"Our Dec 17 Safari"
"Best trip ever"
"My Nov 2017 trip"
November seems to be great value we missed heavy rains (One torrential downpour on each trip) and saw most animals at nearly every camp. We met some great people both staff and guests that we will always remember fondly.
Our "once in a lifetime" trip turned into "Twice in a lifetime" and who knows................
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We chose in advance to deal with Megan as she was very helpful when we researched our first trip in 2014. We ultimately used a different company but remembered Megans advice and suggestions. Pricing was very close this time around although one thing that hurts us is the surcharge on credit cards. We're not used to that in North America. Expert Africa was higher priced by almost exactly the 2% but we really did want to deal with Megan and were very happy with both her patience as we made decisions and the overall package she helped us put together. We are already recommending Megan to friends." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Botswana safari
"Our Nov 1st trip"
"We saw almost everything!"
We saw many birds for the first time , and many we have seen before very close-up (e.g. pearl-spotted owlet 6' away)
We slept out under the stars (and the stars in the Kalahari are awesome).
Every trip brings new things to see and learn. We are very happy to have these moments to remember." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"My 2017 October safari"
In retrospect, I would have not spent four nights at Machaba (or any probably), but as I spent a day there sick I'm glad I didn't have to fly that day as well. I was disappointed in the suggestion of Machaba, since I had specifically said I wanted to avoid the 20-cars-around-one-animal sort of safari. That only occurred around the leopards and the lions, but still... I had raised this concern specifically with Richard and he assured me that the guides would manage it, but there was no way to manage it with so many camps/lodges and individual drivers."

"Family Safari in Botswana"
Richard dealt with this issue remotely and very efficiently.
We had a great time and would recommend Expert Africa, Richard and Botswana to any potential safari go-ers.
Travelling as a family was very easy- great food, clean water easy to come by- and the animals were amazing and plentiful." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari
"My Sep 2017 trip"
After listening to my interests, she recommended camps which we felt covered good variety of environments and experiences. I think starting in Hwange and finishing in the Delta was ideal as our Hwange guide was very educational and the wildlife at Kwara particularly superb. If we ended at Hwange we would have felt 3 nights probably sufficient, though were lucky enough for my son to spot a leopard and see a pride of 14 lions in our last 24 hr.
It was also great to have all the arrangements and transportation taken care of." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari
