Expert Africa Traveller Reviews

Two weeks of self driving throughout Namibia, staying at lodges in unique habitats or locations in the country. 2-3 days at each location, enjoying the knowledge of local guides as we toured private reserves and national parks. The trip was bookended by stays at nicer lodges and hotels to ease the effects of jet lag from the USA and end our travel on a high note.

Fantastic tour company that has now organized 2 month-long trips for our small group to various parts of Southern Africa in the last 5 years. Numerous conversations to create an itinerary of lodges and activities to suit our tastes and budgets. Responsive staff with in-country experience that cannot be overemphasized for its contribution to a successful trip. Thanks again to Tracy and the staff at Expert Africa!

Wonderful trip back to our happy place--the African bush. The sights, the bird song, the smells--there is nothing else like it. Added a few days at Babylonstoren and then a final few nights in Capetown. It was fabulous.

Expert Africa are our go-to for trips to AFrica. Their expertise is exceptional and their trip planning impeccable.

We had a wonderful honeymoon trip to Kenya and Tanzania. We spent 4 nights in Kenya (3 of them on Safari) and the rest in Tanzania split between safari and Zanzibar. We stayed at 4 different safari camps in the Maasai Mara, Serengeti, and Ruaha, and each of them was incredible. Our honeymoon was the trip of a lifetime and now we can't wait to plan our next safari adventure.

Expert Africa planned our 2+ week honeymoon trip to Kenya and Tanzania (incuding Zanzibar) in August 2021. It was originally planned for summer 2020 but due to covid had to be rescheduled. The Expert Africa team is professional and skillful at what they do. This was our first safari, and they delivered 1000%! While on safari we heard stories from other travelers about bad experiences with travel companies who had booked poor accomodations, planned flights that they couldn't make, and all other sorts of mishaps. We didn't have a single thing go wrong on our trip which was slightly over two weeks long! When I say everything went off without a hitch, I mean it. And that is saying a lot given that we traveled during covid and had to have covid tests every time we changed locations. We had the pleasure of working to put together an itinerary that fit our budget, timeline, and requests. The team was willing to go through things with us multiple times until we landed on the perfect trip. And it was a perfect trip! Everything was executed to perfection, and we were kept informed at every step about what was happening etc. Before we left for our trip we had a finalized itineary and all our flight tickets in hand. Most importantly, I felt confident that if something were to go wrong on our trip, the Expert Africa team would be there for us to help make it right ASAP. My confidence wasn't misplaced.

In September 2022, I spent 13 nights at three different safari camps in the South Luangwa National Park. I had fantastic wildlife experiences throughout this wonderful region in Zambia.

My trip was organised in meticulous detail by a consultant at Expert Africa. Everything went faultlessly to plan. I have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa as a world class tour operator specialising in Africa.

From gorilla trekking (and chimpanzee and golden monkey trekking) to up close and personal encounters with massive migrations of wildebeest, a hot and tired lioness, an itchy pregnant zebra - and what can only be described as a Lion King moment - what an extraordinary experience! Excellent organisation and execution of the trip by from start to finish by Expert Africa!

Expert Africa, through Jessica Plumb, started our experience with a detailed conversation about what we wanted from our trip. She then tailored it perfectly - we were taken care of every step of the way - from securing documentation and insurance, to making sure everything went smoothly. I couldn't have been happier with the trip - and the support/advice/organization provided by Expert Africa!

Expert Africa have arranged many trips for us over the years. Every one has been faultless. They know exactly what we like and advise accordingly. We have never been disappointed

Safari in South Luangwa National Park.

She arranged the perfect camps for a solo traveller who’d never been to Zambia or done a safari before!

A fantastic trip visiting four camps in the Okavango Delta and Zimbabwe with a night at Victoria Falls on the transfer from the Delta to Zim. We had visited the camp in the Delta before so knew what to expect but it didn't disappoint. This was our first time in Zim, staying at one camp in the Hwange NP and two in Mana Pools. Each was very good in its own way and we would be more than happy to go back. All stitched together by our travel agent with excellent logistics.

Expert Africa do what it says on the to - real Experts

A trip that should have taken place in 2020 rearranged to 2022. We stayed at 5 amazing lodges in Zambia within the Lower Zambezi and South Luangwa areas. We had amazing animal and bird sightings, awesome boat cruises and experiences. All the lodges/camps were unique, comfortable and in stunning locations. We met some lovely people including the staff and management who went out of their way to ensure we had a great time.

Expert Africa were extremely helpful in rearranging our trip on a number of occasions due to the Covid pandemic. They are experts in African holidays and helped us put together an itinerary that resulted in an amazing trip. Their documentation and attention to detail is great which is reassuring when arranging this type of trip.

We spent 2.5 weeks in Namibia, Botswana and Victoria Falls. The trip was such a success, hugely memorable and without fault in any respect.

Every interaction with the tour operator from start to finish was professional, constructive and smooth. I had a broad itinerary I wanted to follow but this was made a wonderful reality with lovely lodges and excellent planning throughout. My agent - and others I spoke to in her absence - were extremely responsive, constructive, helpful, informative and friendly.
