Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"In terms of game viewing experience, quality of accommodations, ease of connecting between camps and overall enjoyment this is the best safari experience we’ve had.

Expert Africa took care of all the details once we landed in Africa, and when we had a flight delay between camps due to weather, our flight schedule and accommodation for an extra night in camp were organized for us without a hitch.

The quality of every camp was just as we expected. The quality of guiding was the highest we’ve experienced. And even after a month of travel we never tired of the delicious and varied menu options.

Expert Africa took care of every detail and Wilderness (plus Green Safaris for one camp) came through in every camp.

The other companies that provided ground and air transportation between countries or camp-to-camp were also efficient and convenient. Excellent trip!" Read full review: 28 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

Logistics are premium." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

"The trip met our expectations (which were high). Having visited Zambia before this trip was equally enjoyable to previous trips. The small camps we visited, our fellow travellers and the camp hosts made it a memorable trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"we had a great trip.

Again a million thanks for all Claire's work in advance of the trip, and Amanda's help "in situ" on October 1st-both re the lost baggage and the medical help + getting hold of a doctor in Lusaka, in record time- 45 minutes!" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Lucy booked our last visit to these camps and we were very pleased that she was able to arrange the return.

The documentation provided by her was extremely clear and the ground arrangements ran like clockwork.

We had a wonderful trip with superb wildlife sightings and experiences in one of our favourite locations." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zambia safari

"Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Expert Africa - in fact have already.!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zambia safari

"The service from Claire at Expert Africa from start to finish was exemplary.

So knowledgeable, extremely responsive and took into account our few comments on the itinerary. This was another fantastic trip.

It is a real priviledge to be able to do walks each morning in such beautiful scenery, seeing wildlife including some of the Big 5 on foot, at a safe distance, and then having the contrast of game drives in the afternoon and early evening.

All meals were superb and the hospitality was excellent." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"Our 2023 trip brought us from Windhoek via Khaudum, Caprivi, Mongu, Kafue to our main destination, the South Luangwa National Park.

We stayed 13 nights in the area.

The 3 nights at the Island Bush Camp were definitely the very best of our trip." Read full review: 3 nights in Africa; 3 on a Zambia safari

"We found Expert Africa very willing to listen to our wishes for our trip and advise and help get it all sorted to best suit us.

Having been to the safari camps before we wanted to organise it based on particular camps and EA were good at getting that done with suitable flights to give us the most of our time out in Zambia.

As for South Luangwa, it is a wonderful place to visit with very good camps (choose carefully with advice and help from EA to suit your wishes and budget).

The wildlife viewing is excellent without the pressure on the animals that can happen in other countries and still with the natural look and feel to the area without some of the unnatural presentation that some countries give.

Not that we can think of right now. Just a big thank you." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zambia safari
