Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

We had a holiday to Namibia for one week, which is absolutely not enough time. We arranged for a fly-in safari where we flew from Windhoek to Sossusvlei. We spent two days in the beautiful desert, in awe of the ecosystem, dunes, and fiery sunsets. We had a beautiful safari lodge with a view to die for. Then we flew up to Etosha, and were taken aback and how different the environment was. We stayed at a camp that was very welcoming, hospitable, and quite good at taking us out on game drives. We saw more than we bargained for and were very impressed with the guides. I was disappointed when it was over but I have the pictures. When I look at them, I'm in disbelief at how beautiful Namibia is.

Expert Africa was incredibly helpful with arranging my trip to Namibia. I love to plan trips and am quite good with it, but when I opened the Brandt Travel Guide to Namibia, I was immediately overwhelmed. The guide mentioned Expert Africa as a company that the author works for, so I looked it up. I shot off an email not expecting much, but instead I got incredibly responsive and personalized service. It was very in-depth and the agent must have spent a lot of time working out the details of my specific requests with no guarantee that I'd book with them. Ultimately I did, because the trip was planned so perfectly that I would have been a fool to try to arrange any other way. Plus the trip was extremely well priced. I reached out to other companies to try to arrange the same thing in order to price shop, and absolutely it was the lowest price. I was very glad that the agent worked with me and my budget to ensure I got what I wanted but still within my price range. That was absolutely the most impressive part. I absolutely will use Expert Africa for all of my Africa trips from now on.

Watching the pelicans fishing by diving from 10 metres up!

Always there to hand craft our holiday to our changing specification.

We visited Namibia with Expert Africa, who organised an excellent itinerary in a country that we had not been to before. We booked lated but they got us into almost all the locations we wanted and, importantly, seemed to understand what our taste level and requirements were. Taking three children (age 13, 9 and 3) to Namibia is a judgement not to be made lightly because of the vast distances involved and 4-9 hour drives we undertook every two to three days, but if you can plan for such journeys then you will have a great time. The country itself is charming and child-friendly, with no security risks that we came across. We would definitely recommend it.

We visited Namibia with Expert Africa, who organised an excellent itinerary in a country that we had not been to before. We booked lated but they got us into almost all the locations we wanted and, importantly, seemed to understand what our taste level and requirements were. Whilst travelling we met a person who is an independent expert and business consultant in travel safari holidays in Africa and she spoke very highly of Expert African and its founder, in particular mentioning that they are much more commercially independent than many operators, which means they are more likely to recommend what is good for you than what is financially good for them. We would certainly recommend them for trips to Namibia, a country they know particularly well.

This April we went with large family group (7people) to Namibia, combining wildlife viewing with other activities such as dune climbing and kayaking. Highlights included searching for (and finding) desert adapted elephants and kayaking with seals. We also spent time with an absolutely excellent guide at Mushara Bush camp who found us a black rhino and a pride of lions who had just fed, she was knowledgeable about birds as well as mammals and it was a real privilege to spend time with her. The teenagers on the trip said that it was the best thing that they had ever done (despite being without wifi for most of the time!)- praise indeed.

We have travelled with Expert Africa on a number of occasions and always had a good experience. Expert Africa organised a tailor-made itinerary which was near perfect and included booking for restaurants and activities, the attention to detail was impressive. Activities ranged from climbing a dune at dawn to kayaking with seals at Pelican point, plus extensive game viewing and all great fun. The team is extremely knowledgeable about the camps and activities and we always felt confident that they had chosen the best places for our budget.

Expert Africa hired a car for us, booked eleven nights' stay for us in six destinations. All of them were typical of their localities and enabled us to see the sights to best advantage. Sand dunes, seaside holiday, rock carvings and game viewing: Namibia has it all! All done by just handing over what was quite a modest amount of money.

As above: they did all for us with the minimum of effort on our part. We said what we wanted and Expert Africa made it happen. All we had to do was the driving - and that was a pleasure in the excellent hired car.

A nine night, three camp holiday incorporating the Delta and Kalahari areas. We enjoyed excellent, friendly, helpful and efficient service throughout. We came home with many memories of a friendly and welcoming country and its diverse wildlife and landscapes.

Expert Africa. Very efficient and helpful. We have used them before, and would recommend them to anyone.

We had a wonderful Africa experience including a short stay at Victoria Falls, and then 2 stays at safari camps within the Okavango Delta.

Expert Africa helped organise our holiday. They offered good sound advice at all times. They were happy to answer queries quickly and efficiently. We had no problems at all on our hholiday, everything ran smoothly from the moment we picked up the telephone to talk to Expert Africa until we returned home. I would whole heartedly recommentd them.

We experienced two camps in 5 days and were suggested two différents camps who were offering completely different feels. Expert Africa was able to structure our holiday even if we started to plan a bit late for the Easter break which is a very busy period in Botswana.

The are really experienced in that type of holiday. They can recommend the type of camp that best suits your interests, budget and tastes.

We spent five days in Cape Town and then took a privately arranged photography tour in southern Namibia for ten days. When this tour ended, we spent eight days in northern Namibia. Beautiful scenery, amazing adventures, an outstanding guide. Fabulous experiences. One of our best trips.

Our accommodations and transports in Cape Town were arranged by Expert Africa. After our privately booked photography tour in southern Namibia, we were met by our Expert Africa/Ultimate Safaris guide for our eight day northern Namibia tour. Superbly arranged itinerary. Outstanding guide. Expert Africa was a pleasure to work with -- responsive to our questions, very knowledgeable about Cape Town and Namibia, listened to our trip wishes and requests, helpful, and with good advice. We give Expert Africa our highest recommendation.

Gorilla Trekking in Rwanda - Volcanoes National Park A trip that was planned to be for our honeymoon, turned into a surprise engagement that I had organized (I guess I will now need to find another location for our honeymoon :-), although we could always go back!). It was a very special trip for us (and to top it all off, she said 'yes') that exceeded all our expectations. Rwanda is a beautiful country with kind and welcoming people! We stayed in Volcanoes National Park for 3 nights and stayed at the Mountain View Gorilla Lodge and our final night with the surprise proposal at the Virunga Lodge. Trekking with the gorillas is absolutely amazing and would recommend anyone to do this trip! It was a trip of lifetime and one that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!

Expert Africa The team at Expert Africa are fantastic - I was dealing with Liz and communicating with her throughout the entire planning process, especially considering that I was planning the trip as a surprise engagement - she had some great recommendations! I would recommend anyone to use Expert Africa - they are very detailed, professional and always very prompt in their responses with regards to any queries.
