"Windhoek to Victoria Falls"
When we reached Victoria Falls we felt very satisfied that we (or rather my husband) had driven all the way up from Cape Town over the course of 3 holidays (thanks for the idea Chris).
Some of the scenery was superb - we've never seen such beautiful and unspoilt wetland areas. We considered ourselves fortunate to have seen it at a time of exceptionally high water although the recent flooding has not been great for local residents" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 10 on a Namibia trip

"A relaxing escape in the bush"
After just 24h in th bush it felt as if we had been away from the humdrum of UK life for an age. We have rarely experienced service as good as that provided by Wilderness staff anywhere in the world and would recommend the company very highly to other travellers. We will definiteley book another holiday in Africa in the future.
Suggestions for improvements:
Keep it up! Excellent in all respects." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Botswana safari
"A definite holiday to remember"
The whole trip exceeded expectations, and the level of service throughout the trip could not be faulted and while a Zambian safari is not the cheapest option, I felt this was definitely value for money.
Anna's advice on the itinery turned out to be a perfect recommendation, with the right amount of time in each place.
Suggestions for improvement:
I was completely satisfied with the whole level of service, particularly the fact that the itinerary was organised around what I was looking for rather than any pre-set itinerary. Anna was also able to give recommendations on the options, based on personal experience - always a plus for me. I would definitely recommend Expert Africa to anyone considering a safari to Africa."

"Overall feedback"
Your questionnaire is too much on the camps/hotels and not enough on the experiences and what you see which are far more important to us. We would go back to each place we stayed and we would certainly use Expert Africa again especially as we initially costed this trip ouselves and found that you offered a good saving and the added comfort of support in the UK and Anna's advice and in depth knowledge of Zambia. We know a number of other clients who say the same about Anna :)
Suggestions to help Expert Africa improve their service: Keep on looking out for camps and lodges that concentrate on wildlife not just creature comforts. Keep prices competitive, keep friendly and knowledgeable staff like Anna. We are very happy - thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"Superb African Experience"
Zambia was an excellent choice: The nature is majestic during the wet season, the wildlife superbe. The people in all three places were very professional, knowledgeable, genuinely kind, polite and pleasant. We had a great time!
Suggestions for improvements:
You are doing an excellent job, however, if you wish to expand your services to clientelle outside the UK, you need to examine alternative ways to get your clients to Zambia." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"Dream Factory"
Everyone seemed out to make it the holiday of a life-time for us. Despite the fact that they are meeting 'first-timers' every day they shared our enjoyment afresh. That's camp staff, guides, transfer drivers, everyone we met. Thanks a million to them all." Read full review: 39 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari
