"Loved it"
I would definitely recommend Expert Africa and Robin Pope to anyone. All the people that worked at the camps were really really friendly and nice, those that were local to the area especially so. I also like the ethos on the drives of not crowding the animals with to many vehicles, as great as it is to see the animals, it is still their home. All the guides were extremely respectful of the animals and the environment and very knowledgeable.
I think this has probably been my best holiday ever so far, I was extremely lucky with all the friendly people I met either on the plane or at the camps and I thoroughly enjoyed myself, despite being somewhat scared at the start.
Thank you very much to all involved, public facing and behind the scenes." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
"My Jul 2015 trip"
"Zambia trip"
The key to this success, was the great advice & discussion I had with Megan during the booking process. I had a good idea what I was looking for & what I didn't want, she was very good at discussing the pros & cons of each camp & location. I never felt pressured to just make a booking.
In the end the holiday & the camps delivered exactly what were looking for. Many Thanks for a wonderful experience

"Flawless"
Our trip was everything we expected...and more. This trip was for my husband's 40th birthday & she must have let all the lodges know because they all did something special for him. It really made the whole experience extra special for him.
Our entire trip was flawless - from the pickup at Livingstone airport to drop off at Likoma's tiny airport for our journey back to the States. Thank you so much, Claire & Expert Africa, for putting together a trip we will remember forever.

"Wonderful Holiday"
My family has an active, adventurous spirit, which Claire Scott (Expert Africa) picked up on right away as we discussed options nearly nine months prior. Accordingly, Claire recommended camps that met our desires and expectations. I cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Expert Africa and how efficiently our holiday played out. Complex logistics were well planned and execution was seamless. Well done!" Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
