"Costs?"
I wish I could of discussed more options of costs. Seems as though there is some kind of confidentiality of lodging costs that prohibits better financial planning of a trip." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"My Aug 2017 trip"
Thank you to Tracy Lederer for her advice and organisation - everything ran very smoothly and exceeded our expectations." Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
"My Jul 2017 trip"
The meet and greet Wilderness Safari team at Windhoek airport were very helpful, efficient and patient, and we appreciated their little lounge to use while waiting.
We did have a truly great memorable trip with too many highlights to single any out. Felt totally safe. The people are charming and the ethos about tourism is impressive.

Cant comment on the brochure as dont think I ever saw one. Found the feedback form a bit tedious to fill in so hope it is helpful.
But we did have a really great trip and have been recommending Expert Africa to anyone interested in travel to Africa from New Zealand" Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 14 on a Namibia trip

"Holiday of a lifetime "

"Excellent trip with rewarding sights"
First time in Botswana great time on the Chobe river viewing elephants crossing , and the birds. Spoilt with the number of lions with kills, and the first cubs I had seen albeit bit hidden in the trees.
Zambia provided a fitting finale something completely different, namely Victoria Falls, seen from the air and on foot, fantastic noise of the the water roaring.
The challenge is how to beat this trip?" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
"We will be back..."
The split of a remote botswana camp, the slighly more civilised chobe lodge and a few days in cape town to top it all off really couldn't have been any better.
Also top marks to Expert Africa for the documentation they provided.
Everything went as planned and even those bits that we usually fret over (the pickups and transfers) went out perfectly.
Hats off from us.

Can't really fault anything with our trip -- from the initial consultation (lots of advice before we had decided to go with you guys) to the choice of camps and assistance with our baggage, everything was spot on.
Also thanks for the guide book and the document wallet, small things but both very very helpful to us as we prepared for the trip..." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
"My May 2017 trip"
"A wonderful safari"
We would certainly recommend anyone who is prepared to accept the relatively basic facilities of a mobile camp to spend some time with Andrew Harkness who was a relaxed, informative and very knowledgeable guide. We felt that nothing that could have been seen was missed.
The bush walk with Scoupe at Tau Pan was the highlight of our stay there.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The out of hours service was excellent when we ran into trouble with our flight from London on the outward journey as it was delayed by three hours putting our connection in Johannesburg at risk. As it happened we made it with seconds to spare. Nevertheless it was very reassuring to be able to speak to someone late at night even though we had made the booking ourselves."

Camp Kuzuma

Savute Elephant Lodge
Savute Elephant Lodge is a luxurious camp on the banks of the now flowing Savuti Channel. This is a classic big-game area, although its location within Chobe National Park does limit the activities which are possible here.
Elephant Valley Lodge
Elephant Valley Lodge is a lovely camp in a beautiful setting – sit in its hide and watch the wildlife come to drink at the waterhole. Activities focus on boating and drives in Chobe which - although very busy, and a long drive from the lodge – is very rich in wildlife.
