This was my second trip with Expert Africa. I’ve been more than impressed with the service and assistance I’ve received. I love your website and how easy it is to research properties and locations. I often surf your site just for fun! I have very much appreciated the care I’ve received pre-trip and upon arrival to my destination. Knowing assistance is waiting to shepherd me through customs and to my ground transportation is highly valued, especially as I often travel solo. Upon arrival in Tanzania, we were whisked through a separate, empty line while other travelers waited in a crowded cue. Given the long travel from the US to Africa, it’s nice to have the arrival expedited. I’m now planning a third trip with you to Zambia and know I will be taken care of. Thanks so much for opening up a whole new world for me. In my opinion, there is no better place to vacation than in Africa!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"My Jan 2025 trip"
Logistics were very smooth from landing in Kigali to drop off at JRO.
Expert Africa even had someone greet us at Kigali to escort us through customs, see us to a lounge while waiting, gather our bags, and direct us from the lounge to our driver.
Our driver in Rwanda was incredible. Just a fantastic experience." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

We really enjoyed every minute of it, from the flights to the accommodations to the game drives, all was perfectly organised and it felt like a true holiday, thank you!" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari
"My Nov 2024 trip"
There was a lovely contrast between the two camps and game parks. We were also very fortunate to have the same guide, Godwin, with us at Kuro who had been with us 11 years ago taking our family on a week long trip. We loved being with him again.
We saw a huge amount of game and birds in both Parks, but I am not sure if we would go in November again as we were unlucky with the short rains and had rain most days, some of which was torrential!
However, the upside was that there were very few other people around in either Park and we felt, while in Lamai, that we had the Serengeti to ourselves as didn’t see another game truck on one day. We would definitely choose to pick Nomad camps again as they are extremely well run and with great guiding.

"My Sep 2024 trip"
We were placed with Jessica Plumb based on the area we desired to travel. She guided us with care and precision answering any and all questions we had. The attention to detailed planning was felt throughout the trip! We could not have asked for anything more!
The Nomad team was top notch. You can tell by talking to them they are a wonderful company with little turnover. They are a family and value their guest. The accommodations, although all different were excellent and the service was first class. The food was AMAZING. We really had no idea what to expect but it was delicious. The guides take ownership in making sure their guest see everything they possibly can. Wifi was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated to communicate briefly with those back home. Without a doubt we will assist in talking to anyone about our trip and the excellent service we received!
It's hard to say what was our favorite because we loved each and every minute! We have said again and again we could not have been treated any better any where else! We hope to return and WILL use Expert Africa.
Feel free to use any of our quotes!

"Our Sep 2024 trip"
When we embarked on this journey, we reached out to several outfitters with written questions. Richard stood out as the only one who replied in writing, addressing each of our queries. We appreciated that, as it showed he was willing to take the time to provide thorough answers instead of opting for a quick phone call. Through our exchange of preferences, we eventually set up a phone call to finalize the country and initial park selections. It was clear that Richard was truly listening when he suggested swapping Amboseli for Samburu to enhance our animal encounters. His recommendation, based on the unique features of each park, convinced us that the switch was the right choice. Additionally, we decided to include another park and lodge based on our combined ideas.
As our travel date approached, we both felt a bit anxious, being detail-oriented individuals who thrive on precision. Richard managed to provide some additional details, but he urged us to trust him with the finer points. He assured us that from the moment we landed in Nairobi until our return flight home, we would be well taken care of. Although this level of trust was outside our comfort zone, we agreed. Now that we're back, we can confidently say Richard was right—every detail was meticulously handled. Wahoo! Everywhere we went, people were expecting us, from the pilots to the lodges and guides, seamlessly coordinating our journey at each transfer point.
Our trip as a whole met our expectations and went way beyond. We have done nothing but rave about it since we returned home. We have told everyone we have talked to about the trip what a great experience it was and how great it was to work with Richard. Given the opportunity to plan another trip like this, we would certainly be comfortable working with Richard and would highly recommend him and Expert Africa to friends.

On our trip, we experienced both communal and solitary dining. We thoroughly enjoyed the communal meals with the General Manager, Assistant General Manager, and other lodge guests. These gatherings offered us a valuable opportunity to learn about each person's culture and experiences. We believe that offering a communal dining option could enhance the overall experience, making it more enriching and engaging." Read full review: 24 nights in Africa; 15 on a Kenya safari
