My Jan 2023 trip
Kenya between 5 Jan 2023 and 17 Feb 2023
"Wonderful Kenya trip with two solid, very different and serious camps.
We loved the small touch from Expert Africa of being welcome by a staff just before immigration.
After such a long flight, it is always a nice surprise not to queue for passport control."

My Jun 2021 trip
Zambia between 24 Jun 2021 and 8 Jul 2021
"Travelling to Africa at the time of Covid was a challenge. We were pretty sure about our target camps and were delighted with our choices. But none of this would have been possible without having been supported all way long by Megan.
Zambian entry rules changed literally 3 times in 3 months and especially twice in the 2 weeks prior departure. Megan kept daily contact with camps always leaving the option to cancel and get fully refunded till last possible moment. What was determining for our choice to fly in, was the direct contact I could have with Dave, their local handling agent who described honestly and openly how things were happening locally. The openness of the whole team how they would deal with forced quarantaine, border closing or airline flight suspension was the decisive factor.
Expert Africa and their local Zambian contacts have earned our outmost trust and respect. Special mention to Dave at Lusaka airport who had spontaneously printed all latest entry rules in our home country which facilitated with airline and immigration agents.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't wait to use your services for our next trip to Africa!
A special note as well to mention the opportunity to speak to EA staff Expert in Zambia who gave us his personal opinion on a series of camps so we could confront our wishes vs his own experience.
Also thank you to Chris himself [Ed: Expert's MD] who did not hesitate to answer email himself when Megan was out of office even for a couple of days only."

"Nice staff. Great to have been alone as I could get the best room. Which was great.
Camp needs a bit care. Some plastic waste in the camp hidden in the tracks for birding. Fantastic potential though for birds.
Feel sorry for them that they had so little tourists."

Ntemwa Busanga Camp
"Ntemwa Busanga Camp review"
6 nights
Arrived
2 Jul 2021
"Even better than sister camp Musekese.
Tent a bit more basic with bucket shower but fitted perfectly our need in search for simple comfort of a true bush camp.
Location is amazing mixing such diverse habitats. Like Musekese, food is chef level!"
