"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."

"Tanzania safari during the 'short rains'"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 26 Nov 2015 and 10 Dec 2015
"We had a great time overall, but as always in Africa, plans do not always go directly as you intended, so it is important to remain travel wise.

The safari section of our trip was quite tiring, with early morning game drives and moving camp every couple of days, although this is exactly what we had expected, so were prepared. This was the first time that we had visited Africa during a rainy season, so expected a different experience to our previous trips. It was lovely to save the best safari camp to last and then to relax in Zanzibar for a 3 nights - even though the heat and humidity hit us hard.

It was very helpful to have the experience and suggestions from Expert Africa to help us plan the trip as their knowledge of the individual camps and hotels is extensive.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

This was our seventh trip to Africa booked through Expert Africa, which precisely sums up our view of their expertise.

Looking forward to number eight!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Great safari coupled with R&R on the beach"

I visited Tanzania between 8 Nov 2015 and 23 Nov 2015
"Our safari in Selous and Ruaha compared very favourably with other safari holidays we have had in southern Africa. A few days at Ras Kutani was an ideal way to relax at the end of our trip.

All the travel arrangements worked well.

The staff in all the places where we stayed were invariably very welcoming, friendly and helpful.

Altogether a wonderful holiday." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"My Nov 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 1 Nov 2015 and 12 Nov 2015
"We had a really memorable trip and each of the camps provided unforgettable experience, but the whole thing was rescued by the staff at Expert Africa after our disastrous experiences with the airline.

Liz Wollen's recommendations as to the best balance for the trip and the camps to stay at were really helpful, and we are so grateful for all the work that went in to making sure we got the whole of the ten days' trip. A lot of the reorganisation - rebooking airlines and camps had to be done late at night, our time, and Maruska, in New Zealand did so much reorganising so quickly and kept us up to date.

Liz and Maruska really rescued our trip and for that we are immensely grateful.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No.

Expert Africa would now always be our agents of choice. We have received an exceptionally professional, efficient and friendly service for which we are immensely grateful. We really can't recommend them highly enough" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Amazing trip to Namiri Plains"

I visited Tanzania between 1 Nov 2015 and 10 Nov 2015
"Absolutely brilliant trip.

I knew I wanted a prolonged stay at a single camp. Have used Expert Africa before and talked to Liz about my requirements. She put the trip together just as required including flexibility / changes due to various airline changes to international flight schedules."

"Wonderful - Can I do it all again?"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 28 Oct 2015 and 12 Nov 2015
"Our trip to Beho Beho in the Selous was fantastic. It might have just been the time of year we travelled, but I don't think I would recommend this as a first safari destination as the game viewing was not as prolific as, say, the Serengheti. We were very pleased that we spent a whole week at this Lodge, not just for the wonderful atmosphere, company and food, but because the first few days we didn't see too much. In a sense this is wrong as there is so much to see, but it was more in the way of landscape and bird life which was truly lovely.

However, towards the end of the stay we saw an enormous amount - it was as though the larger animals had all been off on their own safaris and came back on the same day! So we were driving areas we had visited before and rather than deserted they were heavily populated.

The guiding was superlative and we liked the system the Lodge had of rotating the guides so you went out with each guide and benefitted from the particular enthusiasms and expertise of each.

Kilindi was a lovely chill out place with friendly staff and delicious food - even lots of choice every day for a vegetarian. We had a fabulous time and I would jump at the chance to do it all again and stay at these venues.

Yes, one of our bags arrived two days after us - but people were helpful and this really did not have any negative impact on our trip - in fact, it demonstrated just how much trouble people will go to (Trisha & Heribert at Beho Beho) to ensure you are sorted and inconvenienced to the smallest possible degree."

"One of our best holidays ever"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 17 Oct 2015 and 27 Oct 2015
"Wonderful and unforgettable trip. We did so much but also had a chance to relax.

The only slight hitch was the elections which took place on 25 October, causing some disruption in Zanzibar. We had to alter our days for visiting Stonetown and doing our boat cruise. While that wasn't a big deal, I think had there been more violence following the results being announced, we could have had problems getting home. As it was we heard reports of tear gas and demonstrations on 27 October but they did not affect us.

Expert Africa should have let us know in advance that the elections were taking place - date, possible repercussions etc - we may have then decided to do Zanzibar first followed by Selous." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Keep coming back!"

I visited Tanzania between 17 Oct 2015 and 28 Oct 2015
"The danger of returning to the same places is that subsequent visits may not live up to previous experiences.

This has never proved to be the case - my favorite places in East Africa never fail to provide new and exciting opportunities and the people are always delightful. Its never long before i think about the next trip!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
