"Trip of a life time."
Our disappointment was, as I have said ,Tafika and maybe this is because they are suffering with the recession. Also the other places were so welcoming and accommodating it was made worse by the comparison." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"Overall"
Both Shenton Camps were excellent - special to Tom in the bush camp - he was a wonderful host.
6 nights at Chongwe was too long, but this happened due to the Bush Buck Camp not opening.
Return flight very uncomfortable - in fact BA was the only reason our level of satisfactory was not higher.

"Magical Safari!"
Everything more or less worked like clock work and I felt we got the most out of each camp we stayed at. It was just a wonderful experiencece and I would highly recommend Zambia for safari .
I loved Expert Africa's website and this is how I discovered the company. The pricing was also fair and I will use Expert Afirica for my next safari .It was truly a magical trip so thanks for your wonderful expertise!

Umm..not really..had to ask a few questions prior to going about logistics of meet and greet. But, I truly felt that I was in great hands as Anna had been to these lodges and listened to what I wanted from this safari." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia - Bush experience at its best"
This was a great trip, but then again I have never had a bad trip in Africa. The dilema, as ever, is whether to return again or move on and extend your experiences. Would we go back - no question!
Suggestions for improvement:
This was a trip difficult to criticise - and certainly in terms of planning and booking there were no questions left unanswered and no issues that caused a problem. You know when the ref has had a good game, you don't hear the whistle. Expert seem to handle things much the same way. Thank you." Read full review: 27 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
"Zambia 30 years on!"
I wanted to go back to Zambia where I grew up and give my family a positive snapshot of the country. The Victoria Falls is indeed a natural wonder of the world and the helicopter flight along the gorges was thrilling.
Robin Pope Safaris were exceptional to the point that nothing else measured up! We saw all the game we had hoped to see and discovered the magnificent birds of Southern Africa. It was a pleasure to be in the company of such wonderful guides and staff.
My husband and youngest daughter are now converts to river fishing, having enjoyed it so much on the "Mighty Zambezi!"
Mozambique, Bazuruto Island was disappointing because of the activity staff's failure to engage with us. I would not recommend the resort to people who are not going to sunbathe all day." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari
