Lots of variety and we feel as if we have been away for a long time – always the sign of a good break, I think.
We wouldn’t change anything about the trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 20 on a Kenya safari
"OurSep 2023 trip"
Great range of experiences between the 2 camps - loved both of them - and wonderful relaxation at the beach.
I should like to discuss the Wildlife Survey form and the animal sightings you put on your website. I thought looking at your website that these were the animals with some chance% of what we might see. But of course there are lots and lots of others. Also find the more detail bit on this questionairre a bit confusing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2023 trip"
We have never been anywhere in Africa before so it was very reassuring to have the expertise of Richard ensuring that everything was so organised as well as offering us great advice and answering all our questions.
Everything about this holiday was perfect and Expert Africa deserve a lot of credit for that, selecting and recommending amazing accommodation. The website is also one of the best I have ever used- clean and clear layout, easy to navigate, whilst still being very informative with detailed reviews and information.
I would without a doubt recommend Expert Africa to anyone thinking about booking a holiday to Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"My Jul 2023 trip"
Last year we had another amazing vacation, which set the bar very high. And yet, this trip once again exceeded expectations.
The safaris were full of exciting sightings, the people we met--including our fantastic guide Nickson--were warm and professional, the food was outstanding, each detail was thought through.
What a treat.

"My Jun 2023 trip"
Each of the places picked were perfect for us, none were too busy or too "touristy", we were recommended activities that we'd like to do while we were there and things to look out for, and the connections between them were flawless and without stress.
We had a wonderful time of excitement on safari and relaxation on Chale Island. Thank you so much for such an amazing holiday that we will forever cherish." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
"My Feb 2023 trip"
I did spend a lot of time doing the research and chose the accommodation and plan myself, but ExpertAfrica really pulled it together with the best competitive quote and made sure things were seamless whilst we were out there." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari
