Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Overall excellent time." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"The trip as a whole was excellent.

Tracy gave us a very good idea of what to expect and there were no surprises. It was very easy to drive round and the 'notes for travellers', accommodation vouchers and maps made for a hassle-free trip. It seemed everything had been thought of.

Tracy's recommendations of where to stay and what to see and do were spot on and just right for us. (For example we were very pleased we were on half board basis at most of the places so we were independent and able to our own thing. Had we been fba at most places, we'd have felt obliged to do trips and activities that often we were much happier doing ourselves.)" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"We enjoyed the whole experience immensely and would be pleased to return to Tanzania again in the future. As well as travel with Expert Africa.

Ellie was very knowledgable and I appreciate the hour she spent on the phone with me to go through what I wanted and explain her experiences. That was definitely a swaying factor in booking the holiday with Expert Africa." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall our holiday was amazing. The main issues were with various sectors booked through Expert Africa. Everything I confirmed myself went without a hitch.

I would certainly visit Namibia & Botswana again, they are both the most amazing places I have ever visited - however, to be brutally honest I am unsure whether I would use Expert Africa. Sorry !

Gwynneth was great - although we did have some, what I would call, major problems - particularly the error re booking Okaukuejo. Fortunately, we were still able to have the 2 nights we wanted, albeit on different dates. The upgrade to Villa Mushara was an utter disappointment and I shed several tears whilst there. The ventilation in particular was non existant - and for such a luxurious villa and the money guests would pay, this was unaceptable. Service fell short of the other lodges too - even the 'canteen' style restaurant at Okaukuejo would score higher for me personally.

Gwynneth's name does not appear in the list - however, Maruska did privide the original quotes." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 3 on a Namibia trip

"this has to be about my best holiday experience ever, and I have been travelling the world for 25 years.

From the first call to EA I felt in "expert" hands. I will definitely use you again and recommend EA to friends. I am already planning the next trip! Oh, and I found your advisory leaflet really usefull too." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"fantastic!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip

"A fantastic time was had, good game viewing, everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming, all went extremely smoothly, and was therefore very relaxing.

Special thanks to Heather and Bryan at Tafika, Rachel at Bilimungwe, and Anna Devereux ar Expert Africa who did a fantastic job of organising the trip at very short notice." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Our whole trip was excellent, very well organised.

We did not have any problem at any camp or with the services we had contracted and our experience in Botswana was again wonderful . The camps, the people, the wildlife and the landscape where overall VERY VERY GOOD." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"This holiday is with out doubt the best holiday either myself or Ross have ever been on. It ticked all of the boxes of things we wanted for our Honeymoon.

Neither of us had been on Safari before and it was such a fantastic experience. We felt well looked after at all of the camps and loved Zambia. The mix of camps and activities was perfect allowing us the right mix of adventure and relaxing." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"We had our problems on this holiday, we lost a day due to confusion over our flight home and the lack of walking opportunities was a disappointment.The tetses and the bug in the ear also did not help. However the trip was immensely interesting and ultimately very enjoyable. We are pretty experienced travellers in Africa and not easily phased but I am not sure some clients might not have found some of our issues a little daunting. An interesting observation by a fellow traveller at Chongwe that his stay there had made his trip was a view we strongly supported." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
