"South Luangwa and Lower Zambezi August 2024"
We loved the informal, friendly atmosphere of Lion Camp. The wildlife was plentiful, the game drives were full on and we found we did not have time to freshen up before dinner (we could have asked to return a bit earlier, but did not want to miss anything!).
We found the atmosphere at Anabezi slightly more formal, but equally welcoming and friendly. The structure of the day there meant that we had more time to relax between game drives and overall the pace felt more leisurely.
A perfect trip, thank you!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"My Aug 2024 trip"
Apart from my flight cancellation (nothing to do with Expert Africa) my entire trip went without a hitch and the the camps that I visited met (or exceeded) expectations, with a high standard of service and organisation.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not really. The only point that I would raise is maybe the proximity of the rondavels in Nsefu, which is not ideal for people seeking privacy." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Return to Zambia 2024"
If you want a more active safari (ie walking) that looks at the large animals and the little insects, with knowledgeable guides and relatively little chance of seeing other people, we would strongly recommended Remote Africa Safaris." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Our June 2024 trip to LZ and SL"
This was a special trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and she delivered on all counts - we were able to get the chalets of our choice, were treated to a couple of romantic private dinners at Old Mondoro and Tafika, and had amazing guides at all our camps.
A trip we will hold close to our hearts forever!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2024 trip"
Very friendly and relaxed experience, less commercial and crowded than Tanzania and Kenya.
Visited the Lower Zambezi and South and North Luangwa parks and especially loved North Luangwa which is still an incredibly unspoiled and wild place. A real wilderness experience !
I loved the abillity to do long walking safaris mixed with more traditional game drives and boat/canoe safaris.
Exceptional guiding and overall great game viewing with the highlight being 3 consecutive days of watching a pack of 17 wild dogs hunting/killing buffalo, waterbuck and impala." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I would not return to the lodges that we stayed in in Zimbabwe, we didn't have a great experience there. There was a mix up with Khulu Bush Camp and our departure time was moved back and we were never told, that ended up being a very long day and we would have preferred to fly. Two of our travel days were very long and we never got to eat lunch, it was not clear from the itinerary how long they would be. Our Mack Air flights ended up having multiple stops that we weren't aware of, it would have been nice to have more information about those flights."
