"Our February 2016 Safari trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 2 Feb 2016 and 17 Feb 2016
"I have not had an opportunity to comment on our guide and this was a real downer.

He was called Hilary and was really dreadful. He was H&S crazy. He would never allow us off the vehicle even in areas where other people were out of theirs, oh except when the vehicle would not start and we had to get out and push it. This happened twice. We know the risks and would never expect to be off vehicle in areas where there is an element of danger, after all this is our 10th safari.
He drove at a snails pace so that he would not actually get very far from camp. Every vehicle in the Serengeti overtook us. Every vehicle we met he stopped to talk to the guide. He spent half an hour one evening trying to extract another vehicle from a ditch, again people in the other vehicles were out of theirs, we were not allowed to do so. Later when my daughter wanted to take photos of a troop of baboons he told her our time was up. Even though he was knowledgagle mainly with regard to animals he rarely imparted information on wildlife unless asked and he was always either on his phone or radio talking to others. The last 3 days he made no attempt to spot game. He would drive past them without stopping as he did not see them.

We only had one sundowner for the whole week. We eat off dirty tables at picnic lunch as he could not be bothered to produce a tablecloth. Outside of this we had a lovely time." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jan 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 31 Jan 2016 and 13 Feb 2016
"we had a wonderful holiday, despite having vehicles "stuck in" on several occasions ( all dealt with excellently by the staff) It really was an adventure and we were looked after wonderfully well by all concerned.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I don't think you could improve on the service that you give, we have traveled with you several times now and every time it has been nothing short of excellent.

Both Valerie and I would like to thank you all most sincerely, for everything you have done for us over the years." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Northern Circuit 2016"

I visited Tanzania between 25 Jan 2016 and 2 Feb 2016
"Huge thank you to James for sorting out our trip within such a short time-frame. He was extremely helpful, down to earth and responsive, and really went all out to accommodate our last minute requirements.

We had an unforgettable trip and would definitely recommend Expert Africa to friends. Also a big thank you to the various people who helped to reunite me with the things I left at Oliver's Camp - everybody went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful."

"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

"Another memorable trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 23 Jan 2016 and 6 Feb 2016
"Another great trip to two re-visited destinations. Still like the long stay at a single camp.

Looking back would not change anything - even the driving back to camp peeking though a tiny gap in a rain poncho against driving torrential rain!

"My Jan 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 23 Jan 2016 and 27 Jan 2016
"Richard Trillo and the entire Expert Africa team are first rate. There is no pressure from Expert Africa to buy anything or stay anywhere.

Mr. Trillo (the author of the Rough Guide to Kenya - the best travel guide on Kenya) is concerned with matching the client's travel wishes and budget to the most appropriate accommodations and services. I highly recommend Expert Africa for exceptional service and integrity.

"A brilliant trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 3 Jan 2016 and 15 Jan 2016
"This was an amazing holiday incorporating 2 long held dreams of seeing the Gorillas in Rwanda and visiting the Selous in Tanzania.

Absolutely everything went according to plan (unbelievable for Africa!) and apart from the problems we raised about the hotel in Dar we couldn't have asked for better.

Fantastic, thank you!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
