Reviews of trips to Lilongwe

"This was our first time using an agent as we typically like arranging our trips ourselves but we couldn't have managed without the Expert Africa team on this occasion.

We had a wonderful time in Zambia and Malawi and the whole trip fitted together seamlessly.

There was one minor mix up made by the staff in our hotel in Lilongwe which Lucy immediately sorted out with the hotel to get us a partial refund." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Lucy understood where we had been before and what we were looking for on this trip so we have no complaints at all and would book again." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"This was our fifth trip with EA and we started to plan our sixth one immediately. That probably says a lot.

Though this is not a budget company, in our experience there is no such thing as a cheap Africa trip. At least not if you expect tailor made quality, which is exactly what EA delivers.

Very well informed and in possession of local knowledge and experience. Communication is quick and honest. Unexpected situations are dealt with professionaly.

This makes for a complete package when you're looking for a quality trip to Southern Africa.

"Claire's support and advice were brilliant from the moment I rang Expert Africa to first enquire about safari holidays in Malawi.

Claire ensured we had a family holiday to remember and the overall service and value from Expert Africa was fantastic.

"As usual with Expert Africa every thing went like clockwork. We recommend you every time!

Only place I was not that happy with was Latitude 13 but not sure what other options there were to get a PCR test done even though we did not need it in the end." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Malawi trip

"We enjoyed the whole trip very much although the travel days were very long. Transiting in and out of Mozambique was like something out of a Graham Green novel. Dirt roads, run down buildings but very friendly people" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"Malawi is the third trip that we have booked with Expert Africa in the last year following Namibia and Rwanda (incorporating Uganda) and disregarding the issue with the Ulendo flight from Likoma and the miscommunication with Latitude 13, it was another wonderful trip.

Many thanks as always for the organisation and recommendations that have made our trips so memorable and special. We look forward to the preparations for our next one.

Sincerely, Anna & Malcolm

Pack me in one of your suitcases please.....😊

Its always a pleasure dealing with the staff of Expert Africa!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Malawi trip

"Very well constructed itinerary which for most part ran smoothly.

We were disappointed with Malawi for the reasons mentioned and also for the costs associated with Lilongwe airport. The actual internal flight departure tax is $7 per person and the external departure tax is $35 per person. Visa charge is $75 per person.

Considering the country is regarded as 'poor' and want to encourage tourism the Tourism Board should consider requesting the Government to reduce the fees involved. Suppose the UK equivalent is Air Passenger Duty (APD) which is £13 per person for flights of less than 2000 miles." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari
