Nope, excellent service, thank you!

Have already recommend Expert Africa, and Jessica specifically, to family who are thinking about a safari trip." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"I planned my trip two years ago, then COVID struck and I needed to defer.

I was returning to one camp, Namiri, now a lodge - all other destinations were new. The standard of guiding was excellent and I was thrilled by the number and quality of animal sightings. Spending time on Mnemba Island was a perfect and relaxing interlude before ending in Stone Town. Overall, the experience was remarkable, wonderful.

Some of the airstrip transfers were a tad chaotic, but my luggage and I arrived as planned on each occasion. The meet and greet at Kilimanjaro was great and made for a totally stress free experience.

Thank you Expert Africa, and Lyndsey, in particular." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Great trip.

But we should have just stayed in one Northern Serengeti camp as the two were so close. Ideally Sayara for 4-5 night, but with different staff. All guides were great." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"Great organisation by you guys. Hotel, transfers and camps all great. Appreciated that conservancies and camp staffing seemed to be ethical and not exploitative.
Bit of a nightmare journey home with KLM but that was nothing to do with you!
The handling of the unavoidable 2 year delay was well done by Expert Africa.
We had great personal treatment - most of the time it was just the 2 of us in the 4x4s - terrific for us, not so great for them. Hope for full recovery of tourism!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"From initial organisation to actual experience it was a fantastic holiday from start to end." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This was my 10th safari with Expert Africa and this one was just as good as all of the others.

It was an excellent way for three generations of our family to have an enjoyable holiday together." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"We have visited places for treks before such as Ireland and Canada. Africa, on the other hand, is a different experience entirely and one that we will recommend to all friends and family for years to come. We will definitely return and were very sad to leave!

Thank you so much Lyndsey, you hit the nail on the head with this one.

Lyndsey listened to every small request we had, nothing was too obscure or silly for her and she made everything work. She tailored a fantastic belated honeymoon for us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"The trip was rolled over from 2020 so hopes and expectations were high.

It certainly didn't disappoint.

Returning to Kenya was always going to be a treat. The chosen lodges were excellent with just the right amount of time in each.
The whole trip worked well.

We were so pleased to be back!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I cannot think of anything to suggest - it was a wonderful trip with great lodges and lovely people.
All beautifully managed (despite rolling it over from 2020)

I am already thinking about the next trip!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

"The holiday exceeded our expectations. It is a lot of money, but we felt we got good value and wonderful experiences. Everything worked very smoothly, staff could not have been more helpful and clearly post-Covid visitors returning is key. We were a little concerned about the election but it has all gone relatively smoothly. The day in Nairobi was very enjoyable - being a Sunday traffic was not a problem.

The only downer was before we went, we had to spend hours battling with the Covid and visa forms - a bit stressful, but Jessica was very helpful (and patient) with us about this and helped as much as possible.

This is our 3rd holiday with Expert Africa and we would book again, but would prefer to have flights included for future holidays, given possible Covid cancellations and hassles." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari

"This is our 3rd safari and feel that it was far superior to the previous two.

The Hemingways Ol Seki camp, Naboisho Conserivancy and our guide Amos made this trip almost impossible to beat for future travels." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari
