"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Zambia between 17 Sep 2024 and 29 Sep 2024
"I always recommend your company to others and did so again on this trip!

Lucy was so helpful as health challenges kept cropping up prior to departure. She was reassuring and helpful with dealing with a cancellation of my other traveler. She encouraged me to travel solo and I am so grateful she did, as it was an amazing trip.

I would also like to thank her for having people on the ground meeting me in Lusaka and Jburg to navigate airports when there were tight connections, and transfer to hotel in Lusaka.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

None. I loved the trip and Lucy was terrific!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"My Aug 2024 trip"

I visited Zambia between 17 Aug 2024 and 3 Sep 2024
"From the initial conversation with Claire Scott as we framed the itinerary to the end of the trip, the service from Expert Africa was faultless.

The deep understanding of what to expect at each camp from having had first hand experience by visiting makes a lot of difference and is a differentiator from some other companies that offer an extremely wide range of trips with 'experts" covering many countries.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, despite racking my brains before answering!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"Return to Zambia 2024"

I visited Zambia between 21 Jul 2024 and 5 Aug 2024
"We very much enjoyed our second trip to the Luangwa Valley and saw the leopard that had eluded us last time.

If you want a more active safari (ie walking) that looks at the large animals and the little insects, with knowledgeable guides and relatively little chance of seeing other people, we would strongly recommended Remote Africa Safaris." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2024 Luangwa trip"

I visited Zambia between 11 Jul 2024 and 28 Jul 2024
"We were very pleased with our Expert Africa experience.

Everything went smoothly and the trip was just as we expected.

This safari experience, in both the south and north, was very special. All the staff were very welcoming and Vel immediately made us feel at home.

As we moved from camp to camp we found each guide and team to be extremely knowledgeable. We learnt such a lot and saw such a lot and, although we frequently got things wrong, Amon was very patient and always thanked us for trying!

We had everything provided for a seamless stay in all the camps and needn't have brought hand-wash, bodywash, shampoo, conditioner, washing powder and insect repellent - and water bottles.

The food in each camp was amazing. So much choice and always freshly prepared. The garden at Tafika has inspired us to try our hand at growing sweet

Our thanks to everyone for such a memorable trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Not really. We could only think that perhaps knowing about the toiletries provided would have saved us weight in our luggage for the RAS flight. Not a big deal!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2024 trip"

I visited Zambia between 30 Jun 2024 and 14 Jul 2024
"The tie between BA and Airlink works extremely well and makes travelling beyond SA straight forward.

We enjoyed the ethos of Remote Africa Safaris very much. Good camps and staff and a lovely remote feel.

The wildlife in north luangwa is skittish and elusive. But we enjoyed the walking very much, and the more prolific and habituated wildlife of the South Park.

We enjoyed the RAS flights with Lian very much. He is very personable as well as a good pilot and a great asset to RAS." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"My Jun 2024 trip"

I visited Zambia between 13 Jun 2024 and 28 Jun 2024
"I really enjoyed going on Safari in Zambia for the first time after many safaris in other parts of Africa.

Very friendly and relaxed experience, less commercial and crowded than Tanzania and Kenya.

Visited the Lower Zambezi and South and North Luangwa parks and especially loved North Luangwa which is still an incredibly unspoiled and wild place. A real wilderness experience !

I loved the abillity to do long walking safaris mixed with more traditional game drives and boat/canoe safaris.

Exceptional guiding and overall great game viewing with the highlight being 3 consecutive days of watching a pack of 17 wild dogs hunting/killing buffalo, waterbuck and impala." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"My Oct 2023 trip"

I visited Zambia between 11 Oct 2023 and 25 Oct 2023
"I absolutely loved this trip.

Having only been to Botswana before, but also knowing the kind of camps I enjoy, Chris and Megan Green were able to consult with me regarding where and what I wanted to see in Zambia. They were bang-on in their suggestions. (I absolutely loved the walking camps - you guys are rock stars). I know, the suggestion for team member shows Chris McIntyre, but a special mention has to please go out to Megan Green who put this whole trip together, and dealt with all my questions and concerns.

Expert Africa, are indeed every indicator of their name. They are just simply the experts. I trust in every aspect of the process......the knowledge they possess of all the areas is unmatched. A very special thank you to Chris McIntyre, and Megan Green to put together this first trip to Zambia - with mind for future travels.

I absolutely loved the feeling of raw, real, authentic, rugged Zambia.

It was everything I'd hoped for and more." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

They know Africa inside out and their people have visited the destinations, so they know what they are talking about and can tailor make your trip to suit your needs.

"Back to Zambia"

I visited Zambia between 28 Sep 2023 and 11 Oct 2023
"The trip confirmed that Zambia remains my favourite safari destination in Africa, with its wonderful small, family-owned camps and unbeatable driving and walking safaris.

No; I'm a longtime client of EA and was pleased with the service once again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari
