sept 14 Zambian trip
Zambia between 3 Sep 2014 and 15 Sep 2014
"This is the second time we have used Expert Africa and both times have found the trips to be well planned. We did not have a single problem and every thing went smoothly including having someone waiting at the airport when re arrived and being escorted onto our charter flight. Also at the end we had a very tight schedule when we landed in Lusaka and connecting to our SA flight and someone was waiting and kept the SA desk open for us, as without that we would have missed our connection.
I would highly recommend this company for any trips to Africa."

Potato Bush Camp
"Potato Bush Camp review"

"the location of this camp is stunning -right on the river- the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, our game driver Ryan was amazing his knowledge was immense, they offered bush walking and canoeing and both of these were brilliant to experience.
The food was of a very high standard and they added a couple of really nice touches in terms of varying dining locations! i wont give it away though. 12 lions came into camp as we finished breakfast and this was really exciting. we saw loads of game including a leopard kill. Highly recommend this camp."

Chinzombo

"This camp is a real 5 star experience. The staff were friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Although this is classed as outside the reserve it actually sits on the other side of the river and so its a 1 minute boat ride into the national park, this means that there is wi-fi,electricity etc in the tents. The Manageress Katie was wonderful she goes out of her way to make your stay a lifetime experience, including running a bath for you champagne in the room and setting a table for two up on your decking.They also offer spa treatments in your tent.
The meals are generally served in the main area and the nice thing about this camp as you can sit separately from the other guests, which if you have just spent the last 7 days sharing tables with other guests is a welcome change.
the game viewing is also really good and saw lion kill a buffalo on our first day. Its slightly busier than Kafue or Lower Zambezi and so you will encounter more vehicles on the roads. i really recommend this camp as the last part of your trip."

The food was of a very high standard and the rooms were lovely and spacious. the game can be sparse and this makes this camp a good one to do at the start of your trip. the inclusive hot air balloon trip was incredible and we felt safe in the hands of the company running the trip."
