"Thanks for another great trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Sep 2014 and 28 Sep 2014
"We have done so many safaris we have lost count and we thought this trip would just be a fill in. Far from it! There was a lovely balance between the Selous and Ruaha camps and the variety of game was superb.
The variety of activities was less than we hoped as there are no park rangers in the camps (Apart from Kitchaka) to act as guards for walks and no night drives. However in all the camps we had a very personal service and guides who were with you throughout your stay. That and excellent beach relax are two advantages over Zambia.
Thank you James for your excellent choice of camps and for such a smooth running trip. Our appetite is still not satiated, Zambia still has that edge for us and we hope return in the not too distant future." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

All the accommodation, internal flights and everyone we dealt with was, without fail, excellent and we would not hesitate to use Expert Africa to arrange out trips in the future.

I visited Tanzania between 6 Sep 2014 and 20 Sep 2014

The trip was tailormade exactly to our requirements and we had a great time walking in the wilderness looking for wildlife.

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 6 Sep 2014 and 19 Sep 2014
"The service and advice given by Ellie at Expert Africa has been superb, far above our expectations. This meant we had the trip of a lifetime, a honeymoon to remember.
We had thought that doing one safari would be enough - we were wrong!! We now have to start saving for our next one!!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 4 Sep 2014 and 18 Sep 2014
"Our trip was absolutely wonderful, especially as I was visiting completely new areas in Tanzania to those I had been to as a child. All the transfers and flights were well co-ordinated and our welcome at each camp made us feel very special.
We were fortunate in having guides who were delighted to point out and identify some of the smaller animals and many of the birds. This made the safaris really enjoyable and fulfilling." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Our 3rd safari"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2014 and 9 Sep 2014
"Once again Expert Africa has helped us plan a superior holiday. As we have more experience with safari travel, they have helped us zero in on those camps that fulfill our wants.
We enjoy small, intimate camps with great managers and varied activities and the Expert Africa staff has done a great job of guiding us to the right locations. Two of the camps on this trip are owned by Asilia and we recommend them highly. It seems that Asilia does a great job of allowing each of their camps to have its own distinct personality, while providing the staff and management with excellent training opportunities. The third camp we visited on this trip was independently owned and was equally spectacular.
A big thank you to Claire Scott and Richard Trillo, with an occasional assist from Eleanor Dunkels, too!
We look forward to working with you again when we plan our next trip." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Awesome!"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 16 Aug 2014 and 27 Aug 2014
"An amazing trip that couldn't/wouldn't have happened without Liz and James at Expert Africa. He captured exactly what we wanted to do and made that possible in this trip. Fantastic people that we met whilst out there and definitely want to return!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps relook at Tembo hotel as I don't think it matched the quality that you seem to offer!
Give James Denny a pay rise!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Tanzania 2014"
I visited Tanzania between 29 Jul 2014 and 12 Aug 2014
"Excellent. Have not written much about the parks. While we are glad we visited Ngorongoro and lake Manyara (one person visited these over 30 years ago and they were much different) we would not not return to either. Tarangire, North Serengeti, and Ruaha were all great in their own ways and very much worth the visit, if we were to return we would explore different parts of the very large, diverse, and less trammeled Ruaha. Even with any minor complaints we would do it all again just as it occurred. We have a short slide show (with small camera) should you want a copy. Although we know people were trying to please and we saw the good side, everyone we met was very friendly and clearly took pride in what their country and people had to offer. NB: With a few exceptions, when you asked, you could get quite good, strong coffee rather than the instant coffee often served. Interesting for a major coffee-producing nation. We would consider Expert Africa for any future Africa travel, perhaps Namibia.
