"Tanzania/Rwanda Safari trip - Jun/Jul 2016"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 21 Jun 2016 and 9 Jul 2016
"Outstanding trip overall, perfectly matching our expectations.
James at Expert Africa listened and probed as to what we wanted and expected from our first safari experience, and then put together several itinerary options that would meet our needs. He was able to answer all our questions, and to provide us with lots of additional information that helped us in selecting the final choices for our Safari holiday."

"My Jun 2016 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 15 Jun 2016 and 24 Jun 2016
"All went well through the whole trip, would have been nice to be able to have spent a day in Dar as an extra day.
As I said before everyone was helpful and friendly, the guides were excellent, again the only down side was the day flight back to Heathrow, but that out of your control.

"Great return to Tanzania"
I visited Tanzania between 6 Jun 2016 and 16 Jun 2016
"This was yet another great trip with Expert Africa. You are our Go To travel company.
It was great to be back in Tanzania and we split our time between the Selous and Ruaha. We chose to stay in just two camps and that paid off as we got to know the staff and the areas a bit better. The camps complemented each other well - Sand Rivers is more obviously luxurious while Mwagusi is very comfortable but keeps a welcome sense of the bush and the 'old days'.
We went at the very beginning of the dry season - the up side was there were fewer guests there; the down side was the bush was still very green and dense so our guides had to work a bit harder to find the game - but we saw loads!
Expert Africa, you maintained your usual high standards and everything ran smoothly. Thanks again!

Keep going! Keep specialising in Africa. Keep a real range of camps - the basic and the old-fashioned are an endangered species these days." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Incredibly satisfied with Expert Africa"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 6 Jun 2016 and 22 Jun 2016
"My trip was incredible. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing. If I ever get a chance to go to Africa again ( I really hope to!) I will absolutely use Expert Africa and Elizabeth Chapman to help me with my planning and booking again!
I am 110% satisfied and will recommend you in Canada!

"Tanzania in the (very) Wet Season"
I visited Tanzania between 11 Feb 2016 and 27 Feb 2016
"Wonderful!! Chris and his team at Expert Africa are always brilliant - there is always someone in the office who has visited the places we want to visit and can give in depth information and advice. Thank you Ellie for all your help and advice and, also, Liz who took over whilst Ellie was on Honeymoon and had to sort out last minute changes when one of our chosen camps was closed by unusual weather conditions.
Just one very slight niggle - getting the Tanzanian visas on arrival in Dar proved to be a bit of a nightmare. There is no organisation resulting in passports for each member of the group being returned haphazardly one taking over an hour to handed back .TAB ( that's Africa baby!!)
We think that it is definitely worth the extra expense of applying for the visas in U.K.

"My Jan 2016 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 4 other countries between 24 Jan 2016 and 15 Feb 2016
"It was excellent, brilliantly organised and managed.
In retrospect we should have chosen Sabyinyo in Rwanda, Ngorongoro Crater in the Crater. I would have preferred to stay at the Hyatt in Dar - or an alternative to the Serena - it was a shocker.
I had concerns about Little Kwara before I went and these were confirmed. I would not stay with a Kwando facility on a return to Africa." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Dec 2015 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 27 Dec 2015 and 1 Jan 2016
"It was fantastic!
From our initial discussion on options to the final bookings, EA were excellent, providing expert insight into what each camp could offer and tie that in with our wishes.
The Kwihala camp was perfect for what we wanted, extremely comfortable, great food and run by a very good team. The safari in Ruaha was just what we wanted, remote and quiet with good and varied wildlife, but without being overrun and therefore ambivalent/bored of such amazing creatures."
