"Aug trip 2016"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 12 Aug 2016 and 29 Aug 2016
"Trip of a lifetime managed with absolute precision by Expert Africa from start to finish. They were a pleasure to deal with and the whole trip was smooth and trouble free at every point.
There was always someone to meet us at every airport to assist us with luggage and ticketing which was unexpected but made all the travelling completely stress free. I cannot recommend this company highly enough and will definitely be using them again for our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari

"Okavango July 2016"
I visited Botswana between 21 Jul 2016 and 1 Aug 2016
"This was our first safari, so we had no idea what to expect, but simultaneously very high hopes.
Needless to say, the Okavango Delta, the camps, the game, and the people all surpassed our expectations.
We had a fantastic holiday, and will definitely be back." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Botswana safari

"Namibia, Botswana and Zambia July/Aug 2016"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 19 Jul 2016 and 14 Aug 2016
"We were away for a month on what was undoubtedly the trip of a lifetime.
We have learned so much about a part of the world unknown to us prior to this trip and it has certainly had an impact on the perspective that we now take about certain issues. We met some wonderful people, both inhabitants of the countries and fellow travellers, and the animals and birds that we encountered were magnificent.
It was humbling and impressive and I wish that everyone could be lucky enough to have such a fantastic opportunity.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
At the point of booking there were times when Tracy was clearly very busy and we had to wait for responses to our questions. Her passion for Namibia and Botswana always came through and we felt fortunate to have the benefit of this.
We had need to contact her a couple of times while we were away and her response on these occasions was extremely prompt, thorough, helpful and reassuring - we were very appreciative of her care and attention we received." Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"Have nothing to add beyond writing that Maruska was tremendous to work with. Well done!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The only suggestion would be to have people drive out the east gate of Etosha (which we did) and south through Otavi on the way to Mundulea Reserve, rather than you suggested departure through the south date of Etosha. Although more gravel road, you see more game." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

Good Points:

Sarah answered my queries swiftly despite a time difference between London and Tokyo. She also gave me appropriate options. Without her professional support, I could not make this Botswana safari tour come true. Thank you so much!
3 Flexibility and Efficiency
When I asked Chris to change my itinerary, he rearranged my trip plan perfectly in a short time. I was amazed at his flexibility and efficiency. Thanks a lot, Chris!
To be improved: Warning for Coldness Needed. I wish I were informed more thoroughly of how cold it is in July in Botswana (especially during morning safaris). I brought a light down jacket. But it was not enough. I needed a heavier one. .
As I told Chris on the phone, I am a stage-four lung cancer patient. My doctor said I would probably be able to live another six months or so. If I live longer than that, I will try our second African safari tour next year. Then I wish to travel with Expert Africa again. See you then!

Reliability was the No. 1 criterion.

"Our trip was eveything we hoped for"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 30 Jun 2016 and 21 Jul 2016
"Tracy helped us put together a wonderful trip which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Her advice was invaluable, particularly for journey lengths and camp/lodge choices. This is the second trip she has arranged for us and was as enjoyable as the first.
