My May 2009 trip
Zambia between 17 May 2009 and 28 May 2009
"The response by Expert Africa was great, well organized and responsive to requests.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It is good to have feedback from people who have been to the resorts.
Makes a real difference."

"Toka Leya - nice location but lacked that special touch that good management brings.
Manager was new and perhaps will get more in stride with time."

Marlin Lodge, Mozambique (this camp has since closed)
"Marlin Lodge"
4 nights
Arrived
24 May 2009
"The location is lovely and the cabanas very nice, but the overall experience was bland.
There was not much interaction with management, except for Grant (Chef) and Micheline (PR). As a result the resort lacked soul."

Only difficulty was the monkeys were able to open the zippers and get into the rooms, causing havoc in the room and stealing all medications, pills etc. They are working on solving this problem.
Loved being able to boat on the river, from sunset cruises to fishing to canoing."
