"My Jul 2015 trip"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 27 Jul 2015 and 19 Aug 2015
"Expert Africa were amazing. They spend a lot of time with me shaping the trip and advising me of the accommodation options. I found their recommendations spot on and the accommodation they booked was superb with a very individual and varied feel. The majority of the accommodation had a very personalised feel.
Sabina is worthy of particular mention, as she really knew Namibia well and so was able to give accurate and re-assuring advice. She was always courteous and nothing was too much trouble. Expert Africa give superb attention to detail and provide lots of useful information before the trip, which ensures the trip goes smoothly. Any issues, which were limited during or after the trip were dealt with very quickly and efficiently.
I would recommend Expert Africa without reservation.
The website is also very helpful when researching your trip." Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"I Loved My Trip to Africa"
I visited Botswana and 2 other countries between 3 Jul 2015 and 14 Jul 2015
"This was a real African adventure. The accommodation was excellent, the camps were all well run and respected the animals and kept the travellers safe. The transfers were very well co-ordinated and amidst the backdrop of the chaos of Africa everything ran really smoothly.
We saw 3 of the "Big 5" which was a little disappointing but I guess that just gives us an excuse to come back to see the rhino and leopards. There was also quite a bit of overlap between the game activities offered by the Zambezi Queen and the Muchenje camp.
I was very happy with my trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I was very happy with my trip and the way it was organised. Lucy was delightful to deal with and was always very helpful." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"Wonderful Holiday"
I visited Zambia and 4 other countries between 9 Jun 2015 and 18 Jul 2015
"Our safari to eastern and southern Africa was absolutely stunning.
My family has an active, adventurous spirit, which Claire Scott (Expert Africa) picked up on right away as we discussed options nearly nine months prior. Accordingly, Claire recommended camps that met our desires and expectations. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Expert Africa and how efficiently our holiday played out. Complex logistics were well planned and execution was seamless. Well done!" Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"June 2015"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 7 Jun 2015 and 13 Jun 2015
"Each stop along the way was on its own exceptional. The Zambezi Sun and Victoria Falls were breathtaking unbelievable.
Have to get wet in the Smoke that Thunders.
Susuwe Island Lodge, peacefully exhilarating. Game drives on the water, and on land were exceptional. Guide was terrific.
CHobe Chilwero was a diamond. Facilities, food and staff were unbelievable. The animal interaction was the best! Tracked a Lion pride of 12 lion for almost 2 hours, up close and personal." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 2 on a Namibia trip

"Great visit to Botswana"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 2 May 2015 and 17 May 2015
"This was a great trip, with many good points and highlights.
We loved the Kalahari - the size, space, remoteness and sense of peace, and were very impressed at the amount game there - big herds of springbok and oryx. The Delta was special - the sense of peace, and the colours. The game was great - big herds of elephant, plus giraffe, Kudu, Oryx, Impala. We got very lucky and saw 4 adult leopard and 3 cubs over the course of the trip, plus lion hunting buffalo (unsuccessfully!).
The people are delightful - warm, relaxed and friendly, and of course the quality of guiding is very good." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

"Our May 2015 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 1 May 2015 and 19 May 2015
"The trip exceeded all our expectations, being both memorable and enjoyable.
What was particularly impressive was the seamless way in which the different components of the trip were linked together, whether by light aircraft or ground transfers between and across borders. This clearly reflects the high quality and efficiency of all involved in the administration of our trip.
Particular credit must be given to Tracy, whose personal interest and sound advice added considerably to our holiday experience." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
