Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"We had an absolutely amazing time in Namibia, and it was well worth the wait after two years of COVID cancellations.

Sabina was excellent in rearranging our accommodation three times and it was lovely to actually meet her in Windhoek.

We are already thinking about a return journey where we'd like to take in Caprivi & Victoria Falls..." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 18 on a Namibia trip

"Schedule was great.

We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at each venue, and felt that the set up was very much to our liking.

Would do it again in a minute!

"We worked out while we were away that this was our 25th safari. It was by far our best and Kenya has become our new favourite safari destination.

The people are so welcoming, polite and friendly. The camps were all very well run with excellent food and facilities. The internal flights were well organised and efficient, albeit with lots of stops!

As we do quite a lot of self-guided, self-drive safaris, it was nice to go to camps with an emphasis on photography, so that they would position the vehicle as we would if we were driving and in a few instances, suggest angles that we hadn't thought of."

"We waited a long time to do this trip and it turned out to be very nearly as good as we hoped.

As in life in general, there were ups and downs - Bumi Hills was a massive surprise in a good way and Nyamatusi/ Mana Pools was a disappointment.

Overall we enjoyed it hugely and it was really nice to be back in Africa again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"It was the best. All the different things we saw and did, my absolute favourite type of holiday.

Thank you for making it so easy for us.

Just wish we could do it every year!

"Our trip was excellent, the camps were all wonderful , wildlife plentiful and we had great viewings with help from our super guides.

All the arrangements worked seamlessly, couldn’t have been better, just perfect, we loved every minute." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"One of the best trips we have had worldwide, and especially in Southern Africa.

Delightfully quirky Roy's rest camp to simply luxurious Onguma, Nambwa and Chobe Chilwero.

There was only one camp, Shametu River Lodge, that was a real disappointment.

All the connections and pickups worked very well. The meet and greet at Windhoek by your agent was especially welcome after a couple of flights.

Marushka, your representative, couldn't have been more helpful as she listened to our ideas before curating and then amending her suggested itinerary. Constant follow-ups were reassuring.

We cannot see how either you, her or we could have improved our trip with Expert Africa .. sorry.." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"This safari was planned and booked in, I think, 2019. Like the rest of the world, we had to postpone it twice due to Covid. It was worth the wait. I especially loved Ruaha and Nyerere because they don't seem to attract as many tourists as the migration area. But, having said that, seeing the migration is mind blowing.

On our last day, the camp manager was telling us all about Asilia and their environmental policies. I am really impressed with this company and would not hesitate to recommend them and will definitely stay at their properties in the future. I hope they will consider expanding into Southern Africa...

I love Expert Africa! I will continue to use you whenever I travel to Africa.

I have had nothing but positive experiences with your company." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"A superb safari holiday experience.

We chose 4 mutually complementary but contrasting locations in the Okavango, Savuti and Chobe areas with the helpful suggestions from Lucy (our agent) and each camp certainly met our expectations both in terms of the accommodation/ food and the wildlife observations.

We were privileged to witness some exciting game episodes comparable or exceeding what we have previously experienced in eastern and southern Africa. The absolute highlight of the trip was the private mobile camp in Savuti which with Andrew Harkness provided a thrilling and memorable experience.

Once again, Expert Africa has been excellent in providing knowledgeable suggestions for the trip during our planning and efficiently booking our whole safari experience. Many thanks." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"Our best safari so far and we will quite possibly use Expert Africa again.

We have always planned our own trips in the past to SA, Namibia and Botswana (self drive) but found we needed help with Zambia which you provided amply. This was booked in Feb 2020 and was delayed by 12 months twice due covid so I was particularly pleased when it actually happened." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
