Our last Safari. Age has caught up
Kenya between 14 Sep 2024 and 26 Sep 2024
"This was our last safari finished in Kenya where we started our safari adventures in 1991.
We deliberately wanted to go to Camps which were unspoilt and/or rustic as they used to be when we started and also in areas with few vehicles and unspoilt countryside. Hence our choice of Laikipia and Tangulia and they both met our our wishes. The highlight of the safari has to be the migration particularly as it was unexpected as we thought the dates were not right for this sighting.
We will miss the sights and sounds of Africa (and the cuts and bruises!!) all of which we experienced on this safari.
Our thanks must be given to all the staff at Expert Africa who we have dealt with over the many years without whom we would not have had our African Adventures.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service
A simple NO."

Laikipia Wilderness
"A friendly rustic camp."
5 nights
Arrived
15 Sep 2024
"We wanted a more simple camp which is what we got.
It was simple and rustic and provided everything one would need. The tents were large and basic. Whilst this may not be to the taste of some people it more than suited us. The roads (Tracks!!!) are extremely rough and bumpy the worst we have ever experienced, so be prepared.
It has to be said that the game viewing overall was disappointing while we were there. However the views of the countryside were beautiful and awe inspiring."

The guiding was first class and we were lucky to see the migration crossing the Mara twice.
Again a warning as to the tracks similar to Laikipia.
Our tent was large and comfortable in a lovely position very private with no other tents visible."

My Aug 2022 trip
Zambia between 20 Aug 2022 and 9 Sep 2022
"This proved an excellent safari with some superb game viewing. We saw wildlife and behaviour never seen by us before over the many safaris we are lucky to have had. This was particularly exciting as this was our last safari (age has caught up with us) and shows that every safari can be unique.
Other than Shawa Camp we knew all the other camps visited which continued with the high standards they have maintained over the years.
With regard to Shawa Camp it is a tented camp albiet with big tents and we would describe it as rustic. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and found it very relaxing with lovely staff. However whilst this is far from a critism we would understand if it did not suit some people.
As we have, dare we say, reached a more elderly age, in two camps I found myself pointing out to their management that they must make sure that they fully take account of older guests who are now travelling more and who may well have reduced mobility. Thus for intance steps should be safe and not too steep and access into vehicles be much easier.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I do not have any suggestions to improve service. It has always been a pleasure to deal with Expert Africa over the many years."

An enjoyable farwell to Zambia.
Zambia between 23 Jul 2018 and 9 Aug 2018
"This is more than likely to have been our last safari to Africa.
It was therefor a safari of mixed emotions one of some sadness, being a goodbye, but on the other hand another of great experiences and memories which will last for years not only of the wildlife and environment but of the many people we have met over the years whose whole outlook was to look after you and maximise your enjoyment.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Over the many years we have had the pleasure of dealing with Expert Africa we have always received the most friendly advice and assistance.
We cannot make any suggestions for improvement and can only give them our most grateful thanks."

Zambia family safari
Zambia between 4 Aug 2016 and 20 Aug 2016
"As always we had a great time and cannot give any adverse comment on the whole experience. We have been fortunate to have been to Zambia many times through Expert Africa and Robin Pope Safaris and no two safaris are ever the same. There are always new sights smells and experiences.
This may have been our last safari as age is catching up on us on the journey out and back is long and tiring without a direct flight. Nevertheless if direct flights do return the temptation to return to Zambia may become too great to ignore.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Always very satisfied and cannot suggest any improvements."

Whilst we were on a bed and breakfast basis as we had to leave early they had a grab and run table laid up at reception which was self service for a drink a dry bread roll and limited fruit. Not really what one would expect for a hotel of this standard."

"Being a regular safari fan it was decided to take my family to Luangwa Safari House for their first taste of Africa. The family included my 7 year old grandson and 11 year old grand-daughter who had her birthday during our stay.To say the trip was a success would be an understatement with my grandchildren being entertained and spoilt by all the staff even to the extent of doing some cooking in the kitchen. They even saw Wild Dogs on two occasions!!
Not only must praise be given to Jacob and Tina for their kindness and attention to us all but also to all the backroom staff whose efforts to make our stay so enjoyable were second to none. Many thanks goes to all at the House.
On a general note the meet and greet service arranged by Robin Pope Safaris at Lusaka Airport was very welcome and efficient."

We cannot recommend this camp too much."

"This was our fifth visit need we say more. Each time we vist the camp has been improved and this time all the tents were now superior tents with very tasteful interiors which only enhances ones experiance. A new tent No. 9 has been built and its situation and decor is absolutely superb. If you were lucky enough to stay in it you would never willingly want to leave.
The guiding as always was first class and this time we fell in love with six lion cubs which we were fortunate to spend many an hour watching.
Thanks to Grant whilst we wrer there he was kind enough to arrange for us to spend 24 hours at Old Mondoro. This camp is our favourite bush camp with its own unique kharma.This was arranged so that we could see the changes that have been made there to the individual hut facilities.
These have been so well done that while they greatly improve one's creature comforts they in no change its appearance and the atmosphere at this camp is more than maintained."
The guiding as always was first class and this time we fell in love with six lion cubs which we were fortunate to spend many an hour watching.
Thanks to Grant whilst we wrer there he was kind enough to arrange for us to spend 24 hours at Old Mondoro. This camp is our favourite bush camp with its own unique kharma.This was arranged so that we could see the changes that have been made there to the individual hut facilities.
These have been so well done that while they greatly improve one's creature comforts they in no change its appearance and the atmosphere at this camp is more than maintained."

Another great Safari
Zambia between 20 Aug 2008 and 6 Sep 2008
"We have been fortunate that we have been on Safari on a number of occasions and have a great love of Africa. We have always had a great experience and a fair few adrenalin rushes when out in the Bush.
From the start of itinery planning with Expert Africa until the time we reluctantly have to come home we have always received friendly firstclass care and treatment.
Suggestions for improvement:
I cannot think of any improvements as I have always had firstclass treatment."

The improvements to The huts with the inclusion of an outside Bath is a great enhancement.

Old Mondoro Bushcamp
"The peace of Old Mondoro"
2 nights
Arrived
4 Sep 2008
"This is a great bushcamp with a superd Karma all of its own. It is very simple with just 4 Huts situated on the river bank.
You have the feeling of being so far away from civilisation and have just the bush and the sounds of Africa to keep you company.
Our 3rd visit to this camp and it never disappoints."
