Travel reviews by Mr and Mrs H - Essex
Out of Africa Back to Manningtree
On this trip, I visited Tanzania & Zanzibar between 18-Jul-2009 and 26-Jul-2009 and I travelled with 1 other person.
Wonderful and glad we booked at short notice on the basis of the short S Times note.
Tanzania comes across with great credit - a very friendly country with helpful people.A water/land safari was a real plus and exceeded expectations.
Suggestions for improvements:
You compare well with other companies that we have used elsewhere in the world and we will use you as the reference base for any future trips to Africa. Mateo (manager at Selous) spoke highly of EA and mentioned that you visited the region to check on the details rather than took stuff off web sites.

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.
