"Zambia Lower Zambezi & South Luangwa NP's "
We are so happy with the services provided by Expert Africa from the time we first contacted them, right though to some last minute changes that they sorted out for us. All in all, they are amazing, and we will use them again. Kudos to Freddie, Meagan & Amanda. Well done !

Just keep doing what you are doing, it is amazing." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari
"My May 2019 trip"
Amanda's suggestion of having a 'private' transfer back from Lower Zambezi worked very well and enabled us to connect with the international flights on the same day; this was something that I would not have envisaged had I booked direct with the lodges.
Zambia , I believe, provides a unique safari experience and although this time was no exception for us Brits (with the cost being $ linked) it is becoming rather expensive." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari
"My Mar 2019 trip"
Although there were only two other guests in the camps on two out of our 10 nights, we still received dedicated and outstanding service at all three camps; making us feel quite special. Experiencing two National Parks and three camps was just the right mix of variety for us. Staying 3 or 4 nights in a camp seemed optimal.
Having been on other safaris later in the year it is clear more wildlife sights are likely in the dry season, but the greeness and the dust-free air of April made the challenge of finding the animals a worthwhile counterbalance." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
"Best safari holiday ever"
All lodges, safari drives, transfers excellent. This was by far the best safari trip ever for scenery and wildlife.

"My Oct 2018 trip"
"Well organised and memorable holiday "
The camps were all excellent and well run by friendly staff. Overall, we had a good variety of types of game watching trips (drives, boat, canoe, walking and hides) with knowledgeable guides who put a lot of effort in to searching for animals while spending plenty of time to observe animal behaviour. Although the variety of mammals was not as great as on previous safaris in other countries we had a number of very memorable wildlife experiences.
Many thanks to Megan for her advice and for organizing the holiday which was our third with Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"My Sep 2018 trip"
Have recommended Expert Africa to all travellers we met en route.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
One minor point. Can you add the date (or vesion number) to the text of each version of the paperwork. This is nomal office practice and avoids confusion with multiple updated documents when printed.
We will certainly come to Expert Africa again, but only on condition that I don't have to fill in 200 different reviews online again!" Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Excellent September 18 trip to Zambia"
This was our second trip organised by Expert Africa and we remain very satisfied. All the camps and airlines were made well aware of mobility issues and everyone responded appropriately and sympathetically.
All 3 camps were comfortable and had excellent food and guiding. Every effort was made to co-ordinate the holiday to minimise waiting time on journeys and maximise time in camps.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable safari.
