"My Aug 2023 trip"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 31 Aug 2023 and 19 Sep 2023
"A trip of a lifetime. Namibia and Botswana were different but spectacular in their own ways.
I saw much more wildlife than I expected and so much of it close to. The scenery, sunrises and sunsets were glorious and I feel that I have experienced a proper African safari.
The lodges were excellent with all the facilities I could have wanted. What made the trip so special was the quality of the staff everywhere I went. They were friendly, professional and keen to show their countries at their best. They were fabulous ambassadors for Africa as a whole.
Thank you for arranging such a wonderful experience." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 12 on a Namibia trip

"My Jul 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 26 Jul 2023 and 5 Aug 2023
"Our second trip with Expert Africa and it certainly lived up to expectations.
Lucy put together a great itinerary for Victoria Falls and Boswana with a variety of (very nice) accommodations, activities and modes of transfer between destinations and camps, including a boat transfer. The trip went very well, was totally absorbing, and we were delighted with our wildlife sightings, especially the wild dogs!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"My Jul 2023 trip to Botswana"
I visited Botswana between 22 Jul 2023 and 31 Jul 2023
"Outstanding safari very close to nature.
Expert Africa gave great advice choosing the right camps and guides fitting to our aspirations. Good combination of 2 camps with different wildlife and highly engaged and competent guides.
Logistics worked very well.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Great support and advice - as expected for a premium safari agent. Considered by us (and many friends) the very best safari agent." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"Our amazing Jul 2023 trip"
I visited Botswana between 14 Jul 2023 and 23 Jul 2023
"Our trip was amazing; definitely the trip of a lifetime!
Everything went really smoothly and it was great knowing that Expert Africa had taken care of all the details along the way. We had more information about the camps (since as cell phone service, tipping policies, etc) than a lot of other guests we talked to who had used other travel agents, and it was great going in with so much stuff information.
See our comments for each camp for more details on our fantastic experience!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari
