Under the expert guidance and meticulous organisation of Katrina, we travelled to Africa in 2022. Visiting four countries and multiple destinations within those countries we had the trip of a lifetime. As seriously keen photographers we could not have wished for a better trip, from the amazing accommodation and incredible wildlife experiences, right down to the small details of greetings at airports. Katrina had said, Africa will get in your blood. She's right! We're going back again next year - all organised by African Expert of course. I cannot recommend Katrina highly enough!

I thought that calling themselves “African Expert”, was a big call. Turns out they were bang on. Our safari holiday in Tanzania was well planned and absolutely top notch. Highly recommended.

Katrina organised a wonderful trip to Africa for our family. We went a little earlier and our two daughters, their husbands and the five grandchildren followed. We always felt safe and organised with each day being an adventure. We were all in awe of the natural beauty, the animals and especially the local people. Katrina made sure there was a pool for the kids and chose excellent accommodation, safari and sightseeing options.

My family has had two wonderful trips to Africa arranged by Katrina. She put together a couple of great personalised itineraries, which met our needs of multiple park visits and variety of animals to see. Lodges and hotels were great, with excellent guides provided to enhance our experience and safe passage from one destination to another. Her knowledge of when and where to go was outstanding. Highly recommend using her services.

Our guide in East Africa was outstanding, I think he really made our trip extra special.
How did he know where the same lion cubs we saw at 10 am, would be at 4 pm, over 5 km away?!
I guess that is experience and local knowledge. I would recommend him to anyone that was going to follow our footsteps.

After spending hours researching online and even emailing African travel agents, I found Katrina. Wow, look no further. Her knowledge and expertise of all the African countries was so extensive, it blew me away. My sister and I were unsure what month to best travel in Africa, and Katrina talked us through country by country, the weather and best months to visit each region. Katrina then asked us in detail what experiences and things we most wanted to see and do.
She then presented us with the most amazing power point itinerary I've ever seen. We made a few changes here and there before we locked in an itinerary that suited our wish list and budget. We felt confident and reassured that everywhere we were staying Katrina had also stayed.
Within the first 5 days of our 3 week vacation, our expectations had been exceeded. This holiday was a life changing experience that should be on everyone's bucket list.
From the moment we landed we were met at every stage of our journey. The hospitality of the locals and staff we encountered was so special. For example in Zimbabwe, every single local we encountered thanked us for choosing to visit Zimbabwe. There were so many special places and things we got to see that we didn't even realise were a part of our itinerary. For example, visiting local villages, seeing such an abundance of wildlife up close, visiting a white rhinoceros sanctuary, meeting the Maasai people, and visiting an elephant orphanage, just to name a few.
Africa is such a beautiful, vast and unique continent. We truly felt the extraordinary passion that Katrina has for Africa, and understood that the company name “African Expert” isn't just a catchy name it is a 100% true definition of Katrina and her wonderful service and expertise

We’ve just arrived at Victoria Falls, the last part of our trip. We’ve loved every moment. All the accommodation has been excellent. Yesterday we actually saw a kill, alittle gruesome but all part of the survival of the fittest. What a memorable trip. Thank you for all your advice and arrangements.

Katrina efficiently and thoughtfully designed a fantastic African itinerary for our honeymoon, taking in Botswana, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, Franschoek and Sabi Sands, including all transfers, domestic flights and excellent hotel choices. For anyone thinking about an African adventure but unsure how to go about it, or about the practicalities in Africa, Katrina's services are extraordinarily worthwhile. We will definitely use her services for our next Africa trip!

My wife and I wanted to travel East Africa to see gorillas. I found Africa Expect on line and rang Katrina. She was absolutely fantastic and put us on a 28 day trip with a stop over in Doha on way back. All we can say is Wow Wow. Katrina told us we would love Africa, she wasn't wrong. Absolutely mind blowing. Katrina's knowledge and passion to Africa and travel is awesome. We can't thank her enough for the memories it has created for us. What ever your next adventure takes you, speak to Africa expect. You won't look back.

