Zambia: reviews from our travellers

"Every expectation I had about our trip to Africa was fulfilled, it was a truly magical experience that I will never forget.

I cannot thank Maruska enough for the itinerary she arranged for us. I loved the different terrain we experienced in the different camps and the camps themselves." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Botswana safari

"This was a great trip - everything we had hoped for. The combination of walking and driving was perfect for us. The closeness to the environment on the walks was exactly what we wanted.

Somehow the Norman Carr guides always told us something new on our walks - serendipity or planning? We will never know. Nsolo was our favourite camp. We are tempted to return in the wet season." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"All in all a really fantastic trip pulled together relatively last minute by Tracy.

All the transfers were seamless, which is always really nice when they work.

Exceeded our expectations overall and would highly recommend Tracy and Expert Africa to anyone travelling to Namibia, Botswana. and Victoria Falls.

Her knowledge of the area and what to expect was invaluable.

Wish we had more time." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 7 on a Namibia trip

"This was a marvellous trip, partly because we visited some amazing places which showed completely different aspects of Africa but partly because of the effort put into planning the holiday by Megan at Expert Africa. She was endlessly patient and wanted to get the trip absolutely right for us whilst staying within our budget. We were happy to take Megan's suggestions which proved to be absolutely spot on for us.

Many thanks for helping us to have such a great introduction to Africa. We will be back!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Perhaps you could explain the varied nature of some of the transfers more clearly. We were surprised by the number of different drivers we had going from Livingstone to Muchenje and the transfer to the small boat across the Zambesi seemed somewhat precarious, (and hilarious!) but having said that it did all work! It was not quite what we expected but certainly gave us a feeling of adventure and Africa from the start!

I think that the organisation is to be congratulated on such an efficient and personal service. Many thanks" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 4 on a Botswana safari

"It would be wrong not to mention Tour Africa (or is it Tours Africa) who did the whole "meet and greet" thing - they were brilliant whenever we met them.

The whole trip was seamless - I do not wear a watch so have no idea of date or time and I didn't need one. Whenever we were supposed to move on, we were told in good time and passed from one place to another. So relaxing - Expert Africa's planning had everyone where they should have been when they should have been. Thank you so much." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Zambia safari

"My mom and I we had a wonderful trip.

I was a bit nervous at the beginning as at 74 it was her first trip to Africa ever, but everything was perfectly organized and the staff at all 4 camps/lodges were extremely warm and welcoming so that she felt perfectly looked after at all times.

Thanks to Claire's perfect planning and the great people at the camps, we had a fantastic time together and enjoyed every minute of our holiday!

"Thoroughly enjoyed my holiday, and the game viewing in South Luangwa in late August/early September was truly unforgettable.

Five nights in Lower Zambezi was probably a bit long for me, as the game was not as good, but it is a beautiful area and good for relaxing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"From the moment we first approached you about this trip to our arrival back at Heathrow, the whole thing has been superbly managed. Thanks to you and all concerned.

"We've had a fantastic trip to Zambia (Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa) beating all our expectations.

The itinerary was perfect, the accomodations excellent, the wildlife spectacular and as one of multiple highlights we saw even wild dogs on our transfer from Chikoko Tree Camp to Lunagwa River Camp when passing the Nsefu sector - really amazing!
Hope to come back soon to these beautiful places!!!

No - everything was perfect !!!
This was our second trip with Expert Africa (2012 Victoria Falls & Botswana) and we've had the same great experience with excellent service, good advice and unbeatable friendly and helpful team members!!!!

Dear Ellie - thanks again so much for all your efforts and I would be happy if you would help us again when planning another trip to Africa!

All the best
