"We joined a trip organised by Ellie with a friend (Tarmo) and hence did not have to make any decisions about where to go.

The recommendations were excellent and we enjoyed it very much, it being our first safari.

Certainly not the last!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

Can' think of any comments at the moment, so you must be doing things pretty well. Thank you." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Although I have been on several safaris, this was my families first experience and I had several criteria.

A country I hadn't visited.
At least two camps which would give a wide range of habitat so that we could go on drives, walks and boats.
Game viewing without 50 other vehicles around
Small camps which concentrated less on luxury and more on the game viewing and the bush experience but without sleeping on campbeds and washing in buckets.
Guides who were enthusiastic and knowledgeable and who loved the animals and their country
Open vehicles and preferably ones with only 4 to 6 people.

Eleanor came up trumps in every respect. On day one, when we reached Selous camp after a stunning game drive from the airstrip, my son said "mum, if we go home now this will still have exceeded all my expectations "

Experience piled on experience - so many memorable moments - the matriarch elephant who decided to check out our vehicle and was literally eyeball to eyeball with Stella. The cheetahs strolling past us. The 8 lions on a fresh kill. The 2 hippos fighting on the bank within 50 yards of our bush breakfast.The giraffe kindergarden. The fish eagles and the goliath herons making catches.

Thank you Ellie , Expert Africa and all those fabulous people in Tanzania, from the taxi driver who picked us up and tried to teach us some Swahili, to the guides and trackers and staff at all the camps who loved their country and wanted us to love it too.

"Fantastic short trip but was good combination of safari and then relaxing on beach. Everything was organised perfectly and no problems.

The service was fantastic from day 1 and very attentive and was exactly what I wanted. Help and input from team was great and there was fantastic communication and organisation! Thank you Elizabeth!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Our only issue was on arrival at Dar airport where we had to let Coastal aviation know that we had arrived. Other companies had arranged name boards and took their guests through to the domestic terminal." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had an incredible trip." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Absolutely fantastic and lived up to and in fact exceeded our expectations. We had been wanting to go on a safari for several years and when this year we finally decided that we would go we thought it was going to be Botswana.

However having had many very useful and informative phone calls with the Ellie and other members of the Expert Africa team we ended up going to Tanzania, and were delighted with our choice. Everything that Ellie said was accurate in every respect and we would not hesitate to return to a wonderful country, with fantastic people, scenery and wildlife

Ellie could not have been more helpful and our overall experience with the Expert Africa team was excellent. I would not hesitate to use Expert Africa again or indeed recommend them to other people.

"Overall th etrip was excellent. A good balance of location, activties and time.

The one thing I would consider doing differently is to fly to Kigali via Amsterdam and miss out Nairobi. Costs more but less hassle." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
