"A wonderful holiday"
We were very happy with all the places we went to and felt that Expertafrica had found places that really suited us. Everything worked like clockwork until the last flight home. We would (and did) recommend your company to other people and if we do another trip to Africa would certainly consult you.
Suggestions for improvement:
Can't think of any!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
"Sensational Selous"
Someone at Expert Africa (not Peter) asked if we had ever been to Dar es salaam when trying to make us feel that another night there was ok, but it is still not somewhere we would choose to spend any time. This person also said that we would "only" be missing dinner at Impala camp, whereas in fact we missed an afternoon activity, dinner, morning activity and breakfast as well as being in a beautiful place. If that person can compare the two places then I wouldn't want to go on holiday with them!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"safari/beach"
The first day was quite long and it appears that Asilia forgot to provide us with a lunchbox and so the camp had to make us a late lunch when we arrived" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

A special mention for the efficiency of our driver in Zanzibar with Eco Tourism

"We've been to Heaven and seen Hell"
Excellent guide in Rwanda
Patrick was helpful, courteous and knowledgeable. Everything one could ask for.
The cancelled flights and lost luggage were most annoying but we got over that and the agents got our luggage to us after 2 days so not too bad in the end. Shooting Star found us bits to get by on including a size 12 bikini for my size 16 body ! not pretty sight but did allow me to swim.
All your agenbts were completely efficient
Thought Stone Town was the dirtiest place we had ever visited and one night was definately enough. It does not in anyway compare with Marrakesh. There was more litter and dirt in one square foot of Stone town than in the whole of Rwanda. And where was hell - being inside the old underground slave cell - totally atmospheric and hauntingly awful.

No you seem to have it spot on - maybe a secreatary to help fill in this form!!
Thank you for a wonderful holiday" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Boswell/Wilson trip"
If we go down to Fish River Canyon next year we would not go back to Canon Lodge (which we would never recommend) and would like to try somewhere else.
Well done Sabina for your help and patience in organizing the trip - much appreciated." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 3 on a Namibia trip
"Just magical"
The people, the climate and the landscape made our time there magical and one day we will go back.
Suggestions for improvement:
We suggest that guests book a day room at The Slipway at Dar on arrival and prior to transfer to Mafia.
We wished we had done this as when we arrived the shops etc were shut at first (it was early on a Sunday morning) and we were exhausted and needed a bed & a shower!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
"AMAZING ANIMAL ADVENTURE AND EXOTIC ZANIBAR"
like all holidays there were elements that we might have done differently had we known then what we know now.. . we did try to read up as much as possible beforehand and read between the lines as well. and of course everybody's expectations are so different. I would have loved to have stayed in lots more places on the safari and experience all the different styles and types of lodges, and scenery.
overall it was a great holiday." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday
