Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

We had our first five nights of our fifteen nights away staying with friends in Cape Town on the Waterfront which was by our own arrangement. After that we collected a hire car and stayed at three further places all arranged by the excellent Claire Scott from Expert Africa. The whole holiday went very smoothly including our flights and transfers with British Airways which were also arranged by Expert Africa. Nothing was too much trouble and and all our queries and requests were handled superbly. We will be visiting South Africa again and would not hesitate to use the same company.

Top class very knowledgeable tour operator. They clearly are experts in their field with information and advice that could only come from people who know their subject inside out.

This was a trip of a lifetime to Kenya and Tanzania. We visited Tortilis Camp for the views of Kilimanjaro plus the animals. Then we moved on to Olakira Camp in the Maasai Mara and had some fantastic animal sightings. We then crossed the border into Tanzania and flew to the South eastern Serengeti to see the thousands of Wildebeest. We stayed in Ndutu Camp and had some great drives seeing some fantastic animal sightings. From there we had a driver/guide to take us to see the Oldupai Gorge and then on to the Ngorongoro Crater where we saw many animals including Black Rhini. Finally we went to Lake Manyara National Park and saw tree lions being driven out of the tree by trumpeting elephants.

Our holiday was organised by Eleanor Dunkels from Expert Africa. She worked in conjunction with us to sort out the safari trip that we wanted so we could include all the places we wanted to visit. Overall it was a superb, fantastic trip and we saw all the things we had hoped to see plus much, much more. With thanks to Eleanor and Expert Africa this became the Holiday Of A Lifetime !

A 16 day safari where virtually everything was perfect was too much to expect but that is what we got.

Nothing was too much trouble.

My safari spending 4 nights at Lake Manze in the Selous and 6 nights at Kwihala in Ruaha, Tanzania was utterly brilliant and the arrangements made by Expert Africa were perfect as always. I have been to Lake Manze twice previously but this was my first visit to Kwihala. Both camps were wonderful and lived up to or exceeded expectations. Expert Africa were as good as ever.

Expert Africa took care of the arrangements for my safari as always with consummate efficiency and attention to detail. Everything ran smoothly and I always appreciate their friendly attention.

My husband and I went to Mozambique, with a short stop in Johannesburg. After a couple of days in Johannesburg we went to Mozambique where we visited Tofo Beach for a week and then stayed with Azura Benguerra for another week. In Azura we had a fenomenal week. Simple and beautiful. After that we flew back for another couple of days in Johburg We loved it all. And will be back to Africa, I hope, soon.

Expert Africa was excellent from planning and quotations steps till the confirmation of all we chose. Our vacations were well executed and Expert Africa helped a lot on the choices we made and then making it all simple in terms of bookings, confirmations and documentations. What we also lide was that they were candid on things they did not thought great. It wasn't all the time a sales pitch, which is good.

So ,all in all, it was a 10 out of 10 and we gave each camp great ratings. Your help in planning our itinerary with me and making it all happen was invaluable. I raved about Expert Africa to the other guests we met! We are very grateful, Claire

EA team members responded quickly and knowledgeably in helping me make plans for this trip. Claire Scott knew all about the camps and areas where we wanted to go and her recommendations were spot on. I think she knew what would work for me before i did! I couldn't have asked for more.

We did a circular tour starting in Windhoek, going up to Etosha, down to Damaraland and into the Namib-Naukluft Desert, ending in Windhoek. We experienced many different things, saw lots of animals and some amazing landscapes while staying in some excellent lodges and guesthouses.

The tour operator gave us useful ideas for planning our trip. We had limited time and wanted to make the best use of it. She suggested places we had not considered and advised against other places we had been interested in. She added a lot of value.

Travel with experienced and highly professional Asilia guide to Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro Crater and Southern Serengeti, overnighting in luxurious tented camps in a wilderness setting. Abundant game viewing in varied habitats with a feeling of exclusivity. Excellent food, drink and service, wherever we went with outstanding customer care.

Pleasant and knowledgeable team who gave great and insightful advice to create a bespoke and memorable holiday. This was our third African safari adventure arranged with Expert Africa and could not recommend this operator more highly.

Our family of five gathered from the USA, Namibia and Mozambique to spend three weeks driving through Namibia to Cape Town, South Africa. We visited the village where our son village teaches English, Etosha, the coast, Sossusvlei, Fish River Canyon, and Cape Town.

Expert Africa did an excellent job organizing our trip. They gave us excellent advice on how to prepare for the trip before we left.

We visited Namibia on a 2 week fly drive. One of the party was 72 years old with mobility difficulties. Excellent and informative service and advice from Expert Africa combined with careful listening to our requirements and very good local knowledge made it an awesome holiday experience.

Expert Africa provide excellent and efficient service. Lots of documented useful and up to date local information is provided which helps avoid pitfalls and ensures a feeling of confidence and safety in the wildest of places. They listen to what you like and want from your holiday and find just the right solutions.
