An extremely minor point, which is that, contrary to the info in our pre-holiday briefing pack, Zambian Immigration does now accept payment for the Visa in GBP (£35) as well as USD. And they seem quite happy to accept $50 bills, so there is no need to go running round trying to get USD in small denominations for this.
One other thing, if visiting Victoria Falls at this time of year(late October) we would recommend visiting the Zimbabwe side for a better experience, as there was very little water going over the Zambian part, which reduces the spectacle a little."

"Truly memorable"
The logistics worked very well as did the advice on what to expect. We would come back for advice on future African trips." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"My Oct 2014 trip"
The advice given to us regarding the choice of country and the compilation of the trip by Nick was first class and the organisation of every element was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to anyone considering a wildlife safari in Africa.

Just keep-up the good work" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2014 trip"
"A wonderful trip"
It can not have been easy for Chloe to coordinate this trip for us as I was in France and the UK and my travel companion was in the USA.
Expert Africa - and Chloe - were very helpful in sorting it all out for us and helped us make good choices. Thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"My trip"
"Botswana & Victoria Falls September 2014"
We knew that visiting 4 safari lodges in an 8 day period would be hectic, and so it proved to be. However, although Chitabe Lediba and Kwando Lagoon were our clear favourites, both Savute Safari Lodge and Little Kwara had unique features that we are really pleased were included in our itinerary.
We were exhilarated and exhausted in equal measures after 8 days of safari, so to be able to finish off the trip with a (relatively) relaxed 2 days at Tongabezi was an absolute delight. We are so thankful that Tracy encouraged us to stay there rather than at a hotel in Livingstone.
All of the transfers worked seamlessly, and we were particularly impressed by the coordination between Mack Air and the lodges to ensure that we never missed out on our game drives. The transfer between Botswana and Zambia was also very well managed." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
