Reviews of safaris to Northern Zambia

"Well-organised, pleasant trip that was in all respects what we had hoped for, no unpleasant surprises, very efficiently organised without any delays. Thank you, Claire

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Maybe some more attention for Kafue would help the development of this enormous park. More facilities and more tourism may help in the struggle against poaching.

The same goes for Kasanka which is interesting for birders." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Management, guides, general staff superb.

Transfers worked like clockwork and there was always someone to guide us to the next destination.

Apart from Busanga game was excellent as were the three camps.
Shiwa was an wonderful experience as already mentioned.

Only downside was the tsetses in Kafue, would actually prevent us returning there.

As previous users of Wilderness camps in other African countries it would be helpful to see in your brochure which ones belong to them." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"Overall our trip was excellent.

Once again the advice and recommendations from Expert Africa allowed us to plan a trip that met our needs and expectations. No doubt other camps in South Luangwa are also very good but Kaingo Camp met or exceeded our goals and expectations for this trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The Expert Africa website remains one of the most thorough and informative websites I have encountered and the staff we worked with on this trip and our previous trip to Botswana were superb.

I will use Expert Africa again when we next have an opportunity to travel to Africa." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

This was our first experience of arranging a bespoke holiday through an agent such as Expert Africa. We were very satisfied with the service." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zambia safari

"One of the best trips we've ever done (and we've done a few similar).

The four places we visited were all excellent in different ways, which was what we hoped for. We have been to Zambia three times before at the end of the dry season, and we wanted to see it at a different time of year and visit new places. Mutininondo and Shiwa were recommendtaions from people we'd met on previous trips, and Claire was able to reassure us that they would be good so we were dleighted that they were. Claire's recommendation to go to Shoebill was also excellent.

All in all, a wondeful experience, great scenery, excellent wildlife and we met some very interesting people.

Suggestions for improvements:

Can't think of anything. Efficient, friendly service. Helpful in setting everthing up kept us infomed about changes." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"A fantastic holiday in a great country.

Laundry service was really excellent and did make taking limited luggage very feasible.
It was great that we could drink the water at the Bush Camps and at the Livingstone Hotel.
Great problem buying postcards - we only really found any in Lusaka at the end of our trip.

Suggestions for improvement:

Mention that when going to Shiwa they only take one party at a time, even if it only consists of one person.

Suggest travellers take pens to give to children. Also could take old training shoes to give away or use as part trade for crafts." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"It was a great experience and one which will stay with us for a long time.

It was worth spending time on the organisation of our itinerary which was about as good as it could have been providing variety and excitement all the way. All in all a brilliant trip." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari
