Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Originally I had another plan for my trip this season, however there were some difficulties with logistics. So after talking with Claire on Skype, I finally chose Serengeti and I believe I made a right decision. Thank you Claire for your advice and arrangement.

I have been to Serengeti many times but I stayed at Asilia's camps for the first time. I was really surprised at Asilia's hospitality.
On arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport from Doha, I was treated as a VIP. I was escorted to the VIP lounge, was offered drinks and snacks, cleared immigration in the special room there......really special treatments.

I usually choose small camps with rustic feel. Asilia's camps I stayed were more luxurious than I had expected, but that's not so bad.

I enjoyed staying luxury camps, watching animals....expecially migration and many cats.
I had a wonderful safari again.

"A few minor issues, but generally the most amazing experience" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"This was our fifth trip with EA and we started to plan our sixth one immediately. That probably says a lot.

Though this is not a budget company, in our experience there is no such thing as a cheap Africa trip. At least not if you expect tailor made quality, which is exactly what EA delivers.

Very well informed and in possession of local knowledge and experience. Communication is quick and honest. Unexpected situations are dealt with professionaly.

This makes for a complete package when you're looking for a quality trip to Southern Africa.

I'd very much like an even wider range of countries in your portfolio." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Malawi trip

"Another fantastic experience. Everything went so smoothly including the transitions. Because everything is so well organized one can relax and enjoy the experience and adventure much more.

Our agent Claire knows what we are after and did (another) brilliant job of not only meeting but surpassing our expectations.

We would return to Hwange Bush Camp tomorrow if we could!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zimbabwe safari

"We love Botswana and a good part of that is Expert Africa.

The service and attention to detail is outstanding and really lends to the enjoyment of the trip . We will always use them for our trips to Southern Africa ( this was our fourth trip with them). They truly are expert in the area. Also Tracy Lederer is a great friend and guide for us, making it easy and super fun." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"The Expert Africa staff were excellent. From beginning to end, we always had staff directing us to where we had to go including getting us across the Botswana Zimbabwe border. Everyone was on time and professional. We felt completely cared for. I would highly recommend using Expert Africa and when I decide to take my next safari, I will be using them again!"

"From first contact with Expert Africa, this had the feeling of being a special trip - and our experience was exactly that.

The suggested itinerary, prepared by Tracy after discussing with her only what we vaguely wanted, was spot on; the standard of the accommodation was beyond our expectation; and the quality of the detailed information pack, guidebook, map etc was the best we've ever had (and we've travelled extensively so have lots of benchmarks).

No question was too silly, even those we had on the day before we left about a particular route we were thinking of taking, and Tracy clearly had detailed, expert knowledge and insight of Namibia which was both reassuring and inspiring.

Our overall experience was way beyond anything we've ever had before and, based on this, we will use Expert Africa every time now. and would recommend them without hesitation to others.

Keep doing what you're doing - it's best in class!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip

As far as we are concerned it was good from the initial call to enquire to the final departure flight." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"This is the 2nd time we have used Expert Africa to organise a holiday in Namibia. As on the first occasion, they suggested the itinerary and arranged car-hire and accommodation.
It all went very smoothly and was generally very enjoyable.
I feel that all required information and documentation was provided, in good time. Chris's book is excellent.
Because nothing went wrong I can't comment on your problem resolution.
It was useful to to have wilderness safaris available at the airport." Read full review: 30 nights in Africa; 30 on a Namibia trip
