"My July 2022 trip"
I visited Zambia between 10 Jul 2022 and 24 Jul 2022
"As for all of our previous visits to Africa with you, we had an amazing time thanks to your knowledge of the options you could lay before us and your understanding of what we were looking for.
Although much delayed by Covid and changed by the demise of a business we had been particularly keen to walk with, you helped us to refine our plans and eventually delivered a wonderful, life affirming experience full of excitement and interest."

"My Jul 2022 trip"
I visited Zambia between 10 Jul 2022 and 22 Jul 2022
"I understood I’d been booked to stay at Latitude 15 because there wasn’t an afternoon Proflight service to Mfuwe.
Discovered from fellow passengers that there was and would much rather have travelled straight on for an extra night in the park.
I appreciated the personal service and being kept up to date during the two years since my trip was first booked. Trying times for everyone, I know." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"My June 2022 trip"
I visited Zambia between 26 Jun 2022 and 19 Jul 2022
"A great trip that was full of amazing sightings, lovely people and wonderful locations.
This trip was originally booked for 2020 but had to be moved due to Covid. It was actually rearranged a number of times with date changes, lodge availability and international flight bookings all having to be taken into account on each occasion.
Expert Africa handled all these efficiently and did their very best to put together an itinerary that worked for us. This was done whilst also handling changes from their other customers.
Many thanks for organising a memorable and enjoyable trip. L&S" Read full review: 23 nights in Africa; 19 on a Zambia safari