Katrina prepared and comprehensively coordinated an incredible African holiday for my sister and I. She is extremely knowledgeable on the country and suggested wonderful places to visit.
Our 3 week African holiday included safaris in South Africa (in Kruger National Park), Zimbabwe (in Hwange National Park) and in Kenya (in the Masai Mara region) plus several other tours in Johannesburg, Victoria Falls and Nairobi.
Katrina was super friendly, thorough and easy to deal with. She provided us additional information on expected weather conditions, travel packing list, places to eat, and approximate tipping amounts required.
I would highly recommend her and will absolutely book with her again.

Our trip to Africa (South Africa and Namibia) was truly unforgettable and thanks to Katrina was seamless and trouble free. Her input and suggestions reflected her deep knowledge of Africa and made our journey memorable. I would highly recommend the 'African Expert' if you are considering a trip to Africa. You will not regret it.

We had our 3 week holiday to Southern Africa organised by Katrina and what an experience it was. The accommodation at various locations around Africa were all spectacular. The activities suggested were all spectacular. Every thing went so well. We will always remember this experience. Highly recommend if you want to go to Africa, Katrina is the person to deal with

We have just completed our second holiday in Africa. Both trips have been a great success largely due to the wonderful planning and skill of the African Expert, Katrina.
Her carefully designed holiday ensured that we
• had excellent drivers to and from all airports
• had excellent, in some cases luxurious, accommodation
• were sent by her to the best game parks
• had the best of game drive guides who had a wealth of knowledge and enthusiasm
• were given consideration for specific needs such as hearing and dietary problems;
• were given a clear understanding of costs and how Katrina, the agent, was remunerated.
She has responded professionally and punctually to all emails and messages before our trips and while we were on safari in Africa.
We thoroughly recommend this travel agent to any traveller, but in particular to older travellers who will be secure and confident on their exciting safari adventure.

What a holiday it was !! All expertly arranged by Katrina - she had responded well to our wish-list of things to see and do , and created a fantastic taste of Africa with great viewings of animals , excellent accommodation and seamless travel.

After having a few health issues I had to cut my tour in half and Katrina made everything extremely easy with some added extras which really made up for what I was missing out on.
I arrived in Bangkok having a two day stop over. The hotel was 1st class and the tour that Katrina organised was spot on though very hot a muggy. My transfers to and from the airport were spot on and on time.
Arriving in Nairobi again my transfers was waiting. Arriving at my accommodation very early they were very accommodating and sent me off for brekky while making my room ready which was very clean and comfortable.
Having a few days free in Nairobi, the tour company organised some private safari tours for me which were first class being Nairobi national park, lake Navashia & Crescent island. Next I joined the original tour and went on a three day Safari tours the Masai Mara, which was exhausting but well worth it.From there we transferred to our final destination at the Pongwe Beach Hotel on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania. Katrina hit the nail right on the head with this one. It was simply paradise, from the setting, the food, the facilities and the staff everything was simply perfect. An absolute 10/10. 6 days of complete R & R before flying home. Everything on our trip either met our expectations or was well beyond our expectations. All in all it was truly fantastic.
Katrina and her team excelled.
Our trip to East Africa was way beyond all of our expectations, from our safaris to our beach side hotel/resort in Zanzibar. Katrina provided the perfect trip giving us everything we asked for and more.

Wow what a trip!
Thank you very very much for all your work - everything worked flawlessly. From the transfers, the guides, the flights. All perfect. We particularly loved the people. Our top 5: 1. Masai Mara - lots and lots of wild experiences and this camp was spectacular. Location, game drives, guides, luxury. Eye opening village visit. 2. Giraffe manor. What more to say? Lives up to expectations even if it was the most expensive part of trip. 3. Rhino Orphanage. A very special experience with the baby rhinos 4. Wild experiences on the Zambezi - some spectacular elephant sightings including one drinking from our pool, a fishing expedition where Sarah and I caught the famous tiger fish. 5. Botswana for all the leopards and wild dogs we saw! Nov/Dec 2025 Kenya, Zimbabwe, Botswana & South Africa (Honeymoon) Phil & Sarah |

Our safari was perfect. It was luxurious but unpretentious, the rooms were beautiful, and the food was amazing. Our guides worked so hard for us and we saw everything - all of the big five and so much more. The grass was long after the summer rains but it didn’t matter a bit. I wanted to say thank you because it was the best holiday we have ever had! I’m dreaming of another safari in Africa so will definitely reach out again. You really do need an expert like you for this kind of holiday.

