Zambia

Zambia is well known for excellent guiding and top-class walking safaris.

...while some bushcamps in the South Luangwa exclusively offer walking safaris.

There's always plenty of time in between activities to relax with a drink...

...and watch the local wildlife!

From the smaller animals...

...to the biggest - there's a huge amount of game to be viewed in the different parks.

...you can find more luxurious lodges here as well...

...and every camp goes the extra mile to provide special touches to your safari.

"South Luangwa with Norman Carr Safaris"

I visited Zambia between 10 Sep 2009 and 18 Sep 2009
"We have always wanted to go on a safari holiday and it has taken several years of planning and saving up to finally do it, but this has definitely been the most enjoyable holiday we have ever had and lived up to all our expectations in every way.

We really wanted to be pampered and spoiled, see all the animals in beautiful surroundings and to see as few other people and vehicles as possible and try and get a feel for Africa. South Luangwa delivered the locations and animals and Norman Carr Safaris was staffed by amazing people and run to a higher standard than we could possibly have hoped for. We would recommend it to anyone and plan to go back ourselves in the future.

Suggestions for improvements:

No, everything was perfect." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari

"Trip of a life time."

I visited Zambia between 10 Sep 2009 and 21 Sep 2009
"From my first contact with Expert Africa via Lucy, I was impressed. Lucy went out of her way giving us advice. She listened to what our requirements were (flushing loos and hot showere!) and advised accordingly.

Our disappointment was, as I have said ,Tafika and maybe this is because they are suffering with the recession. Also the other places were so welcoming and accommodating it was made worse by the comparison." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"do repeat a success"

I visited Zambia between 7 Sep 2009 and 22 Sep 2009
"It was great to be back with the Tafica team and their 3 bushcamps. Walking is the activity to do at every opportunity, once you have seen most animals from a truck.

Suggestions for improvements:

lets talk about next year's trip and how about an increasing discount for faithful clients?" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Overall"

I visited Zambia between 7 Sep 2009 and 25 Sep 2009
"Outward flight was awful and not a good start to our holiday.

Both Shenton Camps were excellent - special to Tom in the bush camp - he was a wonderful host.

6 nights at Chongwe was too long, but this happened due to the Bush Buck Camp not opening.

Return flight very uncomfortable - in fact BA was the only reason our level of satisfactory was not higher.

Suggestions for improvements:

No - you are doing a good job!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"An excellent first trip to Namibia."

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 6 Sep 2009 and 24 Sep 2009
"Thank you Sabina and Expert Africa! You certainly have the right company name.

Thanks to your faultless arrangements we had an excellent holiday. From all the communication prior to our trip, to the pack we received with all our vouchers and information regarding our travel, there was nothing else we could have asked for or needed.

I would have no hesitation in using your company again or recommending you to anyone else.

Thank you.

"Our first safari"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 6 Sep 2009 and 16 Sep 2009
"If only I could forget the missing luggage!

However this does not distract from the experience as a whole, which was outstanding. We are not weathy people, we have worked hard and spent the money on a unique experience that will give us many happy memories for the rest of our lives.

I would repeat the trip without hesitation. Thanks to all staff at Expert Africa and at Kwando.

Suggestions for improvements:

No. A great company to deal with. First class service.

(Make it cheaper next time please - but I'm bound to say that)." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Botswana safari

"good but not outstanding safari"

I visited Zambia between 2 Sep 2009 and 16 Sep 2009
"we think the publicity for zambia raises the expectation of seeing leopards too high. the four of us have been on quite a number of safaris but even so we expected to see leopard when of course it is very much in the lap of the gods and we were unlucky."
