"My Jun 2014 trip"
The sequence of the travel has been very well planned. The information was good.
All lodges were very nice. Each had a different attraction.
The staff and the guides were very friendly and patient.
We saw a lot of animals in different interactions.
The food was great (lots of home made cakes and desserts).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We saw very little insects (also due to the season). Nevertheless I would recommend a white screen to attract them. So you could watch them in the evening." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari
"Our 2014 safari to Zambia"
All of the organisational aspects ran perfectly. We were particularly happy with you advice to take a direct charter from Mwaleshi to Old Mondoro as this saved us so much time – we were in a game vehicle at Old Mondoro by 9.30am. We also had the most remote room in each camp, not sure if this was a coincidence, but we were very happy about this nevertheless.

"A memorable and well-organised trip"
On reflection we might have changed the length of stays towards the end of the trip e.g. an extra day near Victoria Falls and one day less in Hwange N.P. in Zimbabwe. We very much appreciated the advice provided during the planning of our holiday and the information and service given during this process. The brochure and the travel documents supplied were comprehensive and helpful.
We would certainly consider planning/booking another trip with Expert Africa based on our first experience of the company." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

The one comment for change is to offer some diverse activities to break it up a little. Offer something...cooking, yoga, anything!

"Amazing Trip"
The team member who dealt with most of our trip was Gwynneth -- who I know is no longer working at Expert Africa -- but she deserves recognition for all her efforts. I am evaluating Gwynneth below, even though I have to choose a different team member from the drop-down menu" Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 9 on a Namibia trip
"Our best safari so far."
Before the trip when BA changed our flights, Ellie was extremely helpful and diligent in ensuring that the itinerary (that had to be completely revamped) was fine tuned to meet our expectations despite us changing our minds a few times on the routings and camps!. Definitely an 'exceeded expectations' experience." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
"My Oct 2013 trip"
Ellie's guidance on camps was spot on.
My only grouse concerns the BA change of flight - see below." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari
