"Escaping the UK Winter, embracing PCR tests to visit"
I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 26 Jan 2022 and 22 Feb 2022
"As always Tracy and the team came up trumps with recommendations, encouragement to actually travel while travel restrictions / PCR tests/ potential for sudden changes in entry requirements etc where a concern.
We felt so lucky to have escaped the UK winter , passed all the various tests etc and returned home relaxed tanned and without Covid.
It was our first visit to Mozambique ( encouraged hugely by Tracy when we suggested beach !). Would highly recommend Azura Benguerra.
We know South Africa well and would normally organise most of a trip there ourselves but felt in the current world circumstances that having the support, backing and knowledge of a company like Expert Africa was very important. Thankfully we had no problems at any stage.
We are ready for the next trip soon !" Read full review: 27 nights in Africa; 8 on a South Africa trip

"My Sep 2019 trip"
I visited Zambia and 4 other countries between 19 Sep 2019 and 12 Oct 2019
"We were very impressed with the Local Agents everywhere#
We had 11 flights. We travelled to Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia and Mozambique. We travelled into and out of Jo'Burg in South Africa 3 x times
We had countless Border crossings and 5 pages were completely used up in on new (thankfully) passports----more than 5 pages would have been used up, had the Immigration Staff everywhere, been less considerate and using up pages, rather than constantly stamping new pages!
Every Local Agent arrived early to meet us and took all the hassle out of all the numerous border crossings, particularly on the Chobe River on the boat, where you have to pass through Nambia and Botswana on entering and leaving!
In the end the trip is as good as the Local Agents, and the Local Agents that Expert Africa used were suberb, efficient and charming
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Well done Amanda. A wonderful trip, very efficiently organised and with great detail
All of our requests were realised on the day and we thank you for all your very hard work" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"25th Anniversary & Trip of a Lifetime. "
I visited Mozambique and 2 other countries between 22 Aug 2019 and 9 Sep 2019
"In life you get what you pay [Generally] & whilst an Expensive Trip, we couldn't & wouldn't want to fault any part of it. A fantastic Holiday to a part of the World that we wouldn't ordinarily consider venturing to.
Accommodation was unbelievably good / Game Viewing superb & everyone that we encountered friendly & helpful.
If only we'd have found that Cheetah.!! - Oh well that's a good enough reason to return in my book.!!!
Thanks to Lucy Copson for preparing out itinerary & having the patience of Job with our various amendments.
Thanks Guys / Gals.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Off Hand no suggestions other than maybe a little more guidance re Visas & applying / holding hands a little more particularly Zimbabwe.
A great job
Thanks to Everyone involved." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 4 on a Mozambique holiday

"Our Zimbabwe safari"
I visited Zimbabwe and 2 other countries between 7 Sep 2018 and 26 Sep 2018
"Overall we enjoyed our safari very much. The encounters with wildlife were more extensive and intimate than we had experienced before. Birdlife was superb.
We were surprised at the high number of elephants in Hwange, but it was explained by the guides that there are very few permanent, natural water sources and those that are there are mainly man-made. They are maintained and water is pumped permanently which means the elephants do not need to migrate to Botswana during the dry season but can stay in Zimbabwe year round and are breeding very prolifically.
Seeing white rhinos in the wild was fantastic and the reason we chose to visit Zimbabwe so we weren't disappointed.
All 3 camps were very comfortable in their own ways and all very different from each other. it was a pleasure to stay at each of them. Ilala Lodge was a wonderful start to our holiday.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It may be a good idea to recommend at least 3 nights at Amalinda if visitors would like to see cave paintings and visit World's End. We hadn't realised we wouldn't have time to do both." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari
