"One of the best holidays ever"
From the first enquiry to Expert Africa, Maruska was most helpful and efficient, modifying and adjusting the itinerary to meet our requirements." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"Zambia Botswana Namibia 2008"
One suggestion: we noticed that several people doing similar trips had been provided with a spiral bound booklet with more information about the itinerary, details about each camp, with photographs and maps. We would have appreciated something similar, which would not be expensive to produce and would have been a very nice touch. Given the cost of the trip, the excellence of your service and the quality of the camps and transfers this would be an appropriate part of the package you offer."

"The hot and the cold"
The disappointment however was totally negated by the great time we had with Grant.
Bearing in mind that this whole trip was put together about five weeks before we went - everything ran like clockwork - how unusual for Africa !" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari
"Hard core game viewing and excellent service!"
It is hard to get used to being a regular person again after all the pampering and I must have put on 5 kilos from all the good food at the camps." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
"Overall trip feedback"
"The privilege of being in the Okavango Delta"
That we were able to be in this incredible environment , seeing so many wonderful animals and birds , whilst also staying in very beautiful and comfortable camps was almost surreal! The Botswanans could teach the rest of the world a great deal in how to provide hospitality and to live life wth dignity and joy....every single Botswana we came into contact with was a credit to their country and the teams in the camps were uniformly delightful and excellent .
The only risk factor in going here of course , is that you take pot luck with the other tourists!! ...we were pretty lucky in that too though we heard a few stories from the guides that showed that sometimes , just sometimes , tourists with lots of money canfail dismally to be a credit to their country!
We would recommend going to Botswana very highly indeed and to do so with Expert Africa and Wilderness Safaris .It is an experience that we can say without exaggeration has the power to be lifechanging" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"Time of My Life"
Great job, I will totally recommend Expert Africa. We met two other couples that used Expert Africa on our trip." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
"Botswana 2008"
The holiday was excellent, the mobile safari was tops for us.
Comparing this trip with our Tanzania one, we prefer being able to travel by land more and experiencing more of the real country as well as the wild life." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"Fantastic Trip - Can't Wait to Return!"
Susannah was brilliant. She showed incredible patience and helpfulness despite the fact we extended our trip twice and wanted to change flights very late in the day.
Suggestions for improvement:
Continue doing what you! We have always found the whole team at Expert Africa to be very helpful and knowledgeable." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari
"Best Holiday Ever"
Our only problem now is how to follow this. It was a holiday of a lifetime and we are already trying to work out how to go back and challenge Expert Africa to find something better but we don't think they will." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
