Tailor-made Namibia Safari by Intrepid Travellers, 29 Nov 2014
Holiday Rating:

Namibia self drive.

It is surprisingly easy to drive through Namibia if the travel company gives good advice. This is exactly what Expert Africa did, it made our holiday.

Tailor-made Zanzibar Holiday by CY Norfolk, 21 Nov 2014

Superb safari at Kwihala, excellent rest at Pongwe

Brilliant eight day stay at Kwihala, too many highlights to shortlist. A really really good camp. Perfect five day rest at Pongwe afterwards. Pongwe has got better since our first visit several years ago.

Tailor-made Zambia Safari by Mac, 20 Nov 2014

Five weeks in Zambia

A wonderful holiday. We loved the contrasts between South Luangwa, Kafue and Lower Zambezi National Parks. The animals and birds were incredible most especially in South Luangwa. Victoria Falls should not be missed on any trip to Zambia. Finally a tribute to the Zambian people. Wherever we went the warmth and friendliness of these gentle people shone through.

Tailor-made S. Tanzania Safari by Jill from Caernarfon, 17 Nov 2014

Safari and beach in Tanzania

I had started with a charity cycle ride, so needed some quite complex details interlocking with different bookings. James at Expert Africa could not have been more helpful. All of the details that he organised (drivers from domestic airports, hops between safaris etc) all worked superbly. I had challenged him to find me computer access in Dar es Salaam-and he did, which saved me having to take my laptop. Very efficient

Tanzanian Safari and Zanzibar

My trip, through Expert Africa, was nothing short of amazing. It was my first safari and it will not be my last.

Great and varied safari experience in Zambia and Malawi

Well organised and balanced safari trip including the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa in Zambia and Majete in Malawi. We saw everything we wanted to see and more. We want to go back again soon!

Tailor-made Namibia Safari by gingerbred, 12 Nov 2014

Spectacular Namibian Safari

We spent three weeks travelling around Namibia from the amazing sand dunes in the south to the remote animal hide-aways in Damaraland and the pans of Etosha. It lived up to all our expectations We stayed in a variety of accommodation from guesthouses to tents and lodges but found the standards throughout to be excellent and the people we met, whether in the camps or en route, to be unfailingly helpful and courteous.

Rating for tour operator:

From the very first contact, I was impressed by the quality of the agent {Sabina}; not only her detailed knowledge {of her own country} but of her ability to listen to what we had to say {we have been on several safaris before} and to convert that into a manageable, personalised package - a skill not universally shared in the tourist business. The information we were given was impressive and the tour itself went well - apart from British Airways making us miss our connection. But here again Sabina and Expert Africa came to the rescue by organising a catch up flight at very short notice - service you can rarely rely upon these days.

Tailor-made Zambia Safari by Zedtraveller, 9 Nov 2014

Fantastic safari holiday in Zambia

We had 2 weeks in Zambia, spent mostly at 3 lodges in South Luangwa Park. The lodges were all excellent - very comfortable accommodation, good food and excellent guiding. The wildlife sightings were incredible, especially of leopards and lions- far better than we'd had on previous safaris in Botswana and Namibia. Would have loved to have been able to spend longer there.

Rating for tour operator:

Very knowledgeable about the area, responded quickly to questions and concerns. Provided good pre-departure information and contacts in case of problems during the trip.
