"Return to Kichaka- in the green"
"Tanzania"
We enjoyed the company and expertise of Chris Fox and his team, making it very personal." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania in the (very) Wet Season"
Just one very slight niggle - getting the Tanzanian visas on arrival in Dar proved to be a bit of a nightmare. There is no organisation resulting in passports for each member of the group being returned haphazardly one taking over an hour to handed back .TAB ( that's Africa baby!!)
We think that it is definitely worth the extra expense of applying for the visas in U.K.

"Another memorable trip"
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"
"My Dec 2015 trip"
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."

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