"This was a very enjoyable holiday involving an overnight stay in Lusaka, three camps, three internal flights and a boat transfer between two camps. All the arrangements worked out well with no problems. It was helpful to be met at Lusaka airport on two arrivals and departures, and guided through procedures there (including on best passport/visa queue). The advice in the Expert Africa Zambia booklet about checking the correct number of days on the Visa was pertinent as the officer misheard and initially gave us too short a period - but it was quickly corrected when we pointed out the error.

The camps were all excellent and well run by friendly staff. Overall, we had a good variety of types of game watching trips (drives, boat, canoe, walking and hides) with knowledgeable guides who put a lot of effort in to searching for animals while spending plenty of time to observe animal behaviour. Although the variety of mammals was not as great as on previous safaris in other countries we had a number of very memorable wildlife experiences.

Many thanks to Megan for her advice and for organizing the holiday which was our third with Expert Africa." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"We were pleasantly surprised throughout our trip and would definitely recommend this to friends and family. I would enjoy seeing the same area a little earlier in the year, when it was a bit more green as it had been very dry for many months. Accomodations were excellent and locations of the camps were wonderful.

The abundant wildlife was a pleasure to watch and photograph. The jeeps were outfitted well for photography and guides were exceptional. Loved it all!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"We enjoyed this trip but not as much as other safaris as the number and variety of animals was disappointing." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"The trip was very well-planned to suit our interests and our needs. Freddie was very responsive to us and understood what we were looking for and what we were capable of.

This was our second trip organised by Expert Africa and we remain very satisfied. All the camps and airlines were made well aware of mobility issues and everyone responded appropriately and sympathetically.

All 3 camps were comfortable and had excellent food and guiding. Every effort was made to co-ordinate the holiday to minimise waiting time on journeys and maximise time in camps.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable safari.

"Our 9th time to Zambia and it remains our favorite safari destination.

The camps are all well organised and comfortable and everyone is so friendly.

S Luangwa shows noticeable increase in visitors but game superb and camps becoming more luxurious.

Less walking offered up front and we needed to make it clear that we were repeat visitors who wanted to walk..

Kafue was an experiment in contrast and suited us perfectly. Hope to be back.

Thanks once again.

Expert Africa bookings are well regarded at all camps and we have no intention of booking with anyone else having heard horror stories of other agents" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"My husband and I, and our two sons (aged 16 and 18) took this vacation just before our 18 year old went to college, so we wanted to spend quality time together. This trip exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we got off the plane in Lusaka, and were met by a driver, to the moment we were dropped back at Victoria Falls airport on our last day, the trip exceeded our expectations.

With the number of connections, hotels, drivers, activities etc that we built in, we were expecting complications and disasters, but every single thing happened smoothly, exactly as we were told it would.
We can't thank Lucy enough!!

Given the overall trip, we would return to Mwaleshi and Tafika. We probably wouldn't return to Davisons Camp or to Victoria Falls.

Thank you so much for everything you did.

"Trip was outstanding and one of best experiences we have had.

Trip was seamless and made easy by Expert Africa. Enjoyed staying at the lodges that were very personal and gave back to the local people. Experiences at each destination were wonderful.

Zambia has found its way into my heart! Everything was just perfect!

"This was our first real safari and we choose Expert Africa through Personal recommendation. We found them to be very helpful with very good advice on which camps to choose for what we wanted to get out of the holiday.

At the suggestion of Expert Africa we had a late change to our itinerary to include a Stopover in Lusaka for the first night and it made a huge difference. Rather than arrive at the first camp late in the day and tired we were able to arrive at lunchtime and were much more refreshed. Would definitely recommend this approach."
