"very much enjoyed"
I visited South Africa and 1 other country between 15 Feb 2015 and 7 Mar 2015
"The Sunvil section of our trip went very smoothly as did our unscheduled previous week at Hout Bay. We had no incidence of attemped theft nor did we at any time feel threatened.The main concern of the S.African tourist industry seems to blame falling visitor numbers on the European perception that Africa = Ebola (5k miles away!!) and that every time you get out of your car you are at risk.
We found the people friendly and helpful. The exchange rate is also ,very attractive.
We feel that this was one of our best holidays ever and we would love to go back.
Thanks Claire for organising it so well.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
In your brochure or when the clients itinerary is made up you may like to consider suggesting things to do /see at the suggested stopovers or on the way. e.g. Bartholomew Dias at Mossel bay, Drodsty Museum at Swallenburg etc." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"We loved it"
I visited South Africa between 24 Dec 2014 and 11 Jan 2015
"We had a great time even though we both had flu!!!
We enjoyed the different character of the lodges, this was our second time with Expert Africa in South Africa and you have taken us to Namibia as well
For us the treats were Bushmans Kloof and Kwandwe and we love Cape Town. We were happier in town than out at Camps Bay.
We'd lile a CapeTown/Kwandwe/somewhere else holiday next time - I was looking at your brochure in secret today!
so Thank You Tracy and all the staff in South Africa (apart from the misery at De Hoop) We had a fantastic time

"The most incredible trip we have ever taken!"
I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 18 Dec 2014 and 5 Jan 2015
"This was our "trip of a lifetime." All of the arrangements and advice from Tracy Lederer were excellent. Tracy worked with me by email and phone to plan a unique arrangement to bring our five family members from the USA, Namibia and Mozambique together for this trip. She was extremely patient, and answered my questions even when asked several times.
The voucher system for the lodgings worked well, and I was happy not to have to rely on using a credit card at each location.
I wish I had known the time it would take to travel between each location ahead of time, and possibly have spent three nights at some locations such as Etosha. There were several long driving days.
There was the unfortunate DHL incident, where my vouchers and maps did not arrive before our trip. Tracy scanned and sent our vouchers and some maps by email. The partner organization in Windhoek met us and gave us the Namibian maps and were a great help. This was the only problem we had - which was easily overcome.
Thank you very much for everything. It was an amazing trip that we will be talking about for a long time." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Namibia trip
