"Namibia/ Botswana Trip"
I visited Namibia and 3 other countries between 18 Sep 2013 and 10 Oct 2013
"Our itinerary was so well thought out. Driving times in the Self -Drive part were manageable. Definitely a key point. The folder with notes for travellers was priceless. It really contributed to the success of our excellent holiday. It was most appreciated to have all the bases covered in such exacting detail.
Maruska really helped walk us through the initial planning stages, pointing out practicalities in her most diplomatic way. Her suggestions always held true, yet she listened to our ideas as well. She showed great patience and carefully dealt with our concerns. Her knowledge and expertise enabled us to experience a great adventure.
It was truly a unique experience. We were so very fortunate to have had Maruska as our contact.

At this time, I can't think of any way our experience could be improved upon." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"My 2013 trip- as wonderful as the previous 5"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2013 and 10 Aug 2013
"Where do I start? As usual Botswana was amazing. The scenery, the wildlife, the excellent Wilderness Safaris camps all as good as ever.
As usual Expert Africa ensured that everything ran like clockwork. All just as we have come to expect on our repeated visits to this area.

I cannot think of any way it could be improved.
Expert Africa staff could not be more responsive, helpful and generally good to deal with." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"My May 2013 trip"
I visited Botswana between 23 May 2013 and 30 May 2013
"This was an absolutely fantastic trip - a holiday experience of a lifetime.
I was so close to giving up on the idea of a safari as I couldn't summon up the courage to fly in a light aircraft and camp in a dome tent with wild animals so close by on the other side. Then thankfully, Expert Africa came up with the idea of travelling overland from Maun to Xakanaxa and staying in a lodge and then going on to Little Kwara by boat.
The service from Expert Africa has been absolutely first class (I almost never have cause to give such high praise for service and it is not given out lightly). I raised many questions before having the courage to book this holiday and all were answered honestly, very promptly and without impatience. The almost 24 hour service was useful for me as I live in Australia. I only wish I could experience this level of service more often in my life, I know this sounds like an ad, but credit where credit is due.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Regarding the quotation: It did seem very expensive but we normally travel on a budget and I normally get several quotes before making a booking. On this occasion I didn't. It was also more difficult to compare prices because we paid in sterling and we live in in Australia and normally use AUD.
I have also dealt with Gwynneth and Megan and give them the same high rating as Maruska. The excellent communication between the London and New Zealand offices was seamless." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"My March April 2013 Africa Trip"
I visited Botswana between 31 Mar 2013 and 7 Apr 2013
"Although I was nervous about the trip, it was perfect. Each place we stayed was different and offered us different viewing perspectives.
Saskia was patient about answering all my questions and responding to all my concerns. She really worked hard to understand what we were hoping for and to give us a variety of reasonable options from which to choose. Her advice and guidance turned out to be perfect. The trip was everything I hoped for and more." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"My Mar 2013 trip"
I visited Botswana between 25 Mar 2013 and 6 Apr 2013
"We loved it.
The first couple of flights we were muttering about being told not to have wheeled luggage and luggage sizes as others were obviously ignoring this but then we got to the really small planes from Baines onwards and the need for small bags became obvious. However, we had also been told facilities to charge cameras would be limited and there were no problems in charging batteries between game drives so perhaps this advice could be amended.
Megan was very informative about availability in Botswana and we would recommend ExpertAfrica to our friends.
