"Our June 2019 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 14 Jun 2019 and 30 Jun 2019
"Everything was seamless! All transfers went off without a hitch, whether by land or air. Having someone from Coastal Aviation walk us through our arrival in KJO international airport to the domestic terminal and through all the security points was so reassuring.
This was our first safari, so we didn't know what to expect on either service or accommodations. We needn't have worried as everything was just super! This will be a hard act to follow for any future agents." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"Serengeti Infinity"
I visited Tanzania between 25 Feb 2019 and 11 Mar 2019
"The four of us have now done several safaris and always enjoy that special experience. Expert Africa are generally a big part of the process and have always delivered. The camps they direct us towards are always of the highest standard.
The brief this time was to experience the calving of the Wildebeest and to see some cats. These boxes were both ticked. I am a keen photographer and would offer this observation. The plains of the Southern Serengeti are so vast that the majority of the time, no matter what lens, my focal point was generally 'infinity'. We have been able to have more intimate sightings in other places.
The trip taught us to never take things for granted. One becomes so use to regular sightings of Elephant in Africa that the paucity on this trip was a surprise and slightly disappointing. I would be interested to know if this was just a seasonal thing or indicative of the areas visited. A definitive answer wasn't really forthcoming at either camp."

"My Feb 2019 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Feb 2019 and 21 Feb 2019
"We had a wonderful time.
The combination of the comfort and relaxing atmosphere of Gibbs Farm with six nights under canvas at Dunia and Olakira worked very well.
We saw the migration at Olakira but the game viewing at both camps was exceptional." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Had fun. Expensive trip"
I visited Tanzania between 7 Feb 2019 and 13 Feb 2019
"More honest guidance on what’s at each camp/ site. Feel some bias based on availability at camps.
Facilities were overall excellent, guide exceptional. Besides Ndutu site we didn’t have any vegetarian food problems" Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Great 2 week safari during the migration "
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 6 Feb 2019 and 19 Feb 2019
"We had a wonderful trip. It was our first safari in east Africa and something we will do again. In the past we have self driven and we were wary of being with a guide but Esto was excellent and knowledgeable. In particular he did not join large groups of vehicles around the big ticket wildlife causing them stress but drove on and found us something else that we could watch quietly."

"My Jan 2019 trip"
I visited Rwanda and 1 other country between 31 Jan 2019 and 13 Feb 2019
"Magical trip, especially Rwanda was a gem.
We loved the rolling hills, the beautiful birds, the ever smiling people and of course the gorillas (but Rwanda is much more than the gorillas, let's be clear)
The trip was perfectly prepared by EA again, thanks to Lyndsey.
Sula, our Primate safari guide deserves a special mention!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Rwanda safari

"Tanzania - a fabulous country"
I visited Tanzania between 24 Jan 2019 and 12 Feb 2019
"Excellent. Serengeti, followed by Selous, followed by Zanzibar - a perfect combination I think.
The decision to stay in two camps for four nights each rather than move around more, was a good one. And 2 nights at the Crater in Sopa Lodge also worked very well." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
