"This trip exceeded our high expectations.

Smooth and no glitches in all of the arrangements. Expert Africa did great job helping us to plan this trip and recommending great camps and hotels.

Tracy's knowledge prevented some potential mistakes in our proposed itinerary.

The Residence (Not currently featured by Expert Africa)

"Pre and post-safari stay in Johannesburg"

2 nights Arrived 16 Aug 2019
"Elegant surroundings but still comfortable homelike feel with incredible service, excellent food, and very helpful staff. 5 star treatment.

Enjoyed the hot water bottles in bed and Amurula with candy on night table - nice touch! They arranged excellent outings to Cradle of Humankind and Soweto.

Greatly enjoyed Soweto visit - in no small part due to Marvin our personable and knowledgeable guide who really wanted us to truly understand the history of Soweto."

Splash Camp

Splash Camp

"The main event"

3 nights Arrived 23 Aug 2019
"This was our favorite camp. 8 hours of game drives a day. One Mokoro ride.

Cabins very nice with outdoor shower and deck with view of watering hole which almost always had animals. Animals walking around the camp, including elephants and hyenas.

Friendly staff, knowledgeable and fun guides, good with kids, and excellent food.

Saw tons of wild life including leopard, cheetahs, lions, wild dogs, elephants, giraffes, etc. Great amenities on game drives including hot water bottles and blankets for cold early morning game drives."

"A good place to rest"

1 night Arrived 26 Aug 2019
"Nice place but a level below the other camps.

Rooms adequate. Lounge and deck area comfortable.

Unfortunately with the drought the river was dry so did not see any wildlife other than birds."
