My Sep 2018 trip

Zambia and 1 other country between 13 Sep 2018 and 9 Oct 2018

Trip rating: Excellent
"Amanda who organised this for us was wonderful, and created the trip of a lifetime. All of the difficult things I had asked for were arranged to perfection, and were the highlights of our trip.

Have recommended Expert Africa to all travellers we met en route.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

One minor point. Can you add the date (or vesion number) to the text of each version of the paperwork. This is nomal office practice and avoids confusion with multiple updated documents when printed.

We will certainly come to Expert Africa again, but only on condition that I don't have to fill in 200 different reviews online again!"

Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit

Kigali Tour and Genocide Memorial Visit

"City & Genocide Memorial Tour review"

22 Sep 2018 • All-day excursion

Interesting.

Did not like the gardens. They were not properly maintained, and we thought the concepts a bit silly.
Although our flights determined when we visited, I would very much recommend seeing this at the start of a Rwanda trip.
