"Zambia - Bush experience at its best"
I visited Zambia between 29 Jul 2009 and 25 Aug 2009
"The economic climate made this trip more expensive than it might have been 12 months earlier. But once you leave Lusaka you can forget the rest of the world, forget money, forget politics, the weather or anything else that disturbs your equilibrium: simply immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the bush. The people involved in putting this bush experience together restore your faith in human nature.
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 visited Zambia and 2 other countries between 23 Jul 2009 and 12 Aug 2009
"Zambia surpassed all expectations.
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

"Another Magical stay in Africa"
I visited Zambia between 15 Jul 2009 and 28 Jul 2009
"We have been on 2 safaris before and this was a really fabulous trip with many highlights, tempting us to try another in a few years' time!
Most people we met were going or had been to Botswana so maybe we should try that destination.
Suggestions for improvements:
Lucy pointed out that we would save the enormous sum of £2,000 between us if we cut our trip by one day, eg into and out of the same airport, Lusaka. We felt this was a very valuable point and it made us book through Expert Africa" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Overall view of holiday."
I visited Zambia between 8 Jul 2009 and 24 Jul 2009
"This trip should have been superb, but DSM's illness restricted our enjoyment.
The aftermath of the gastro-enteritis, which included a broken ankle bone and a thrombosis, will continue to Feb 2010 at least. The gastro-enteritis bug was never identified as DSM was admitted to the Infectious Diseases Unit at Newcastle General Hospital only three weeks after the incident and ten days after we returned home."
