I would reccomend people to use Expert Africa and to visit all the camps we went to!! Thank you for your advice."

Impala Camp

Impala Camp

"Amazing start to an amazing holiday!"

3 nights Arrived 24 Sep 2010
"Fantastic camp! From the moment, we arrived and met our guides gerad and arrid, to the time we were waved off to our next resort - the experience was faultless.

Our guides were fantastic - showing us all the things we wanted to see, plus educating us with their knowledge and understanding of the local enviroment and animals. It was really nice having the options for both game drives (the driving is very exhilarating compared to the UK roads!) and boat drives (which are very relaxing and chilled out after the bumping around in the 4by4s)

The tents were great - enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of the hippos and waking up to a giraffe eating the tree by the tent.
The food and service within the camp was varied and very tasty."

Kwihala Camp

Kwihala Camp

"Kwihala - A great experience!"

3 nights Arrived 28 Sep 2010
"Really enjoyed this camp - Pietro our guide made it for us... his enthusiam and determination to find us Big Cats was amazing and exhilarating especially with the Itallien driving! And he came out on top with our first hour on game drive seeing lions, cheetahs and a leopard!

The camp itself was really well designed with HUGE tents and lovely social areas.

Evenings were great with pre-drinks around the camp fire followed by group meals with everyone else in the camp which were tasty (some of the meals could have been improved) and nice to chat to everyone."

Pongwe Beach Hotel

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Pongwe Beach Hotel review"

5 nights Arrived 1 Oct 2010
"After a week on safari, this was PERFECT! The accomadation was nice looking out over the beach. Talcum powder sand and Turqouise sea - picture postcard.

Days were spent lying in hammocks reading books and playing in the sea. Snorkelling straight from the beach is very limited but when you go out with the boat, it is really worth it - lots of fish!

Service lacked the personal touches that we had recieved previously through our trip, but it was still fairly good. The food was nice and fairly flexible when wanting to change the set meals. The Seafood platter on the beach was LOVELY!

Cocktails and games in the bar before dinner was really nice.

Bear in mind that many people really stick to being in couples at this resort so not overly social but perfect if you want to have some time out. Pure Relaxation!!!!!!!"

Zanzibar Coffee House

Zanzibar Coffee House

"Zanzibar Coffee House review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Oct 2010
"This was perfect for what we needed.

The location was good, however be aware that it is really in the alley ways so can be quite daunting at night.
The roof terrace was really nice for both the scrummy breakfast and also to just go and read your book with a cup of their lovelky coffee after a day of sight seeing.

The rooms were fine.

The service was okay - not overly friendly but they were helpful when asked to arrange our evening meal and taxi for us."
