Zimbabwe trip of a lifetime

We travelled with our three kids to Victoria Falls, Hwange and Matobo Hills. We bungeed, rafted, tracked white rhino on foot, swam, watched beautiful sunsets, stalked lions, trailed elephants, ate amazing food and met some truly wonderful locals. Couldn't have been better!

I booked our holiday later in the year than makes sense, but Expert Africa sorted everything perfectly. I couldn't fault them and would definitely use them again. They were realistic and organised and very helpful with great documentation and advice.

Rating for tour operator:

Knowledgeable, helpful and flexible. Had to rearrange many aspects of the trip due to the pandemic, but did so with ease and competence.

Trip of a lifetime to Botswana

We spent 2 weeks on safari in Botswana after a short stay at the Victoria Falls. Our first destination was the Chobe riverfront which was teeming with game. We then had 6 wonderful nights on a mobile safari, brilliantly run by Andrew Harkness, and then ended our stay in the Okavango Delta

Brilliant safari in Botswana

Great safari trip - 3 superb camps, great hotel when in transit. Logistics worked like clockwork.

Rating for tour operator:

Expert Africa must be the Experts on Zambia - they wrote the book! Great service, super itinerary, logistics worked like clockwork. Excellent choices and mix of camps selected. Great patience with all the rework during the Covid period, but we got there in the end and we are very appreciative.

Expert Africa responded to this review on 27 Jul 2022:

It was lovely to hear that these travellers enjoyed each individual camp, the warm welcome and the guiding. They also had some memorable wildlife sightings throughout.

Expert Africa responded to this review on 27 Jul 2022:

After two years of postponements, we were delighted to see these travellers reach Zambia on safari and that their trip was such a success. Thanks for sticking with us through the down times!

Breathtaking Trip to Kenya in July 2022

My trip was absolutely incredible - more wildlife than I could've imagined, and we caught some fabulous moments like a river crossing and a hunt. Couldn't have asked for a better holiday, and already thinking about when I can go back.

Expert Africa was fabulous - Lyndsey was incredibly knowledgeable and planned the perfect trip which let me see everything I wanted to. They were communicative and flexible, and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Enjoyable second time in Namibia

After more than a decade we took our second trip to Namibia booked through Expert Africa. For all other destinations we book everything independently but particularly during Covid a tour operator has been invaluable. We stayed in 8 different lodges, over a 2 week period, between Windhoek and the Angolan border.

Good personal approach. Careful advice given. Particularly useful when we had a problem with our hire vehicle.

Zambia safari 2022

10 nights safari in Zambia - seven nights in South Luangwa National Park and three in Lower Zambezi National Park. Fantastic game viewing (with expert, skilled and passionate guides). Wonderful food and beds in the bushcamps, really well looked after by the staff.

My second trip with them. Easy to contact and to deal with. Take time to understand what your tastes and aspirations are for your trip. Flexible in putting a package together that meets those tastes and aspirations.
