"My Jul 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia between 8 Jul 2022 and 23 Jul 2022
"Excellent trip, nice mix of camps. Nice pre and post hotel in Lusaka. Tours Africa very good also. Logistics worked like clockwork.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Nothing to say, everything was great. Thanks especially to Maruska for all the rework and her patience during the Covid period. We got there in the end and we're very appreciative." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"My Jul 2022 trip"

I visited Zambia between 4 Jul 2022 and 15 Jul 2022
"We love working with Maruska and Expert Africa! This is our 4th trip she has helped us with and she knows exactly what will be a good fit for us. She went above and beyond to make this trip as wonderful as it was. After 3 years of waiting and rebooking due to covid we can't thank Maruska enough for all of her efforts and patience. Can't wait to book our next safari with Maruska and the Expert Africa team.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: Nothing needs improving! We've been thrilled with every trip you have helped us with. Hopefully you can add Uganda to your services so we can plan a Rwanda + Uganda gorilla trekking safari." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"I have become a big fan of walking safaris !"

I visited Zambia between 6 Jul 2021 and 16 Jul 2021
"I think that this was one of my very best holidays I ever had.

Walking safari was something new to me (actually safari as a whole was new to me) and it has surpassed all my expectations. I am convinced that this is the very best way to visit the bush, much much better than driving.

You do see less wildlife, especially the predators seem difficult to meet on a walk, but you learn so much more and each encounter is just so much more emotional.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Not really. I just want to emphasize how important my relationship with Lucy (at Expert Africa) was in the preparation. She has just been fantastic, solving all problems which were being created by constant changes to my flights because of the airlines.

Had it not been for Lucy being so helpful, I may have given up travelling this year and postponed my trip to 2022 or 2023." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"Luwanga trip"

I visited Zambia between 28 Sep 2019 and 9 Oct 2019
"A good balance between locations, walkinig and driving safaris.

It fulfilled our brief.

We didn't thoroughly read the travel information until the last moment. This meant hurried purchase of soft luggage which worked well." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Zambia 2019"

I visited Zambia between 20 Jul 2019 and 4 Aug 2019
"This was a fantastic trip - many thanks to Claire.

The remoteness we experienced in North Luangwa in particular, and the quality of the guiding plus the lack of other vehicles in all the places we visited, were really very special indeed.

Walking in the bush, particularly with Remote Africa, was both immersive and addictive and coupled with the smaller, rustic nature of the camps we stayed at throughout the holiday has very much whetted our appetites for more!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

Mwaleshi Camp

Mwaleshi Camp

Mwaleshi is a particularly remote and rustic bushcamp in North Luangwa National Park that concentrates purely on walking safaris. It's very small, but run by a top-quality operation – so come here for walking safaris run by super guides and an excellent wildlife experience.
