"Kwandwe Novemebr 2016"

I visited South Africa between 2 Nov 2016 and 4 Nov 2016
"Tracy helped us to organize the last part of a longer trip to SA.

She was helpful, knowledgable and resourceful, and made it possible for us to go to Kwandwe. She was slick and reliable on admin and the materials and support that Expert Africa provided was really useful.

Thank you so much.

"Trip of a lifetime"

I visited South Africa between 1 Apr 2016 and 14 Apr 2016
"Overall we had an amazing trip, such a shame that the Larids lodge didnt live up to the standard of the rest of the trip.

Our agent Claire who we booked the trip through was SO helpful and couldn’t have done more. Her advice was invaluable and very worthwhile." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a South Africa trip

"Valentine's at the cricket!"

I visited South Africa between 30 Jan 2016 and 17 Feb 2016
"Having visited South Africa briefly on several occasions we decided to make it our focus this time. The weather was good, though very, very hot at Kwandwe.

We had a good range of accommodation and the exchange rate meant that everything was extremely good value once we got there. We'd chosen our own accommodation at Oudtshoorn which we suggest Expert Africa look at for future travellers.

Cape Town was, as always, lovely!

Already booked to go back next year!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"Wonderful Way to spend part of January"

I visited South Africa between 2 Jan 2016 and 18 Jan 2016
"We both thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. We loved the landscape, the food, the wines and sunshine and warmth in January.

The Winelands were more amazingly beautiful than anticipated. People very helfpul and friendly.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Thank you for organising a super holiday for us.

If we had to make one recommendation it would be an appeal for better maps for self-drive." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 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

"Fantastic taste of South Africa"

I visited South Africa between 1 Nov 2014 and 16 Nov 2014
"We covered the right amount of distance so the holiday felt interesting but not too tiring. We booked an additional hotel ourselves called Tamodi Lodge, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Fantastic location for exploring the Plett area and an amazing property with an exceptional host. http://www.tamodi.co.za - if you are looking for new properties this is one to look at" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 5 on a South Africa trip
