"A special holiday"
"A good two location safari"
"Another unforgettable trip to Botswana"
We visited different landscapes an environments, saw so many and different species including 3 times wild dogs, 11 different(!) leopards, lions, many and even rare antelopes, probably thousand elephants and finally a pangolin (not to forget about 120 different bird species in total !!!)
We met again so many friendly and helpful people and were happy to join celebrations of Day of Independence.
We will come back to Africa! This trip was our third one with Expert Africa and again everything worked perfect!
Many thanks to wonderful Megan who was so helpful in planing this trip with us and never got tired to answer all our (many!) questions.
Her organisation was perfect and we definitely will plan our next trip to Africa with this very special and knowledgeable agency again!
Thanks again and all the very best to all of you!!!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2015 trip"
We found it reassuring to have the knowledge and expertise of Expert Africa's staff behind us, to guide us through a part of the world of which we had little previous experience. The choice of lodges was perfect, and every arrangement that had been made for us went without a hitch. We were particularly grateful for the huge contributions made by Maruska, in the initial planning of the trip, and Tracy, who took over when we were forced to postpone our trip by 12 months, following a family bereavement.
We would not hesitate to use Expert Africa again in the future, nor to recommend them to friends and family." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
"My Sep 2015 trip"
There were no blips with the organization and all that was expected to happen, happened, and we had no fault to find with it. Any adverse comments in the previous pages [Ed: the individual lodge reviews] are very, very minor ones, but you did ask!
All in all we'd go with Expert Africa again without any doubt." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2015 trip"
I would make a mention of the young lady, Wilderness Safaris, at Windhoek Airport how was most helpful, in fact anything to to do with Wilderness Safaris was excellent.
A trip to remember, thank you" Read full review: 25 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip
"Wonderful African Safari"
"Trip of a lifetime (so far!)"
We first contacted you with a rough itinerary, which was much improved by Tracy's many suggestions and her acceptance that I was trying to keep costs down for the bulk of the trip. You booked us into 15 different places to stay and all were very acceptable, with most good/excellent." Read full review: 36 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip
"Our Botswana safari"
From start to finish, everything ran perfectly - it was an exciting, most memorable holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"Return to Africa"
One point of ambiguity arose in that our package stated "local beverages at each establishment(water, beers, ciders, juice, soft drinks, house wines and local spirits)" were included. However, it was not until our arrival at Andersson's Camp that this was clarified and agreed with Ultimate Safaris after we had been purchasing our own drinks for four nights."

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.
