"Ruaha & Mafia"

I visited Tanzania between 28 Dec 2009 and 8 Jan 2010
"Overall, a good combination 5 Nights in Ruaha and 4 Nights on Mafia. Would definately consider going back to Ruaha at another time to see it in the dry season.

My generic comment about the trip was Ellie at Expert Africa. She provided excellent advice, information, suggested itinaries, alternative and answered a number of silly questions. In fact when BA cancelled our flight back from Dar es Salaam, she even contacted us to see if BA were sorting it out and we were being looking after. we then had a number of text (SMS) exchanges as she check status, etc.

Apart for the BA issues above, everything worked out exactly as planned, being met and escorted between each transfer point.

I would definately consider using Expert Africa again (especially Ellie) and no hesitation recommending to friends, etc.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I would recommend reviewing you entries for Kwihala as the basis for the camp seems to be changing. In particular I understand it will no longer move and that the Bucket showers will be replaced by a normal shower.

The brochure, made me think where we might go, the web site help narrow down the options and Ellie provide the detailed knowledge and advice to finalist the trip including quotations. All elements were intrical and the speedy, informative response of Ellie was a key factor in choosing to book with Expert Africa. I did contact 3 providers with my initial ideas and Ellie initial response was by far the best." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

I visited South Africa between 20 Dec 2009 and 4 Jan 2010
"We had a fantastic holiday - lots of relaxing doing not a lot, some sightseeing and some days walking.. We achieved our aim of a hot Christmas and seeing some cricket abroad - A promising recipe to be repeated with or without the cricket.

"Fantastic Tanzania"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 12 Dec 2009 and 25 Dec 2009
"This was the holiday of a lifetime, everything ran smoothly and the organisation of the whole trip was very good.

We are quite widely travelled and rarely return to the same place but we would certainly return to Tanzania and Zanzibar with Expert Africa.

"Well planned section of our overall holiday"

I visited Zanzibar between 11 Dec 2009 and 17 Dec 2009
"This week fitted in very well indeed with our overall plan (which was centred on visit, largely arranged by ourselves, to family in Rwanda after leaving Zanzibar). Eco & Culture Tours service was confined to moving us between airport, Serena and Mbweni.

They performed all this perfectly, except perhaps the last occasion when the planned car was a little late because all the petrol stations were closed by power cuts, so quite understandable. Replacement vehicle arrived very promptly.

No further comments.

We had heard of Expert Africa from someone who had been to Namibia with you, and you obviously knew the area very well; we did not seek any other quotations. In the event it was, for us, a good decision not ot try and squeeze in a short game park visit." Read full review: 6 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"A First Class Foray"

I visited Botswana and 1 other country between 8 Dec 2009 and 22 Dec 2009
"This vacation – our fourth in four years with Expert Africa – was definitely the best we have done so far. We achieved in full our two main objectives, ie seeing Africa green from the rains (including a storm in the Kalahari while we were there); and focusing primarily on birds (with copious help from our expert guides, nearly 200 species identified over 12 days including some real rarities). Furthermore, we managed to see more species of mammals than we have on any of our previous three trips despite the more abundant vegetation and the national park restrictions in the Kalahari; and, of course, we had the pleasure of the Victoria Falls.

The high bird count was in part a reflection of the season. But we also felt that we benefitted in that respect – and similarly with mammals – from staying in four very different terroirs during our trip, ie the “mighty Zambezi” just above Vic Falls, Linyanti, the Delta and the Kalahari. And, needless to say, we would not have been anything like as successful without expert guides in all four camps in which we stayed.

Given the amount of moving around we did – more than usual, especially when one includes the day-trip into Zimbabwe – we should also note that the logistics worked throughout with commendable smoothness thanks to a combination of your planning and extremely competent and pleasant people looking after us locally.

In sum, this was a great trip." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Botswana safari
