"A great trip - thoroughly well organised"
Expert Africa listened well, came up with a good itinerary first up and put us in the type of camps that we really like. You can't ask for more than that." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
"My Oct 2017 trip"
I really want to thank Megan for preparing it so well and for all the little attentions paid everywhere for our anniversary.
Thank you specifically for our anniversary celebration at Royal Livingstone that was fantastic.
Already looking forward to our next trip!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
"My Sep 2017 trip"
It is a shame it is classified as a malaria area because everywhere we went managers told us they did not have mosquitoes. The other wildlife is fantastic and plentiful at this time of year (late September - October).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I think your team do a great job at the moment and I certainly recommend Expert Africa wholeheartedly whenever friends are thinking about visiting the area.
As Arnie famously said, I'll be back!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
"Zambia 2017"
We are contemplating a return after the rains to see South Luangwa when it is green." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
"To say "A Dream Come True" is to Understate.."
We met someone on our trip who had spent the equivalent of four months at a full time job researching his trip to Africa, rejecting agency after agency when they didn't include or provide the amenities that this man deemed essential to a perfect safari. I was BEYOND DELIGHTED to learn that every single thing this man had learned was the best way to go, Justin at Expert Africa had included in our trip to the extent that it was literally perfect. I don't think I can put it any more succinctly than that.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Only one. I felt that canvas wallet you provided was a tad excessive, as I have no future use for it, and didn't really need it during the trip. Maybe others feel differently, but I do plan to send ours back.
Thank you so much for running a fantastic operation!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Kenya safari
"Zambian bush walking at its best"
Extending our stay in some of the lodges was the correct decision as it allowed us to relax rather than feel we were always on the move.
We would definitely use ExpertAfrica again if we visited Africa again." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
"Amazing trip"
Zambia was incredible and the sightings were amazing." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"Vic Falls in August 2017"
"A magical experience"
Freddie was able to gather together a range of options that suited our budget & patiently responded to a myriad of questions put to him.
I have since recommended this company to friends/ family who usually use other operators for long haul because of the customer service and attention to detail." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari
"An amazing get away to beautiful Zambia."
