Travel reviews by Mr & Mrs LB, from Alderney, Channel Islands

Another wonderful holiday

On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 19-Jan-2012 and 29-Jan-2012 and I travelled with 1 other person.

Once again we have had a great trip to Africa. We knew that Beho Beho and Oyster Bay would be incredible and they didn't disappoint. Sand Rivers was good and we enjoyed seeing a different part of the Selous.

Our only problem, which was quite beyond your control, were the biting insects that had appeared after the 2 days of rain in the Selous before we arrived!

I would like to thank Ellie for all her help - as usual there were so many e mails between us and she was just so efficient and patient in answering and then organising our trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We have used Expert Africa for several years now and always find your staff extremely pleasant and helpful. We have never had any problems with arrangements - drivers always there to collect us etc.

We have told many people to contact you and just wish that other travel companies could be like you.

Comments in your brochure are accurate - I can really find no faults at all with Expert Africa!

One of our best holidays

On this trip, I visited Tanzania between 22-Jan-2011 and 1-Feb-2011 and I travelled with 1 other person.

We love Africa and this holiday exceeded expectations.

We saw a lot of wildlife, lions every day, and without exception everyone we met was welcoming and eager to give us a good time. We thought we saw more wildlife at Selous Safari but at Beho Beho there were lots of new experiences for us. What was good was that we saw very few other vehicles when on our game drives, it was not like the Serengeti or Ngorongoro where there are often 20 vehicles around one lion!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We have now used Expert Africa 3 times - Namibia, Botswana and now Tanzania - and can't fault you for your efficiency and helpfulness. Am now looking at your new brochure for ideas for our next triop to Africa!

A great holiday

On this trip, I visited Botswana between 12-Jun-2009 and 23-Jun-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.

Overall my trip experience was:

Excellent

We enjoyed the whole trip, everything went well, food and accommodation were extremely good and everyone we met was very kind and helpful.

Maybe it would have been good to see a cheetah and a lion but you can't have everything!!!!

Suggestions for improvement:

This is our second trip with Expert Africa (we went to Namibia last year), we have been very impressed with your services, we particularly appreciated having someone who took us right the way through from first enquiry to the ticketing and that you have 'experts' on each country who know 'their' countries so well.

Susannah was so helpful and answered my e mails immediately. I am sure that when we return to Africa we will be using you again.
