Africa was awesome!

Tanzania and 1 other country between 15 Jun 2019 and 30 Jun 2019

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our trip was a truly fantastic and we would highly recommend it and Expert Africa to others.

The itinerary worked very well for us. We were met as we were told we would be - in each place and on time.

The choices of accommodation were spectacular, as was the food and service.

And the animals did not disappoint!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We would highly recommend Expert Africa. Our dealings with Maruska made our life so much better and she put together a marvellous plan."

Rivertrees Country Inn

Rivertrees Country Inn

"Excellent accommodation"

1 night Arrived 15 Jun 2019
"Rivertrees Country Inn was an excellent introduction to Tanzania.

The serene setting beside a river, the well-tended gardens, the attentive staff and the beautifully appointed rooms were a treat. While not actually close to any particular points of interest. for travellers arriving at Kilimanjaro Airport en route to the national parks, it is as good a place as any from which to launch your expeditions.

Highly recommended."

Lemala Ngorongoro

Lemala Ngorongoro

"Atmospheric safari camp at Ngorongoro"

2 nights Arrived 16 Jun 2019
"Peaceful tented camp on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. While not actually blessed with views to the crater floor, the camp has impressive vistas across the rainforest canopy that encircles the crater.

The tents are well appointed, with reasonably plush interiors and plenty of blankets and hot water bottles for the chillier-than-expected temperatures. The staff were very friendly and wickedly generous with drinks - be careful with the gin and tonics! Communal dining can be hit and miss, but we were fortunate to have entertaining companions for both nights of our stay - basically it was a well-lubricated dinner party with excellent catering and wonderful new friends.

The camp is close to the Lemala gate, so a quick early morning getaway is easy to beat the crowds to the crater floor.

Highly recommended"

Lake Manyara Safari

Lake Manyara Safari

"Lake Manyara Safari review- Lovely area."

16 Jun 2019 • All-day excursion

We only spent a short while in this park but it was pretty with a great deal of wildlife in a small space.

The highlight was seeing a flapped chameleon crossing the road in front of us!

Safari in Ngorongoro Crater

"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review- Great exc"

17 Jun 2019 • All-day excursion

The trip into the crater started nice and early and we had a full day to see the landscape and wildlife.

It is a beautiful caldera and the wildlife abundant.

Unfortunately our views of rhino where only from a great distance, but otherwise we had plenty of animals to spot.

Kati Kati Camp

Kati Kati Camp

"Giraffe!"

2 nights Arrived 18 Jun 2019
"We arrived at Kati Kati late in the day to find several giraffe strolling through the camp- brilliant!

Kati Kati camp was neatly set up, the tents were clean and tidy, whilst more basic than other sites. The staff very friendly and the food great.

The animal life in the central Serengetti area was amazing while we were there."

Serengeti under Canvas

Serengeti under Canvas

"Beautiful camp!"

2 nights Arrived 20 Jun 2019
"This tented camp felt truly luxurious and the food was outstanding.

Attention to detail was obvious and the staff were very hospitable and polished.

Unfortunately the expected wildebeest and zebra migration had not quite arrived due to changes in the usual rain pattern but this was made up for by the beauty of the camp itself."

Namiri Plains Camp

Namiri Plains Camp

"Quiet spot"

2 nights Arrived 22 Jun 2019
"Namiri Camp feels a long way from other places- which it is- and we loved!

The area has far fewer vehicles trafficking it compared with the central part of the Serengetti.

The camp itself was very nicely appointed and again the staff were well trained, extremely knowledgable and friendly and the food was terrific."

The rooftop area, where breakfast is served, can be accessed by guests at any time and has fabulous views and breezes.

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Awesome"

2 nights Arrived 26 Jun 2019
"Pongwe Beach Hotel met all expectations and more. It was a terrific way to wash of the Serengetti dust.

The whole experience was perfect- we only wish we'd had longer. The rooms were beautiful, the view gorgeous and the food fabulous.

The only slight disappointment was the snorkelling- but we have been spoiled previously by seeing pristine coral elsewhere."
