"Amazing."

I visited Zambia between 21 Sep 2007 and 12 Oct 2007
"It was a perfect experience. I wanted to return to Lusaka where I had grown up and then to go on to some safaris and the Falls and then onto Capetown where we have friends.

It was a perfectly planned trip, Lucy from Expert Africa had been so helpful every step of the way.

Suggestions for improvement:

It would be great to get rid of the tetse fly - i understand that other countries have introduced an erridation programme. Otherwise your reecommendations and services were excellent." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari

"I'm going again"

I visited Zambia between 17 Sep 2007 and 6 Oct 2007
"The whole experience was fabulous. The camps were luxurious and the whole point of going, ie the animals, was worth every penny. Loads of pictures to edit which will serve as a fond reminder of one of the best holidays ever.

I would also like to give a special thank you to Anna Devereux who handled the booking. She is a very efficient agent who was only too pleased to help sort out any problems (which she did without fuss), and her advice and tips were all very welcome and useful. She is a huge asset to Expert Africa." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"Let's go back!"

I visited Zambia between 6 Sep 2007 and 25 Sep 2007
"Owner-run camps are far superior to the Wilderness camps, for the most part (Lufupa excepted).

Expert Africa should work harder to promote the smaller camps which have invested so much in providing and further developing outstanding experiences for their guests. I would hate to see them pushed out by the larger international operations. The tsetse fly situation came close to ruining our visit in a couple of places.

You really should do more to warn visitors of their presence. People should not be subjected to long drives at tree line or in forests during peak fly times of day. Mosi Beer lived up to expectations, though! Would be happy to discuss our visit with Anna in more detail.

Finally, we would like to thank the people in Expert Africa for all of the help that has been provided for us. Anna has been a real source of good and reliable information and has come up with lots of suggestions which made our trip special. She has gone that extra bit to ensure that everything came out well and all of the bits were in place. I am sure that there were times when we were real pains, but we never knew it from Anna. With people like her, I'm sure that your organisation will continue its run of success." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