In planning our first ever trip to Africa we sought the advice of Katrina, and are so glad we did. Her knowledge and professionalism were of the highest standard and much appreciated. Our holiday included several days near Victoria Falls followed by a 10-day camping safari through northern Botswana. The animal life was stunning, and the experience out of this world. Many thanks. Here is a photo of us in a mokoro on the Khwai River.

Katrina's attention to detail allowed me to fully immerse myself in the wonders of this country, the people and the animals. I did not have to worry at any time as all plans just fell into place - that takes organisation and liaison well in advance - and this made for a most stress-free time away, especially as I was travelling solo.
It was all truly amazing and there were no hiccups, excepting when I almost missed my flight from Kigali to Nairobi, but that had nothing to do with your organisation. I have just been revisiting the trip to the Masai Mara with shared photos from a Scottish couple in our group at Kichwa Tempo - I could almost feel the breath of that lion as he strolled past our vehicle! Zebra and wildebeest for as far as the eye could see - until seen one cannot imagine it possible.
Your suggestions in the planning stages and then adding on the tour and cruise at Victoria Falls were so worthwhile. The gorillas; the migration, albeit a small one; the Big 5, all in one drive; the Ravos Rail - an experience not to be missed; Cape Town; I could go on forever. The knowledge of my guide in Cape Town was second to none and he showed me so much of the city that was not on my itinerary, plus the history to match.
The accommodation you selected could not have been more luxurious - and the managers and staff were so helpful and made the experience special.
A couple of extras not included but to give a taste of local life: the local people sweeping the roadways in Rwanda right up to the mountains - such a clean country with very hard-working and proud people; in Franschhoek the 'Matrix' - the year 12 students arriving at their formal - so lovely to see them all dressed up for this very special event.
Again, thank you Katrina for putting together an itinerary for me to have such a wonderful and memorable African holiday. I will be forever grateful.

We have travelled to many countries throughout the world and always organised these holidays ourselves.
However on this occasion, we followed the advice of friends who recommended Katrina and discussed with her our plans for an African holiday. She then suggested many enhancements to our plans which she then organised in a very professional and caring manner.
I'm confident that with a lot of research, we could have organised an African holiday ourselves, but I now know we could not have organised one as good as Katrina's.
From the moment we arrived in Africa till when we departed, we were escorted throughout by friendly and knowledgeable guides.
The accommodation and safari camps were truly excellent. The drivers went out of their way to make us feel special. Their knowledge of the animals and birds and vegetation was astounding.
The country was wonderful, the animals and birds were spectacular, and the people were friendly and helpful.
Being a tourist in Africa was a joy.
We attribute the quality of our holiday to Katrina who worked so hard for us on refining our itinerary and choosing the best safari camps and accommodation.

Katrina made the whole process so easy, from listening to the needs of our trip, and then tailoring a number of different options for us to choose from. We were a little apprehensive about visiting such a different culture but we needn't have worried - she had everything in hand. We were met by excellent guides and drivers, and got to make the most out of our short time away. Thanks Katrina. Would definitely recommend.

Extraordinary attention to detail in planning and arrangements- more than one trio.. But huge positive was the care and attention provided when my wife had a medical issue in the wilds of Rwanda and subsequetly in Kenya. The attention we received in country was extraordinary. Not only were Katrina's in country representatives amazingly helpful, but Katrina was on top of every move we had to make.

