"Great trip to South Africa"
- saw lots of animals and wild life - safari, whales, penguins
- we had a lot of weather too - fire in Cape Town, snow just outside Cape Town, fog and rain in Kwandwe & Plett, stromy winds in Hermanus, but we also had some sunny days
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
- we like to book with specialist companies, travel agents that are specialist in a region or country
- we very much enjoyed our face to face meeting with Tracy and she put a very nice trip together
- we missed a bit the option of having a day planned out at Plettenberg or Cape Town for example, but we got all the information so that we can plan our days" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a South Africa trip
"A dream holiday"
The hotels were all very good, the people are lovely and so pleasant. Getting around was very easy.
We absolutely loved South Africa, there is so much to see and do. Cage diving with the sharks, whale watching and the safari where fun.

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
"March 10 days in the Cape"
Our remit was flora and landscape which we got brilliantly, but we never expected such luxury and fine dining. Many thanks for all you have done to make our short stay so wonderful and memorable.

I didn't really use the brochure much and the web site not at all, as your team is always so well informed that we took their advice and you came up trumps again!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip
"Valentine's at the cricket!"
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
