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon.

The trip was really well balanced between safari (6 days/2 camps) and beach (8 days) - altough we could very easily have done another 2 or 3 days safari at the end, having had a short break from it to recuperate!

The advice we were given was excellent and the trip was great!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was a pretty special trip for us - taking our three grown up sons and their other halves on safari and then onto Zanzibar. The excitement and joy everyone experienced was worth every penny we spent.

The trip was talior made to our requirements thanks to Expert Africa. Every aspect of the holiday was discussed - recommendations made - our likes and dislikes taken into account - suggestions adjusted to fit the budget set . I cannot praise them highly enough.

They could not have picked a better camp for us to stay in . We will never forget the thrill of finding a leopard and the priveldge of being able to sit quietly for over an hour observing her - following her every now and then. And then there were the lion pride with their youngsters - playing with each other and their parents - watching a male lion gently licking and nuzzling his son. All this from about five feet away.

Wild life wandered in and out of camp during the night and the sounds were magical as we lay in our huge beds in luxurious tents.
'There was nothing about the holiday that wasnt good - even being chased by an elephant we put down to experience - because we trusted our guides and rangers to help us out of danger.

we have almost 2,000 photos between us to recapture every moment and relive the experience all over again.
Zanzibar - total chill out - total removal from the reality of day to day life at home. And the snorkelling - wow!!

So thank you Expert Africa - I will definetley be recommending you to anyone who is thinking of a trip to africa.

I cant think of anything that needs to be adjusted - apart from the credit card companies charging a surcharge if you want to pay by credit card!!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We achieved everything we set out to do. 7 days of rest and idleness, followed by 7 days of researching my past ,from the age of a few months to about 4 years old., and going on Town, spice, forest and dhow tours.

The highlight was a visit to the extraordinarily well -organised Archives Office, where we were quickly able to read a full dossier on my father, who was Deputy Commissioner of Police 1926-1939, together with the record of some riots in 1936 when my father was injured.

We also identified two houses near the lawcourts, one of which must have been our home (one is now the Egyptian Consulate, and the other is a government office" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zanzibar holiday

"You can see from the above that we loved our holiday. From start to finish everything was taken care of - we packed our bags and the next we saw them they were there at our new tent! EA's advice on tipping was excellent, otherwise we never needed money!!! Food and drink was fine. Our guides Jacob, Debs and Richman were absolutely outstanding.

A hundred praises and just three moans: 1. That flight! 2. We had chosen a very hot period, a month or so earlier would have been better. 3. The tsetse were a pain. (I don't think EA could have done anything about any of the three!!!)

I wish safaris were cheaper!!! We love to go every year - Sand Rivers Selous next?