Katrina organised a fantastic African holiday for us, which included an excellent itinerary, wonderful venues, parks, attractions, tours - plus add-ons. The add-ons included several upgrades and extras, all at either minimal or no extra cost, which really added value for us. I could have added in all the other qualities above if I hadn't been limited to just 3. I don't want to say it was a holday of a lifetime, because I really want to go again - after a bit of a break! But it really was a most wonderful holiday, which we were privileged to share with 4 of our best friends.

Katrina definitely knows her African travel! We found her extremely knowledgeable, having first hand experience of the vast majority of Africa countries and experiences. Katrina is very enthusiastic and was willing to answer our many questions. We had the trip of a life-time in Southern Africa, it is truly awe inspiring part of the world. Thanks for all your help Katrina it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for making the arrangements, which went without a hitch. The hippos were remarkably close, the birdlife was abundant and we enjoyed our stay.
Our guide was fabulous, a very pleasant fellow and extremely knowledgeable. We were especially pleased, as the quality of the guide is critical. We are looking forward to our next trip to Africa; we think Tanzania in a couple of years……

Big thanks to Katrina for organising our trip to Africa. Katrina was recommended to us and certainly lived up to her reputation. We flew into Johannesburg, then up to Nairobi, then onto Tanzania for our private safari (our guide was knowledgeable and great fun). We headed to Lake Manyara National Park, then the Ngorongoro Crater (saw the big 5 there and stayed in a lovely lodge; what a treat!), then we were off to the Serengeti National Park for 3 nights, spending our days on game drives that couldn’t fail to impress. We went to the Masai Mara Game Reserve, and the lodge was again a real treat. Katrina booked us a hot air balloon flight over the park and that was amazing. We then flew down to Zimbabwe and Victoria Falls where from the lodge we watched the animals come down at dusk to the waterhole while we sipped on a cool beer. The day trip to the falls was spectacular (albeit a little wet) and time spent in the town meant we came home with lots of stone carvings. The highlight of Chobe National Park, Botswana was watching elephants frolicking in the mud – who would have thought elephants could frolic. We did have lost luggage…….but Katrina answered the phone when I called from Tanzania – and at goodness knows what time on a Sunday. A great thank you to Katrina for organising (and taking the angst out of) what I would say is one of the best holidays we have ever had – so many WOW moments, so many memories.

"Katrina organised a truly wonderful holiday for my wife and little person in South Africa and Namibia. We could not sing Katrina’s praises highly enough. Katrina organised our flights, accommodation, and hire cars, making the holiday not only memorable but stress-free. Our time in Madikwe Game Reserve on safari was the high point, matched only by our touring Namibia in our own hired four wheel drive and seeing the world’s largest sand dunes at Sossusvlei, amongst many other truly wonderful experiences. Hats off to Katrina Kucera…" Michael Kerrisk |

Thank you for putting together a wonderful private tour of South Africa and Namibia. We have been taking overseas holidays for over 30 years and this was the best we have ever had.
The arrangements went without any problems and the accommodation, private tours and guides were excellent. Namibia was outstanding – breathtaking scenery, abundant wildlife and very friendly people. We also felt safe throughout the entire trip. We will be recommending you to anyone who wants to take an African holiday.

In August and September 2013 we had a wonderful time in Southern and West Africa. We were very grateful to Katrina for pulling together our itinerary which involved two separate tour companies and our own private travel arrangements. In particular we really appreciated the smooth transfers from Zambia through Botswana to Namibia and the Chobe River Cruise. In a holiday of many many highlights, the two days on “The Pride of Zambezi” were a standout. The efficient, timely and friendly service extended to us was very impressive. Thoroughly recommended!

An extremely belated thanks for organising our extraordinary holiday! It was absolutely wonderful and it is really hard to convey to family and friends how amazing our three safaris were. Especially Seba and Somalisa where there was an abundance of animals and excitement. I am not sure if you are aware we saw a kill - a young female leopard killing a steenbok - she played cat and mouse so it was not a quick kill. We are not sure how long it took because we were mesmerised but we think it took about twenty minutes! Incredible!
I could go on and on about our extremely close encounter, on two occasions, with a pride of lions and at Somalisa eating and almost sleeping with the lions. Fantastic.
Katrina there were just so many highlights including meeting all the people who run the camps.
It would be great for all of us to get together at some stage - that's if you want to spend time with six very excited travellers!

