"An excellent Safari"

I visited Tanzania between 10 Oct 2015 and 20 Oct 2015
"Once again an excellently organized holiday, from a personal viewpoint we found the jouney tireing with three flights following each other and possibly in future we may have to consider a stop over. We also found the heat excessive, however we appreciate this was our choice and Expert Africa are not in any way responsible.

Special thanks to Ellie for organising the lunch and also re payment, both are very much appreciated.

Siwandu and Kwihala both celebrated our anniversary in fine stile and we would like to convey our thanks to all the staff at both camps for making our stay special occasion

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Once again we both feel the service we have received has been very satisfactory and we would like to forward our personal thanks to Eleaner for her advice and help throughout." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Great game viewing in southern tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 5 Oct 2015 and 15 Oct 2015
"Our trip to Southern Tanzania was perfect. Ruaha and Selous are beautiful, wild and not crowdy at all. Let's hope it can stay this way.

As usual the EA level of information was of a very high standard. Thanks to James Denny for the little extras that made us feel special." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Great Safari in Southern Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 4 Oct 2015 and 12 Oct 2015
"We are seasoned safari goers, and each time we embark upon a new trip, there is always the question of whether it will be as good as our previous trips. Unfailingly, it is and this time was no exception. Every aspect of the trip was great and once again we had sightings of animals we'd not seen before, memorable new experiences and met some amazing people.

We would highly recommend this trip.

We cannot think of anything. We've been very happy with Expert Africa for a number of years now and this year was no exception." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"My Oct 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2015 and 18 Oct 2015
"Thank you Expert Africa for making this trip (to celebrate my 60th) so memorable.

We have had the most wonderful time. Too many highlights to mention.
Fishermans tours are also very reliable, always on time.
It has been worth every penny." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Our Oct 2015 safari to Tanzania/Kenya"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 2 Oct 2015 and 12 Oct 2015
"Our transfer from Olakari to Rekaro was very tedious with 2 flights and 2 35km road journeys quite apart from delay at Kenya immigration. The new EVisa was not fully understood by border control. The transfer from Wilson Airport to Jomo Kenyatta Airport was long and dusty but might have been even longer if routing through Nairobi itself. Kicheche camp location was a bit disappointing.

Our trip was amazing but even after planning nearly a year prior we were not able to experience our first choice camp in Naboisho especially as we only saw one vehicle with 2 people from Naboisho Assilia camp over 3 days when we were told that that camp was full."

"First Safari - Brilliant"

I visited Tanzania between 1 Oct 2015 and 15 Oct 2015
"This was our first safari so we were a bit apprehensive as we really did not know what to expect. But Expert Africa came up trumps and our trip was brilliant, just brilliant.

We were concerned about all the bits (flights, transfers and accommodation) fitting together, but it went like clockwork.

Impala Camp in Selous and Kwihala in Ruaha were perfect, just what we wanted; and the laid-back Pole Pole was the icing on the cake.

Many thanks to Liz for putting our trip together.

Our only problem now is matching it next year!!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 26 Sep 2015 and 3 Oct 2015
"Excellent trip. Very well organised safari holiday with some of the best sighting of cats we have ever had.

The parks are quiet and the guides excellent. We particularly enjoyed the adventure camp experience and will definitely do this again. It was also the first time we have flown between parks, it made the trip more expensive but with our limited time it made sense and was a great experience. All our connections worked like clockwork and the overnight international flight helps to maximise time on holiday. What was great was that the day travelling between parks was set up to include two game drives so it didn't feel like a transit day and in fact included two of our most exciting sightings of leopard and lions.

We chose the parks from the excellent reviews we had read on the website. The brochure pictures of wild dogs are perhaps misleading as the local guides said their range is so huge you are unlikely to see them and we are realistic enough to know that these are very difficult to see.

As with our previous holiday with Expert Africa to Namibia we were impressed by how much effort James put into listening to what we wanted and matching us with accommodation and an itinerary that suited us perfectly.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The information booklet that comes with the tickets is very useful.

We discovered that Tsetse flies are attracted to all dark colours, not just black and blue but also green and brown so save your beige and stone coloured clothing for Ruaha!

Having had two excellent trips of very different types with Expert Africa we trust your website so a travellers tips section written by you guys would be very welcome." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Fabulous holiday"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2015 and 2 Oct 2015
"We had a really great and relaxing holiday.

All the hotels and actives were well chosen for us. All our transfers worked very well.

Needed some advice from James about how much cash to take-and got it just right-thank you.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

May be worth adding in the information booklet that only need to pay departure tax for international flights from Zanzibar - but not from Dar

"Tanzania safari and beach (Sept 2015)"

I visited Tanzania between 19 Sep 2015 and 30 Sep 2015
"The trip went perfectly - we were met as scheduled for our various transfers and everything went to plan. The camps were very much as described on the Expert Africa website and the safaris more than met our expectations - this certainly ranks in our top 3 holidays ever - and we've been lucky enough to have had a lot of holidays all over the world!

From first contact Ellie was very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly - that was why despite finding a slightly cheaper quote, I got back to her to give her the chance to price match (which she did) - we were kept informed throughout and the literature provided was very useful - when I needed clarification on a couple of points Ellie was quick to reply.

The only thing I think we could have done differently is to visit Ruaha first - the parks were both excellent in different ways but Impala camp was special in terms of 'customer service' - the River Lodge was fine but coming after Impala it was always going to suffer by comparison! Either way we still enjoyed ourselves immensely, so a big thank you for that!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The issue regarding the date of dollar notes which are acceptable in Tanzania needs to be clarified - your original 'notes' booklet says notes should dated 'after 2000', although your letter of 7 September updated this to 2003. I had 3 or 4 20 dollar notes dated 2004 and a couple dated 2006 and Selous Impala camp said they were not acceptable - luckily I also had enough in sterling to cover this deficit. However when we got to Ruaha the manager said she was unaware of any problems with notes after 2000!

A relatively small matter but it could be important in some cases." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
