"We expected the best."
I visited Zimbabwe between 5 Oct 2014 and 16 Oct 2014
"And we think we got it.
A fantastic 9 day 3 location safari with light aircraft transfers between lodges. Clearly Zimbabwe is going through some troubled times but this in no way detracted from our trip, People are genuinely pleased to see you, none of our camps where full and the parks seemed very quiet in terms of visitors, but plenty of game. We had a fantastic trip that will live long in our memory.
A special word for Rhino Safari camp, spend 2 nights here for a totally different amazing experience.

Difficult to suggest an improvement, our second Expert Africa trip, will definitely return." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Zimbabwe safari

"My Oct 2014 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2014 and 15 Oct 2014
"This was our first safari and it exceeded our expectations by a very long margin. The fact that we saw so much wildlife was not down to luck but to on-the-ground expertise by all concerned. The three camps that we visited were all first class and the variation in habitat was ideal.
The advice given to us regarding the choice of country and the compilation of the trip by Nick was first class and the organisation of every element was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to anyone considering a wildlife safari in Africa.

"My Oct 2014 trip"
I visited South Africa and 2 other countries between 1 Oct 2014 and 21 Oct 2014
"First of all we must complement Expert Africa for helping us choose where to go and where to stay, we have had a fantastic time, so many memories . . . .
Everything worked like clockwork - flights, transfers and car hire.
A bonus was being able to dip out of the programme to stay with my sister for a couple of days.
Each element of the holiday - Victoria Falls, Okavango Delta, the Cape were all different but enjoyable in their own way.
One thing that worked particularly well was to have the leisurely stop at Victoria Falls at the beginning of the holiday, and the leisurely shopping stop in Cape Town at the end." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 10 on a South Africa trip

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 29 Sep 2014 and 13 Oct 2014
"The trip was fantastic; all that was expected and more. We thoroughly enjoyed how well everything flowed on this trip and how seemless it was.
All the arrangements were timed perfectly and everyone knew who we were and where we were expected to be. This made for such an enjoyable trip.
We would highly recommend Expert Africa to anyone who has not been to Africa before, or just needs some assistance in planning a trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Botswana safari

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Zimbabwe between 17 Sep 2014 and 4 Oct 2014
"A fascinating experience, very well organised. we not only experienced high quality game drives but also much more of Zimbabwe as well as meeting a very interesting variety of people both local Zimbabwean and from further afield.
We did feel that our requests had been noted and passed on including our celebratory reason for the trip.
There is no separate subheading for transfers and this was an important aspect of our tour. All drivers were efficient, courteous and friendly with the one exception from NJ to Harare airport as already mentioned." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Zimbabwe safari

"A wonderful trip"
I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 16 Sep 2014 and 1 Oct 2014
"The trip was one of the best holidays I have ever been on. The game was exceptional and the camps very comfortable. The other guests were mainly from the USA and a wider mixture would have been interesting but I imagine it is the cost which deters people. I felt it was well worth the money as I have many wonderful memories.
It can not have been easy for Chloe to coordinate this trip for us as I was in France and the UK and my travel companion was in the USA.
Expert Africa - and Chloe - were very helpful in sorting it all out for us and helped us make good choices. Thank you." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Botswana safari

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Zimbabwe between 9 Sep 2014 and 19 Sep 2014
"Starting out at Somalisa was brilliant. It was the basic course that prepared us for the advanced course in bush craft with Stretch at Goliath.
Overall we could not have been more pleased.
The Expert Africa staff, Nick and Claire answered every one of our stupid questions."

"Another trip of a lifetime"
I visited Namibia and 2 other countries between 5 Sep 2014 and 20 Sep 2014
"Everything was excellent but some lodges were phenomenal. Everything went as planned and we saw all the wildlife one could wish to see.
This is our 2nd time with Expert Africa and their service is second to none. They really care about your holiday and try to ensure that your trip matches your needs and expectations. We would have no hesitation in recommending them to our friends. The individual service given by team members esp Maruska and Sabina was exemplary nothing was too much. All my emails and queries answered promptly. The map and info that arrived pre trip was so informative and helpful. Will definitely be using this company again.