Africa was much more than a holiday; it was the experience of a lifetime for us. My wife (who did not really want to go there) now loves the place and had the time of her life! The experience will never leave us and future visits to other countries will inevitably be compared to Africa.
It is not until you are in Africa that you realise how invaluable Katrina’s advice & knowledge was, which made our trip memorable. She spent a lot of time with me and I think she reads her clients very well because everything exceeded our expectations.
Thank you Katrina for the wonderful job you did and I understand now why you love your job.
I would like to emphasise when considering visiting such a diverse and unique continent how important knowledge & expert advice is to maximise the experience of your visit.

Katrina was on the ball with all our requests & added excellent options or suggestions for our tour & catered for all our needs in a medium to high price bracket. Katrina is a very accommodating person & is there to help at all times. She is extremely knowledgeable not only on Africa but world wide. There is never any hesitation when asking for help with any issue whether it's while away or at home, for a booking or not. I would highly recommend her services.

We were delighted with our recent holiday in Kenya and Tanzania, thanks to Katrina's superb efficiency and knowledge of her subject. We found our itinerary to be well-planned, well-suited to our needs and wants, and the company she selected for our trip was terrific! Organisation was so smooth that if there were any "blips" they were settled so unobtrusively that we were totally untroubled.
Thanks to Katrina for listening to us so carefully when in the planning stage and subsequently suggesting things we had not thought of, for being so accessible and friendly and responding to our queries and requests so promptly.
We were also very impressed with Katrina's interest in our feedback on our return.

Katrina, WOW WOW WOW! - Our 6 week African adventure has finally come to an end. From Arusha to Zimbabwe and everywhere between, what an incredible experience. We have now been home a couple of months and we are still buzzing.
We wake every morning reminiscing and reliving every moment of our journey. Katrina, thanks to your expertise and attention to fine detail with no stone left unturned, a 20 year dream finally became a real life adventure. A 50th birthday celebration we will never be able to top. Thank you so much for our incredibly planned and brilliantly organised trip. You are truly The African Expert. Grant and Christine McKenzie |

As a well travelled family, we still felt a bit nervous about our African adventure. It was all so unknown and travelling with an 8 year takes some planning. With Katrina's advice, although it was every bit the huge adventure we wanted, it was made easy, fun and will never be forgotten by any of us.
The breathtaking safari at Tuningi lodge was the stand out in South Africa but closely challenged, in my daughter's mind, by her ostrich ride and patting a baby cheetah in Oudtshoorn. My husband found it hard to go past champagne at the top of Table Mountain with its jaw dropping view. Food, accommodation and wine was surprisingly delicious, comfortable and cheap. With cars and accommodation booked, driving felt safe and easy.
In Namibia we channelled our inner Indiana Jones - the desert is sparse and spectacular, but distances are very long. Breathtaking scenery, and the sense of being on the edge of the world is a huge thrill. The buzz of trekking to remote Soussosvlei and Luderitz made up for the heat and draining travel time.
Since we were new to African travel, Katrina was a godsend - her extensive knowledge and patient and detailed reworking of our travel plans ensured we made good choices and didn't miss some hidden gems. When can we go again?

The breathtaking safari at Tuningi lodge was the stand out in South Africa but closely challenged, in my daughter's mind, by her ostrich ride and patting a baby cheetah in Oudtshoorn. My husband found it hard to go past champagne at the top of Table Mountain with its jaw dropping view. Food, accommodation and wine was surprisingly delicious, comfortable and cheap. With cars and accommodation booked, driving felt safe and easy.
In Namibia we channelled our inner Indiana Jones - the desert is sparse and spectacular, but distances are very long. Breathtaking scenery, and the sense of being on the edge of the world is a huge thrill. The buzz of trekking to remote Soussosvlei and Luderitz made up for the heat and draining travel time.
