"Expert advice from Expert Africa"
I visited Zambia between 24 Aug 2007 and 7 Sep 2007
"Anna at Expert Africa sorted out the itinerary very quickly. She provided us with loads of useful pre trip information and the guidebook on Zambia.
I don't tend to use travel agents any more but Expert Africa made the whole holiday booking easier and were able to give first hand information on the places we were going." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zambia safari

I visited Zambia between 20 Aug 2007 and 30 Aug 2007
"Overall we had a wonderful trip.
However we booked this trip because the emphasis was on it being a walking safari. We felt we had to persuade to walk at times, which was disappointing for us. It seemed that some other guests had not been sold it in the same way and were happy to drive.
We have friends who did an almost identical trip through you last year and this was not their experience. Despite the one unfortunate drive we had a really memorable time, and were impressed with the efficiency and smoothness of organisation. Thank you."

"The holiday of a lifetime!"
I visited Zambia between 17 Aug 2007 and 1 Sep 2007
"It was a great experience and one which will stay with us for a long time.
It was worth spending time on the organisation of our itinerary which was about as good as it could have been providing variety and excitement all the way. All in all a brilliant trip." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Zambia safari

"Wild life at its best"
I visited Zambia between 10 Aug 2007 and 26 Aug 2007
"This was a well planned holiday, that was enjoyable in every sense of the word. we will be returning to Zambia and to the same places- and we will book with Expert Africa - there can be no greater accolade.
keep up the good work. speaking to someone who has been to the camps gave a great sense of security to our decisions.
i would recommned that continuing the policy of personal visits be continued. your accurate knowledge was a great selling point" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 12 on a Zambia safari

"We all loved it and can't wait to get back"
I visited Zambia and 1 other country between 3 Aug 2007 and 19 Aug 2007
"Expert Africa helped tailor this trip to our requirements exactly. The first half (Zambia) was our best holiday ever. The second half (Zanzibar) was a bit of an anti-climax and very disappointed with inability to scuba dive.
Anna Devereux is the best travel agent I have ever dealt with. I am quite demanding/ pernickety but she was always more than glad to answer any query with alarming efficiency. As I told her - sometimes it seemed she was working for us and noone else. Her recommendations were spot on. Anna was also willing to get involved when issues came up during the holiday (Zambian airways flight overbooking/ disasterours last-minute trip to Ngorongoro (not booked through Expert)). Real value-added travel agency." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zambia safari

"Trip of a lifetime"
I visited Zambia between 30 Jul 2007 and 15 Aug 2007
"Absolutely out of this world! We feel so privileged to have had such a wonderful experience and have met so many lovely people. The safaris were more than we ever could have dreamed of and we saw absolutely everything we wanted to see and more!
We expected with all the transfers that at some point something might go wrong/ bags be lost etc, but everything went exactly according to plan.
Thank you so much for organising this holiday. We were very sad to have to leave Zambia.
