"This was the best trip we ever had. It was only spoiled by:

. pre-booking very significant hiccups (our trip was for its main part "organised" by Anna Devereux....) and we met people while in Zambia who had the same encounter.

. Kaingo, definitely a no-return

. BA return flight" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"As a whole the trip was excellent, although somewhat marred by our time at Kaingo which was disappointing and Pioneer camp and lack of food on the return flight.

However, this does not detract from what was on the whole a very enjoyable trip.
Lucy was like a breath of fresh air after the earlier mishaps with regards to our booking and we much appreciated Chris's offer of the flight out upgrade." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"The trip was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary, and it was fabulous.

We have been to Namibia and Zambia before, but this was so very different.

We loved every bit of it and all the arrangements ran like clock work." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Namibia trip

"This was an amazing honeymoon, enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the beaches in Mozambique before heading into the Botswanan delta to two Kwando camps and then onto Tongabezi near Livingstone.

Expert Africa organised the whole thing brilliantly and are incredibly helpful, professional and flexible. Thank you." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Mozambique holiday

"It has been really a wonderful experience, in terms of places visited, people met and service received, so I want to thank you for the assistance received during this holiday, and also all the staff of Norman Carr Safaris, especially to the ones not mentioned in my feedback that did a great job behind the scenes!

For sure I will suggest Expert Africa as tour operator to everyone who will ask me about Zambia!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"we were very pleased with how smoothly the entire trip went, especially as this was Africa and we were prepared for the unexpected.


We were surprised at the quality of the service with SA airlines and the only small criticism was that we were not met very efficiently at Lilongwe airport on our arrival from Mfui. I went chasing around the airport asking for Robin Popes representatives to be told by actual driver that someone should have told us where he was. But after this hiccough, he was very amenable and indeed drove us perfectly to Pumulani. So, perhaps, this was just a misunderstanding at the airport.

Overall, we had a wonderful time, thank you" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
