FANTASTIC!!!!
Botswana and 2 other countries between 2 Jun 2011 and 13 Jun 2011
"Our trip was exceptional! We have been to Africa three times before but never to the Okovango Delta or Capetown and never with Expert Africa. We wouldn't change one day of it! Every part of it was exceptional from the Falls to the safaris to the wine tasting in Capetown.
We agreed that one of the things that made it truely exceptional was the construction of the trip. What I mean by that, is that we got to do and see exactly what we wanted, so it was a highly individualized tour, but we had Expert Africa there every step of the way to make sure that every detail was taken care of and taken care of professionally.
When we climbed on our flight from the US to fly ten thousand miles to another continent and begin a unique adventure, we did not know if everything would go as smoothly as promised or not. It went better, every step of the way, then we could have imagined. Every flight was on time, every camp was expecting us and treated us like royalty, even our side trips to Gaborone and Capetown went without a hitch. And through it all we were able to travel on our own schedule without being hampered by being part of a larger tour group. We would recommend Expert Africa to anyone!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
No suggestions really. While Maruska was away, her sister helped, Saskia, us. She was as professional and helpful as Maruska. They were both great!"

Kwara Camp
"Kwara Camp review"
2 nights
Arrived
3 Jun 2011
"Kwara was a charming camp. Beautiful tent facilities on the edge of a Hippo lagoon. Our guide and tracker were knowledgeable and friendly. One of the highlights was the motorboat tour of the lagoon. We saw many hippos and enjoyed a beautiful sunset.
The best part of that boat ride was our walk along the shore underneath century old trees. We felt as if we had traveled back to the beginning of time! What a relaxed way to start a safari."

Lebala Camp
"Lebala Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
5 Jun 2011
"If I could give Lebala an Excellent Plus, I would. This tent camp, set in a more savannah type setting, was luxurious. The so called tents were really more like five star hotel rooms.
The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful.The food was great and plentiful and there were lots of fruits and vegetables, which I appreciated. I celebrated my birthday at this camp and the staff bent over backwards to give me a real birthday surprise!
Our guide was Charles, the camp manager. He was unbelievably great! So knowledgeable and friendly and bold! He got us closer to the animals than any other guide. He drove hours out of the way so that we could see the wild dogs that were resting after a hunt at another camp. We saw herds of elephants, zebras, an enormous pride of lions and giraffes, zebra and cheetas. And we were so close to them that our pictures are National Geographic quality! Our entire trip to Africa was amazing, but we will always hold a special place in our hearts for Lebala."

Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront
"Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront review"
3 nights
Arrived
10 Jun 2011
"A beautiful hotel with a great, waterfront setting.
We were exceptionally pleased with this Capetown choice of a hotel. Not only was it comfortable and safe, but it had a great location.... close to the shops and cafes along the waterfront. This meant we could go out at night and walk around a beautiful setting without a worry for our safety."
