"Zambia and Malawi were a great combination"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 30 Jun 2012 and 13 Jul 2012
"A fabulous trip. Zambia is a great safari destination and Lake Malawi the perfect spot for R&R afterwards.
Expert Africa were superb in their efforts to make the trip as best as it could be for us. We heartily recommend them." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia safari & Lake Malawi"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 20 Aug 2011 and 4 Sep 2011
"After three previous planned trips, our long-awaited Zambia safari fulfilled all of our (lofty) expectations.
The varied, fun-filled days and nights in Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa were all that we had hoped for and both parks more than deserve their reputation. To just name a few highlights: 7 great leopard sightings in 10 days, lions hunting/feeding on buffalo/playing with cubs, elephants within reach (his and mine), lazily canoeing down the great Zambezi river (incl. hippo "bump") or herds of elephant majestically crossing the Luangwa/Zambezi.
Lake Malawi and Kaya Mawa has been a wonderful addition that should not be missed.
As usual, thank you very much to Ellie and the Expert Africa team for their knowledgeable advice and valuable service - there is a reason we have booked all of our Africa trips with Expert Africa during the last 10 years. May there be many more to come

I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 16 Jul 2008 and 30 Jul 2008
"A wonderful trip - thank you - our third trip with you and just as good as the others.
The second half (post safari) was an attempt by us to get closer to the real Africa again and we most impressed at Kawaza, Kaya Mawa and Nkwichi by the responsible tourism and how the lodges are working sucessfully with the local people" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia safari and Kaya Mawa"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 11 Jul 2008 and 23 Jul 2008
"Fantastic- we had a wonderful time!
Anna's advice was bang on and I thought of her several times during the trip, remembering her enthusiasm and wanting to say how much I agreed!
Suggestions for improvemnet:
Tell your clients to take plenty of dollars. Sterling is no good. They need money for taxes in Malawi as well as in Zambia. And lots of money for tips, which were much more standard than we had been led to believe in the Guide." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

I visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 14 Dec 2007 and 2 Jan 2008
"Before going, all the information and organisation had been extrremely good and this was refelected in the actual trip where everything went so smoothly and we could not fault it. The local agents (Wilderness, Kwando and Robin Pope) were wonderfully helpful and efficient.
However, one or two tips to pass on - firstly, forget travellers cheques on a trip like this - no one was interested in having or cashing them - cash dollars are king. Secondly, both in Nkwichi and Kaya Mawa, there are no advertised tariffs and although we could have asked, and we are aware that we had to pay for these extras, it would be helpful, particularly as cash is king, to know what you are letting yourself in for. Thirdly, forget immodium, carry Ciprin antibiotic for any stomach bug.
Finally many thanks to Claire for interpreting our requirements so well and ensuring that the places we went fulfilled all our ambitions for the trip. Oh and don't go to Luangwa or Nkwichi if you don't like snakes (particularly in your bedroom!)!" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
