"Our trip in early March"
It was hard to believe how inexpensive South Africa is, compared with other "winter sun" destinations" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 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
"Wonderful holiday"
Our 3 weeks has given us a taste of the country and we highly recommend to others. We thought our previous trip arranged by yourselves to Namibia could not be equalled but you proved us wrong. Many thanks AGAIN." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

"My 29 Nov. trip"
Felt very safe everywhere." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip
"Glad We Chose South Africa"
Because of South Africa's bad press, we were a little concerned, but at no point did we feel unsafe. Everyone we met was very proud of their country and deservedly so. At times we had to remind ourselves we were not in the Home Counties; it was so well-kempt, smooth running and friendly. The quality of hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and shops is very high. Everyone strives to give the best service possible. The political issues that we hear about are evident, but not defining of a country which is looking forwards not back.
It was a great trip, wonderful hotels, beautiful scenery and welcoming people. We would happily recommend a visit to anyone else.

Our second excellent trip with Expert Africa and I really do not see how your service could be improved (Just a minor point - a better map would have helped our travels!)" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 17 on a South Africa trip

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
"My Oct 2014 trip"
Everything worked like clockwork - flights, transfers and car hire.
A bonus was being able to dip out of the programme to stay with my sister for a couple of days.
Each element of the holiday - Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, the Cape were all different but enjoyable in their own way.
One thing that worked particularly well was to have the leisurely stop at Victoria Falls at the beginning of the holiday, and the leisurely shopping stop in Cape Town at the end." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip
"Our Easter 2014 trip"
South Africa is perfect for families - the people are so friendly, the food and accommodation outstanding and the activities amazing. Driving around is easy and its great value for money. It just gets better on every visit." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a South Africa trip
