Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs B from North Yorkshire
Our holiday in Zanzibar
On this trip, I visited Zanzibar between 8-Nov-2008 and 16-Nov-2008 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Excellent
We had a truly wonderful time. We found nothing but courtesy and friendliness in Zanzibar, and everyone was incredibly welcoming.
We were taught a few Swahili phrases each day by staff at Fumba Beach Lodge - and it really is worthwhile using it with local residents. The organisation of the trip by Expert Africa was superb: they really know what they are talking about, and they took the trouble over even the smallest details.
We came back much refreshed - and, once in the UK in gloomy November, immediately wished we were back there!
Suggestions for improvement:
No suggestions - you clearly understand your clientele and how you can tailor a holiday to suit their requirements.

We have always believed that acting responsibly is the only way to approach tourism and we're one of
the few companies to hold AITO's original coveted 5-star status for responsible tourism. It's a lead
that others are now following.
