My Feb 2022 trip

Tanzania and 1 other country between 1 Feb 2022 and 1 Mar 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"Our trip was quite the odyssey. A long itinerary with lots of moving parts.

I was surprised and impressed by Expert Africa who took care of the hiccups and responded quite promptly to take care of the unforeseen circumstances that pop up on a trip like this.

I wish I could book EA for all of my trips, easily the best agency I have ever worked with.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, you are top notch."

"Pole Pole review"

6 nights Arrived 8 Feb 2022
"Surpassed my expectations.

Dive sites were fantastic. Dive boat a little rough but OK.

Nice rooms. Fabulous food. Loved the staff. Small resort so we got to know all of the guests.

Best place of the entire trip and some of the best diving I have done in my 22 years of my diving career. 20 stars."

7 nights Arrived 15 Feb 2022
"Wow Pemba is nice. Manta is gorgeous.

Breakfast was monotonous but overall quality of food was good.

Loved the spa treatments after diving. Great dive shop and team. Took excellent care of my gear too.

Coral Garden was a breathtaking site. Encourage guests to dive there, they must request it."

"Swahili Cooking Workshop review"

24 Feb 2022 • Morning excursion

We were running late so had to rush it a bit.

Brilliant setting and really hands on which I appreciate. The only thing I missed was not having the recipes to take home.

The food we cooked was delicious

Zuri Zanzibar

"Zuri Zanzibar review"

4 nights Arrived 25 Feb 2022
"I did not like this place. The gardens are truly gorgeous and the room was pretty but not my style.

Food was mediocre. Pool was just OK. I wonder if this is what it’s like to be on a Carnival Cruise, lol. Reminded me of a Shanghai La property.

Beautiful first impression but an exercise in overpriced mediocrity."
