"Best.Trip.Ever."
Everything about our itinerary was well designed, and we were never rushed. For example, the night in Jo-burg to rest and explore a bit before flying the next day to Maun to begin our safari was well enjoyed. The night in Livingstone between Botswana and Zambia was also well received and taken advantage of to rest. The camps were also laid out in a manner where it felt like every camp we went to was a little bit more luxurious than the prior one, so it kept feeling like we were spoiled over and over - all of the camps exceeded our expectations as well.
We had zero travel issues, everything ran seamlessly! One issue popped up where our itinerary said alcohol was included at one camp, and the camp staff upon check-in insisted that alcohol is never included there. We emailed Expert Africa and they sorted it out within two hours.
Our safety was never a concern, and the trip kept getting better and better! We highly recommend Expert Africa, and both Botswana and Zambia." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"First trip to Zambia"
"Our August/September Rwanda and Zambia trip"
Rwanda was great to see the gorillas. they were magic.
Zambia, though was marvellous. We have been to places in Namibia, Botswana and Tanzania before and we really enjoyed them. However when/if we return to Africa we will go back to Zambia: Kafue and South Luangwa. The people were terrific overall, and we saw a variety of wildlife and birdlife.

The guiding was fantastic!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari
"Namibia and Zambia August to September 18"
In Namibia, I found Sossusvlei and Damaraland stunningly beautiful and photogenic. Ongava/Etosha proved rich in wildlife and the highlight for me was definitely the tracking of Rhinos on foot.
I was delighted to finish my trip in Lower Zambezi, Zambia for the excellent wildlife sightings at Old Mondoro .. I returned to Chongwe River Camp for the 5th time and enjoyed every minute of my stay.. The location by the river is stunning, the team is incredibly welcoming and their attention to details made my last week perfect! I cant wait to return!"

"South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi"
We would gladly go back to Zambia and visit these parks again. We enjoyed every camp, with Kafunta best for driving, Island Bush and Three Rivers best for walking, and Chongwe best for boating and canoeing.
Expert Africa's arrangements worked perfectly, with all transfers on time and no difficulties with any of the reservations." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"Our First Safari"
At the suggestion of Expert Africa we had a late change to our itinerary to include a Stopover in Lusaka for the first night and it made a huge difference. Rather than arrive at the first camp late in the day and tired we were able to arrive at lunchtime and were much more refreshed. Would definitely recommend this approach."
