Zambia and 1 other country between 27 Jul 2011 and 11 Aug 2011
"This was my 3rd time to Africa and my husband's first. We were celebrating our 25th anniversary and my dream of seeing Victoria Falls. The trip was a dream come true - for both of us. David couldn't imagine how something as large as an adult elephant could be 'hidden' right next to us. And, the guides, wildlife, camps and staff never disappointed us.
Now I just need to figure out a way to take our 3 children (ages 19/21/23) to Africa to show them why I've always said 'imagine we are the zoo and the animals are us'. They roam freely and still give me such joy!!!!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Maruska was excellent in that she had visited some of the camps we stayed in and had other guests whose comments she shared with us.
She took the time to really listen to our wants and needs to what we were looking for and picked out some really good options and helped us pick the best. I will recommend Expert Africa to friends and family.
Thank you Maruska for a fantastic vacation / 25th wedding anniversary!!"

Avani Victoria Falls
"Right on the edge of Victoria Falls"
2 nights
Arrived
2 Aug 2011
"Zambezi Sun is located right on the edge of the falls, just a short walk to one of the natural wonders of the earth. Our room had trouble with shower flooding, shower door not closing property and the toilet never quit running. Several calls to the front desk finally brought maintenance to fix the toilet and shower drain. Unfortunately, the door still never shut properly.
Buffet food was average but we did enjoy a wonderful meal at an adjacent steakhouse."
