"Zanzibar Trip"

I visited Zanzibar between 5 Mar 2010 and 12 Mar 2010
"We only booked part of our trip to Tanzania through Expert Africa - the final week (of three in total) on Zanzibar (we booked the rest elsewhere as we were climbing Kilimanjaro). We really enjoyed all three weeks - Tanzania is a great country to visit. The people are really friendly, the wildlife and countryside is amazing and the Swahili cuisine was delicious. Oh, and the sun shone while it was winter back in England! Zanzibar, with its beautiful beaches, was a great place to relax after a couple of more active weeks on the mainland. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and would love to return one day.

Suggestions for improvement:

Not really - we were extremely impressed with the service we received and have already recommended Expert Africa to others. We had problems while we were way as our flights to and from Zanzibar were cancelled - Liz did an excellent job of helping sort out alternative travel, ensuring our honeymoon was not spoilt in anyway by these problems."

"Excellent!"

I visited Zanzibar between 20 Feb 2010 and 5 Mar 2010
"A greatly enjoyable trip. A very, very special place and people!

Expert Africa organized this perfectly for us! Thank you! It couldn't have been better.... we wish we could have stayed for longer.

There are so many things to do and see, yet one can have a trully relaxing and laid back time if/when they choose to.

Staying in a variety of places during our 2-week stay at Zanzibar was ideal in terms of seeing and experiencing different parts of the island which can be quite different from one another.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We were grealty satisfied from Expert Africa and our trip to Zanzibar.

We would highly recommend to anyone visiting Zanzibar for the first time (or even second etc) to use Expert Africa to organize their travel arrangements. Well done for offering an excellent service." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

I visited Seychelles between 19 Feb 2010 and 7 Mar 2010
"Good trip, mostly as expected.

Irritations were mainly caused by Masons, they seem to consider a whole day for whatever transfer is reasonable, it could be arranged more tightly and efficiently.

Also they seem strangley unaware of local timetables booking us on a non-existent ferry crossing, but at least they tracked us down to tell us.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The info on Bird island could be better, we got all the messages about very little luggage and complied, messing around to store luggage and then annoying Bird Island by turning up to diner in shorts.

Other people just went out there with 20 KG+ each." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Seychelles holiday

"Our Botswana Holiday"

I visited Botswana between 19 Feb 2010 and 3 Mar 2010
"We had a wonderful time. Other than small observations made in the feedback, we couldn't fault the trip.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The only observation I can make is that it was a bit of a shock going from Xaranna (top luxury boutique style accomodation) to Little Kwara (more rustic African experience). It made Little Kwara seem very basic, when in fact it was lovely in its own right.

Overall, we were delighted with our trip and thank you to you and your staff for making everything run so seemlessly." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari

I visited Tanzania between 17 Feb 2010 and 5 Mar 2010
"Overall, we enjoyed our trip especially because it provided us an opportunity to spend time with dear friends.

Although we were not entirely satisfied with Sand Rivers or Pole Pole, our dissatisfaction was mainly due to issues that could be resolved through somewhat more strict management of these properties.

Furthermore, what disappointed us about the Sand Rivers guiding may be why others think their guiding is superb. In other words, our dissatisfaction was due more to a mismatch of philosophy than any particular failing of the guide.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Claire was a pleasure to work with. She responded to my emails quickly and with all the information I needed.

Although we were not entirely satisfied with either Sand Rivers or Pole Pole, the reasons for our dissatisfaction have nothing to do with Expert Africa or Claire. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Expert Africa again." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"My 2010 Tanzanian Holiday"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2010 and 28 Feb 2010
"The trip to Tanzania went smoothly without a hitch and fully met with our expectations, thanks to the organisation from Expert Africa (They live up to their name).

I have compiled a travelogue which details the trip in full and this can be found on my website.

www.photosnapshot.co.uk.

Take a look, you may find some useful information, especially if you are planning a trip to this vicinity.

Would I travel with this company again - of course !

"Namibia Revisited to Victoria Falls"

I visited Namibia and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2010 and 4 Mar 2010
"It was a wonderful trip. We were aware that we were not doing this trip at an ideal time of the year, but, it enabled us to see a different side to Namibia having exprienced the South and the deserts previously this was totally different.

We found the driving along the Caprivi Strip rather monotonous, but, it certainly gave us a feeling of being the real Africa with the small Villages along the way and cattle, goats and children scattered in the road until the occasional car/lorry approached. Everyone we stopped to speak to were friendly and happy to communicate with us.

It was interesting that apart from Waterberg all the other lodges we stayed at were on islands which again made it very different to our last visit and allowed us to see the wild life of the rivers and wetlands.
The Victoria Falls was our highlight which we wanted it to be.

No. This is our 2nd trip with you and we would highly recommend you to all our friends and family." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 5 on a Namibia trip
