My Aug 2022 trip
Zimbabwe between 8 Aug 2022 and 18 Aug 2022
"Everything went perfectly and we appreciated that Little Vundu especially knew what we wanted as photographers before we arrived so we got the best guiding experience ever.
We did ask the staff of Little Vundu to please stop using one way plastic bottles and use refillable bottles."

Changa Safari Camp
"Changa Safari Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
14 Aug 2022
"Changa is extremely luxurious and the rooms are amazing. The food is top notch. We enjoyed getting thoroughly pampered.
The only negative feedback is that it's got a bit less of a safari feel and more of a hotel/lodge.
We missed sharing a table with other guests but on the other hand enjoyed the catered experience for a romantic few days."

February kalahari/Chobe Trip
Botswana and 1 other country between 7 Feb 2018 and 17 Feb 2018
"As professional photographers, we felt every penny was well spent to get the absolute maximum out of a eight night safari.
We were thrilled.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Expert Africa should add some images to both brochure and website to give people an even better idea of camps and more to look forward to."

Nxai Pan Camp
"Nxai Pan Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
8 Feb 2018
"The staff was beyond welcoming. Management was some of the best and nicest I've come across in Africa.
The rooms are lovely and clean, of a simplicity in furniture and the more beautiful for it. Very comfy beds! Food was excellent.
Our guide, Chester, being aware we are photographers, knew how to position his vehicle to put all our animals into the best light."

Tau Pan Camp
"Tau Pan Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
11 Feb 2018
"We thoroughly enjoyed Tau Pan, especially as the difference in surroundings to Nxai Pan was significant.
We noticed how many other guests had little idea of it being a desert environment and thus were surprised at the infrequency of wildlife sightings. The sightings there are were spectacular however. The people are stellar from guides to management to kitchen."

Chobe Princesses
"Chobe Princesses review"
2 nights
Arrived
14 Feb 2018
"The best part of the Chobe Princess was the ease with which we could arrange our own program. We were there to take photos and could re-arrange the program accordingly. The photographer's boat with built in tripods is out of this world amazing.
The guide was very good at spotting birds and animals and putting us into the right angles. We had the front facing room which was super.
There are differences in the cabins with the front one and upper deck one being a notch higher than side-cabins."

The mopane woods beyond the lodge are incredibly beautiful and the elephants wander around the camp site perfectly relaxed. The camp has no unnecessary luxury distracting from the experience but absolutely anything one needs. The food was plenty and delicious.
One of the best guiding experiences we've ever had in Africa!"
