"Terrific Honeymoon and unbelievable Memories"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 2 Aug 2016 and 17 Aug 2016
"As honeymoons go, this was the ultimate. We had the seculsion in Selous, the game in Ruaha and the relaxation in Zanzibar. Everything went like clockwork and each part complimented the trip wonderfully well - thank you Ellie & Expert Africa!

First of all Beho Beho and the Selous. Beho Beho is as good as its reputation. Brilliant guiding, brilliant hospitality and in a part of the Selous where you will feel like you have Africa to yourselves. The seclusion is an invaluable feeling and it really hit home just how amazing Africa is. The Selous itself was very different to Ruaha as it was much more vegetated and incredibly beautiful, with rivers, dry gorges, forests and plains. There is plenty of game but it is not the case that you can sit at the top of a hill and scan for your next pride of lion. If you are going to be able to tick game off the list then Selous is not the right choice. You generally have to work for your sightings, which for us, made it all the more special. As Selous is a reserve and not a national park, you can go off-road and track the animals which we found exciting. As a result sightings were so worthwhile and we gained far more insight from BB's excellent guides.

Ruaha was the next stop and was the perfect complement. It seemed much more like a traditional safari area, with game spread across the horizon. The area was much busier than Selous but it was still possible to lose the crowds and go big game hunting. Although we didn't see any leopard, we were incredibly lucky to spot Wild Dog twice and the second time we followed them as they were hunting, which was an unforgettable experience. Mwagusi Camp was brilliant with an amazing location.

We must mention the time of year...perfect! August was start of dry season so there was enough vegetation to keep the dust down, but virtually no mosquitos and the game was starting to congregate around the water holes. Couldn't have been better for both the Selous and Ruaha.

The follow-up in Zanzibar was just what was needed. Relaxation. The Palms was fantastic with great service and food and a very picturesque beach. We would probably not go to Zanzibar in isolation as there isn't too much to do but it definitely complements an East Africa safari!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We really like the website as it is very simple to navigate with clear links and lots of detail when required.

Based on our experience, we would 100% recommend Expert Africa.

P.s. Thank you for facilitating such a fabulous honeymoon :-)" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Trip of a lifetime"

I visited Tanzania between 2 Aug 2016 and 10 Aug 2016
"We were in amazing hands from the moment we stepped off the airplane in Mt Kilimanjaro. Everything was planned perfectly. Our Expert Africa consultant Maruska was the most patient, kind and helpful agent we have ever dealt with.

Our trip was literally years in planning - with many many questions, itinerary changes and emails. We were nightmare clients but Marushka was amazing. She always patiently answered our questions, gave us many options, allayed any fears/concerns and guided us in our decisions. The end result was perfect and we are so grateful to Maruska!

"Rwanda and Serengeti experience"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 2 Aug 2016 and 11 Aug 2016
"Every time I think about our Gorilla trek I get goosebumps. It was simply sensational. I am so glad we decided to go on two consecutive days and were able to see two gorilla families.

Olakira camp was fantastic - a great choice for anyone interested in witnessing the amazing wildebeest migration. The service, facilities, food and guiding was nothing short of exceptional.

I could not recommend the Ngorongora crater or Manyara based on our experience. It really fell short after the Serengeti although a better guide would no doubt have contributed to a richer experience." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"Great Safari Trip Aug 16 with Expert Africa"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 30 Jul 2016 and 13 Aug 2016
"We had a fantastic experience with Expert Africa and our trip. In terms of logistics, everything worked out perfectly well, before as well as during the trip. All the recommendations and suggestions we received turned out to be to the point.

We loved the two lodges were we stayed as well as the two national parks Selous and Ruaha - very complementary and different, both very special and not too touristy at all, despite high season. Closing a week of safari with a few days in Zanzibar turned also out to be the right decision. Thanks also a lot for the complimentary travel guide on Zanzibar - excellent reading, I would recommend it to every traveler. All in all a great holiday!

We would recommend Expert Africa to any friends planning the same thing." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jul 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 17 Jul 2016 and 29 Jul 2016
"My trip went smoothly and I had an amazing time. As always this was expertly organised by Ellie. All my safaris so far have been organised brilliantly by Expert Africa and I have had incredible experiences which is why I keep returning. Thanks very much.

One point to feedback is relating to my driver/guide in Rwanda. I was very disappointed with his lack of engagement and focus on his mobile phone and personal work in Kigali on my first day there. He was more of a driver than a guide and did not say much. It is particularly disappointing as this part of my trip was my bucket list trip and supposed to be special and I was very excited about it. I have provided detailed feedback to Ellie." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"brilliant all round"

I visited Tanzania between 16 Jul 2016 and 27 Jul 2016
"We'd recommend this entire trip to everyone, despite the cost! Highlight was Mahale National Park and Greystoke. Selous we were very impressed with, regarding the amount of wildlife we saw. Location of the camp excellent but we'd choose a smaller camp in future." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Great Trip. Everything we wanted"

I visited Tanzania between 16 Jul 2016 and 28 Jul 2016
"The viewing was first rate and our guides were great.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I feel the feedback form does not convey how much we enjoyed the trip. But I haven't a suggestion as to how to improve it!

All the arrangements went so smoothly and everything lived up to our expectations. I don't often use AWESOME or STUNNING but the trip was awesome and Tanzania is stunning. And everyone we met was just the nicest.

Thank you Ellie." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
