Zambia Mobile Safari - the best ever
The absolute best thing I will probably do (unless I do this again!). Brilliant, unique experience from start to finish. Jason, the guide was excellent and really shared his knowledge and entertained the group. The more junior guide, Kamisa was excellent at spotting wildlife, answering questions and was supportive. Max and the guys at the camp couldn't have done better, I feel very humbled to have been on this trip. Excellent food, excellent ...
The absolute best thing I will probably do (unless I do this again!). Brilliant, unique experience from start to finish. Jason, the guide was excellent and really shared his knowledge and entertained the group. The more junior guide, Kamisa was excellent at spotting wildlife, answering questions and was supportive. Max and the guys at the camp couldn't have done better, I feel very humbled to have been on this trip. Excellent food, excellent waiting staff, the chef and baker were faultless - quite how the chef and the baker produce the food they do is puzzling. Hand baked treats at tea time in the morning & afternoon cakes and canapes in the evening, - I have never been so impressed. The attention to detail, such as warm water to wash your face in the morning and the way the tents were pulled down and put back up was a very smooth operation. Tables in the tents were rearranged at the next camp as they were left at the previous camp. We saw lots of animals and received in depth information from the guides on the workings of the eco system. I have never felt so connected to the earth, or touched by just how hard all involved worked to make this happen.
Rating for tour operator:Listened to what I wanted, came up with a plan that demonstrated that they had listened and then Amanda walked me through every last detail, was available and really understood and had made multiple visits to the camps. I used the out of hours service for a question and was answered immediately. True experts in their product, which became clearer and clearer when I was there and heard experiences of other agents.
We really appreciate your kind words. The team on the walking safari really are incredible. I loved my time with them when I was last in the Luangwa, and it’s great to hear you did also. It’s such a pleasure to be able to help with all and any questions from our travellers – having visited the camps and locations throughout Zambia extensively, it makes it a lot easier for us to be able to assist in detail. Knowing you were keen to experience the wilderness, the RPS walking safari really allows you to immerse yourself into the environment and learn about the flora and fauna of Zambia’s national parks in such a unique way, and I’m delighted to hear how much you enjoyed the trip. Thanks again for leaving us your feedback – and if you do decide to head back, you know where we are! With best wishes, Amanda and the team @ Expert Africa
A very special holiday which exceeded expectations
We realised a few years ago that we had been to a country beginning with every letter of alphabet except X (not possible) and Z so we decided this year to tackle Z. Expert Africa was recommended and their agent was very accommodating in making our holiday very special. She created 3 detailed itineraries for us and our selected itinerary covered a safari trip in Zambia and Victoria falls in Zimbabwe. Both experiences had a sort of a WOW factor ...

Expert Africa was recommended and their agent was very accommodating in making our holiday very special. She created 3 detailed itineraries for us and our selected itinerary covered a safari trip in Zambia and Victoria falls in Zimbabwe. Both experiences had a sort of a WOW factor and we couldn't have asked for more. We particularly liked Nkwali camp overlooking Luangwa river.
Rating for tour operator:As mentioned above Expert Africa had little info from us in terms of requirements but we had a few telephone conversations with Amanda Bond who is obviously very experienced in terms of Zambian and Zimbabwean camps and managed to set us up an itinerary which covered the safari lodge and a bit of luxury afterwards to relax.
We really appreciate the kind words – it’s always a pleasure helping arrange a safari trip, but even more so when there’s a fun reason behind the travel! Getting to help with your ‘Z’ travels was great fun, and given how you wanted to experience a more rustic camp in a good wildlife area with some great guiding, Nkwali just had to be one of my top suggestions for you - it’s always a favourite of mine to visit. I'm delighted you had a good time at Victoria Falls also – and that the elephants decided to greet you there as well! While we can’t assist with the ‘X’, we’re on hand if you’d like to revisit another letter of the alphabet! With best wishes, Amanda and the team @ Expert Africa
Wonderful safari trip in Zambia
A wonderful fortnight on safari in Zambia, combining traditional safari game drives and walking safaris and staying at a variety of fantastic camps.

Rating for tour operator:Expert Africa provided a truly bespoke service, talking with me about my priorities and helping narrow down the myriad of options for safari locations. The final itinerary proved to be exactly what I'd hoped, thanks mainly to the first-hand knowledge of the Expert Africa team.
We are delighted the choice of camps and locations in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park proved to give you such a wonderful experience – we think that Zambia offers some of the best opportunities for walking safaris in Africa and we were glad to be able to suggest camps to give communal dining opportunities, and others to allow you to focus on the photography – and very glad the lions showed up just in time! With best wishes, Amanda @ Expert Africa
We really appreciate the kind words, thank you. It was a pleasure helping to arrange the trip for you! We're delighted that we could help build on the research you’d already carried out for your trip to Zambia – you’d given us a good start with your research, but we are lucky enough to get to visit so many of the camps and lodges we feature and so it’s always a pleasure to share our experiences to help put the perfect trip together. As and when you’re ready to think about the Seychelles or your next trip, we’d be happy to help! Amanda and the team @ Expert Africa

Rating for tour operator: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.

A great Safari Experience on Zambia
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.

Rating for tour operator: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.
South Luangwa November 2019
This was my sixth visit to South Luangwa, this time to join Robin Pope Safaris' Carnivore Week. We were based at lovely Luangwa Safari House and had the unique opportunity to meet and travel with the Zambian Carnivore Project's team as they went about their research monitoring the large carnivores in the National Park, in particular the lions and wild dogs. They were generous with their time and expertise and offered an insight that went far ...

Rating for tour operator:Expert Africa is what it says: expert. The staff have personal knowledge of the places they recommend and are good and helpful at finding the right destinations. I've traveled with them to Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya and Zambia and have never been disappointed.
Fantastic Zambia Trip
We spent 14 days in Zambia especially at Tafika Camp South Luangwa. We enjoyed game drives and bush walks and experienced fantastic wildlife sightings all within a beautiful landscape. The experience provided by the Coppinger Team was second to none (Remote Africa Safaris).
