Africa: Reviews from our travellers

"Tom organised all aspects of our trip and he put together a wonderful itinerary balancing seeing the landscapes of Namibia with the wildlife viewing as we wanted.

He suggested a series of memorably good lodges and camps with sensible more basic options for when we simply needed a comfortable guesthouse for a night rather than luxury lodge. He discussed and booked a series of excellent activities for us and we kept in contact throughout the period up to the trip.

To demonstrate the great level of service. We managed to leave an ipad at Damaraland Camp and between the wonderful camp staff and Tom and his colleague Tracey's efforts and ingenuity they managed to organise its return to us back in London - this was definitely above and beyond!.

All in all it was a wonderful holiday, faultlessly organised and we would very highly recommend Expert Africa." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 13 on a Namibia trip

"Apart from my disappointments about Safarihoek this was another fantastic trip to this magical country.

As ever Expert Africa went above and beyond.

Anderssons was the highlight but other lodges were great too.

"It was a fabulous return trip to Zambia!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Fantastic, delivered above what I was expecting!

When booking, I asked for quiet camps where we would not be overrun by other people when game viewing and this is what we got.

We stayed at 2 Kicheche camps, the first at Laikipia and then at Mara North.

Both camps had wonderful game viewing which was slightly different and excellent guides. For our first safari we saw much more than we ever hoped for, lion kills, lions with cubs, hyena stealing part of a lion kill, a cheetah kill, leopards mating, elephants wallowing in a mud bath and the last 2 Northern White Rhinos. These were the highlights but we also saw so much more.

We ended our stay by relaxing at Kinondo Kwetu which had a golden sand beach, lovely large swimming pool and excellent fish suppers." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"We would absolutely recommend Expert Africa to anyone. From our first call to our last it was excellent service.

We were placed with Jessica Plumb based on the area we desired to travel. She guided us with care and precision answering any and all questions we had. The attention to detailed planning was felt throughout the trip! We could not have asked for anything more!

The Nomad team was top notch. You can tell by talking to them they are a wonderful company with little turnover. They are a family and value their guest. The accommodations, although all different were excellent and the service was first class. The food was AMAZING. We really had no idea what to expect but it was delicious. The guides take ownership in making sure their guest see everything they possibly can. Wifi was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated to communicate briefly with those back home. Without a doubt we will assist in talking to anyone about our trip and the excellent service we received!

It's hard to say what was our favorite because we loved each and every minute! We have said again and again we could not have been treated any better any where else! We hope to return and WILL use Expert Africa.

Feel free to use any of our quotes!

"I always recommend your company to others and did so again on this trip!

Lucy was so helpful as health challenges kept cropping up prior to departure. She was reassuring and helpful with dealing with a cancellation of my other traveler. She encouraged me to travel solo and I am so grateful she did, as it was an amazing trip.

I would also like to thank her for having people on the ground meeting me in Lusaka and Jburg to navigate airports when there were tight connections, and transfer to hotel in Lusaka.

None. I loved the trip and Lucy was terrific!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Another excellent trip organised by Jessica Plumb and ExpertAfrica.

We have used ExpertAfrica for many trips to Africa and each has been very good. The company understands the types of accommodation and activities we enjoy so can recommend the best camps for us. They delivered again this time. Communication was good and recommendations spot on.

The camp managers all commented on how much they value their relationships with Expert Africa.

One of the managers noted "they have chosen their name well - they are Experts".
