Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Our second trip to Namibia that was arranged by Expert Africa. As before, this was an excellent trip. Our request were accommodated by Tom, and his suggestions for places to stay were excellent.

This trip in addition to Etosha we went along Caprivi Strip with gave us a different set of birds and mammals from our previous trip - the change in habitat was well worth it. The roads along Caprivi were much improved from guide books and many of the pot holed sections had been (or were being) resurfaced. This made travel even easier.

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip, relaxed in the knowledge that everything was arranged and would work - thank so much all at Expert Africa and in Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"Our trip involved a lot of travelling with complicated logistics and pick-ups/transfers etc and without exception it was all excellent. Extremely well organised.

All flights in small planes were great and lodges in Botswana and Namibia were small, clean, comfortable with extremely friendly staff.

Great 2-weeks! Thanks Expert Africa for organising!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip

"While a return trip anywhere provides lofty expectations to meet the fond memories of previous journeys, our second adventure to Kenya under Richard's experienced guidance through Expert Africa not only satisfied these expectations, but exceeded them.

Our accommodations in the conservancies balanced comfort with an authenticity you would expect from being in the heart of the Maasai Mara wilderness. Food and beverages were wonderful and catered to every dietary requirement. The wildlife sightings were abundant and we enjoyed all manner of behavior… the majestic presence of elephants, the playful whimsy of lion cubs, the drama of a leopard protecting its kill… and countless times the camera was put aside in favor of the cell phone for photography, as the animals were too close for the zoom lens!

Bottom line, whether you choose to go with family, friends, your partner... or alone... you must simply go! Your only disappointment will be the realization that your time in Kenya has come to an end...

No further suggestions! Richard was a proactive and enthusiastic member of this team, and his continued correspondence and quick replies to any queries provided continued reassurances throughout this process.

Thank you, Richard!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari

"First safari and it exceeded my expectations!

Loved the contrast between the three camps in terms of terrain, wildlife and very impressed with conservation initiatives. We could watch the animals while respecting their natural environment.

Absolute magic!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"Animals seen in Etosha great.

Wine tasting at Rustenberg very good.

Good trip to Boulders beach for penguins and sun birds.

Good views from Table Mountain, allow a few days as low cloud plus wind can prevent a visit." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"My trip lived up to my very high expectations, particularly in terms of the stunning and varied desert landscapes. The wildlife I saw in Etosha and elsewhere was a nice bonus.

I wanted to acknowledge the excellent service provided by Tracy and any other team members behind the scenes. Our first long conversation brainstorming and setting up a rough trip structure set the tone for our collaborative partnership in planning the trip over the following 6-8 months. Tracy has a wealth of knowledge about Namibia and was a joy to work with. She went above the call of duty a couple times just before and during my trip with a couple of issues that came up.

Thank you very much for all your help and advice, and I can't wait until the next time we can plan another African trip together." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 11 on a Namibia trip
