"My Jun 2024 trip"
We did not encounter any difficulties before or during the trip, the information that was provided to us in advance was very useful.

We felt that what makes the experience really memorable are the guides working at camps.

"Shy animals, still loved it."
I'm sure in the dry season the Hwange camps in particular, with their waterfalls, would offer outstanding experiences. That said, the landscape was lovely--despite the drought, there had been recent rains in Hwange to green up the plains (and also create standing water) and there were several highlights to remember--the group of sable (an antelope I had never seen), the jackals and dozens of vultures diving into the bushes where the remains of a buffalo lay, then exploding outward as someone took fright--the highly vocal lion cubs yowling and yowling--the staredown between a giraffe and lion. . .
I particularly enjoyed the vast open spaces of Hwange and the frequent sense of being alone in the landscape (i.e. no other vehicles around)." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zimbabwe safari
"Our Oct 2023 trip"
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
"My Aug 2023 trip"
My son and I had the luxury of our own guide and jeep for most of our outings. We found the more experienced guides to be the best and most enthusiastic.
I have used Expert Africa for quite a few safari trips and each has been superb." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"
Could not fault Expert Africa who we have travelled with many times and keep coming back to as they are excellent at all the logistics and we never have had a problem.
We never have to worry that we will be stranded on an air strip somewhere!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zambia safari
