"My Aug 2024 trip"
"Our Aug 2024 trip - Panhandle, Moremi, Savuti and "
Lucy was extremely helpful in putting together this itinerary. She helpfully guided us away from a “single species” safari and that led us to consider her suggestion of the Private Mobile Safaris which we enjoyed so much that we are already planning another safari with him. We organised our own flights to and from the UK and Lucy very kindly and unprompted arranged for a meet and greet at Johannesburg airport which was extremely useful in speeding us on our journey.
Lucy was good at humouring us with our preference for land transfers and these were very successful and enjoyable (albeit sometimes in a bone shaking way). We saw parts of Chobe that we wouldn’t otherwise see, saw species we otherwise might not have seen, and we gained an appreciation for the size of the park.
She also dealt well with our special requests and liaising with Andrew.
Altogether, it was an exhilarating safari and one that we probably would not have been able to design without the help of Lucy and Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"June 2024 Botswana"
From the moment we landed at the Maun airport until the moment we returned there, someone was always watching out for us. When one member of our party became ill, the camp contacted Maruska. With Expert Africa on our side, we knew we were in good hands. Fortunately, he recovered quickly, but it was worth every penny to know Expert Africa would have taken care of us if things had gone differently.
Meanwhile, the Botswana safari was everything we hoped for and more. Despite everything going on in the wilderness, because there are not many people, there is a serenity to the experience -- a pace of taking what comes next, of being immersed in the balance of nature's day-to-day existence. We awoke to lions roaring, watched a mother leopard supervise her cub, followed wild dogs on a hunt, shared a watering hole with herd after herd of elephants, and so much more. But it's the overall experience that has stayed with me the most -- just the being there, a visitor is another world.
Thank you to Expert Africa and Maruska for an incredible trip!
I've already recommended Expert Africa and Maruska to two friends! Thank you so much for everything." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
