Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Big thanks to Maruska! The whole trip was as close to perfect as it gets.

From the start of planning right until the end, I thought we have always been comfortable with the advice / guidance and all our concerns and questions have been addressed.

"This is our second time travelling with Expert Africa and we were once again very happy with our experience. This is especially considering the many times we had to re-book due to Covid! EA worked hard to make sure we still got the experience we wanted and we are massively appreciative of that.

Megan gave excellent advice on where we should stay and was very patient with my many questions and changes of mind during planning. I always love that with EA you get one person who sticks with you from the first enquiry until you're safely home (In this case extra impressive when my first email exchange with Megan about this trip was Nov 2018!!).

I also appreciate that, unlike many travel agents, EA will happily communicate predominantly by email. This just suits me so much better around work and gives me a record of all the information for discussion with the rest of the group. The superbly detailed and easy to read information on the website is also a big plus.

Additional thanks to Chris, who responded personally when I had concerns about re-booking during Covid. It's also a lovely touch to get your guide book with a booking. Due to unforeseen circumstances, it was our only reading material for most of the trip so it's been read cover-to-cover and we're looking forward to a sequel!

Thanks again Expert Africa - we'll be back when the savings have replenished enough for another go!! (North & South Luangwa? Maybe Etosha... so many places to see!)" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Botswana safari

"We loved every minute of our trip.

It was very well planned, lots of different activities and sceneries. All the transfers went smoothly.

All in all a truly wonderful holiday! We will always remember these special 2 weeks!

"My 14 day stay in the Luangwa valley was a wonderful safari. I loved the landscape, wildlife was abundant, especially seeing the wild dogs and so many leopards was impressive. The guiding is of a very high level, which I appreciate. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.
My trip was postponed twice, and I want to thank ExpertAfrica/Lucy Copson and the camps (Robin Pope Safaris and Shenton Safaris) for their flexibility." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Zambia safari

"Our holiday was outstanding.

We weren't sure what to expect travelling to Africa so soon after international borders started to open again, but we were delighted with how quickly tourism has found its feet again in Namibia, Zambia and Rwanda. Our self drive in Namibia felt perfectly safe, and our first time to Zambia now won't be our last.

Claire did a great job with our covid delayed trip. Fantastic support on the trip with CV 19 testing issues for Rwanda as a result of delayed airlines. Accommodation particularly in Zambia was outstanding." Read full review: 29 nights in Africa; 15 on a Namibia trip

"My trip to Zambia was stunning.

The itinerary was sympathetically worked out keeping my preferences and budget firmly in mind. Everything went like clockwork and I was able to relax and really enjoy the whole experience, despite the extra demands and requirements covid has brought to travel today.

Expert Africa was reassuring and encouraging and the trip exceeded all my expectations. The knowledge and information available through Expert Africa was invaluable in putting together a trip I shall never forget and right throughout the journey I knew Expert Africa had my back should something go wrong. This let me relax and thoroughly enjoy an unforgettable African holiday.

Zambia's wildlife and facilities at my destinations were amazing. The friendliness and professionalism of the people involved made the experience very enjoyable.

I hope this won't be my last trip with Expert Africa to the beautiful continent." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"The overall trip was amazing. Two different locations Lower Zambezi and Luangwa. Three camps each one different.

Old Mondoro small intimate bush camp. Puku ridge luxurious and Chiawa some where in between. Interesting the habitat from Old Mondoro and Chiawa is quite different even though only 40 kms down/ upstream.

Seeing both Leopards and Wild dogs make a kill was very special and a rare event on safari.

"This started out as a once in a lifetime trip but as we travelled further in to Africa we decided we will definitely go back!!!!

I would have packed a little differently than I did. Taking 2 pair of thermal underwear would have been useful, as our nights and morning game drives were quite cold. We also had banking issues along the way. Even though we had given our bank all of our travel information we still had issues at ATMs. We should have brought far more cash with us than we did.

The people, the environment, and the animals were incredible!! Africa is something everyone should experience if they can.

We will go back!!!!!

The only problems with this holiday was getting to and from Zambia, which we arranged ourselves, we will rethink this for next time and try to find an easier way to do it." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"I would do it again, but not in May!

I prefer a hotter climate and feel that the animal sightings are easier in early September.
