"21 Days in Tanzania and Victoria Falls"
I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 7 Jan 2012 and 29 Jan 2012
"Overall good trip.
Expert Africa provided excellent seemless and timely pickup and drop-off services from the moment we landed in Africa. With this service, my daughter and I felt very safe; and it also made the trip that much more fun. Eleanor Dunkels did a great job from the time of preparation, advising us what to bring with us and where to go, catering to our requirements.

"Summary"
I visited Tanzania between 31 Dec 2011 and 13 Jan 2012
"Overall, the whole trip, accommodation and people that we met exceeded our expectations.
I was glad that Liz had persuaded me to opt for Pole Pole rather than Kinasi resort. The personal experience that you have with the resorts is invaluable.
A fantastic choice for our honeymoon and wetted our appetite for future adventures in Africa....Thanks very much!!

I visited Rwanda and 3 other countries between 23 Dec 2011 and 8 Jan 2012
"Additional Feedback - Patrick our guide was wonderful sometimes his timekeeping was slightly off but he excelled in everything else, the roads through Rwanda were sometimes very poor especially from Nyungwe to Lake Kivu however it was so scenic. he was so knowledgeable and catered to our whims especially with the gorillas,
We have already recommended Expert Africa to so many people after this trip for both the advisory service before and the quality of the holiday. We had the most wonderful holiday surpassing all our expectations. Thank you so much for arranging it.

"Ruaha & Selous"
I visited Tanzania between 22 Oct 2011 and 30 Oct 2011
"We really enjoyed the trip - Our fourth visit to Africa and we wondered beforehand whether it could match previous trips - It certainly did.
The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 12 Oct 2011 and 22 Oct 2011
"We had a fantastic trip and were very happy with the advice given by Expert Africa and the way the trip was put together.
All the lodges and hotels were excellent.
All ground transfers and domestic flights worked really well (however, in DAR the car did not have functioning seat belts)
The information material provided was very useful.
We will definitely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and hope to travel with you again one day.

"An absolutely wonderful, memorable holdiay"
I visited Tanzania between 11 Oct 2011 and 23 Oct 2011
"We had a truly wonderful time. We loved everywhere we stayed and were grateful that we had been guided to just the kind of places we liked.
Quite a few of the people we met were 'old safari hands' and without exception, they said that we could not have chosen better places to visit for our first trip to Tanzania, to get a slice of the 'real' safari experience.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Probably one of the most efficient and easy holiday companies we have dealt with. We had left things to the very last minute and despite this, the team was unfazed and helpful.
Would definitely use Expert Africa again. Also competitively priced." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Great experience marred by personal injury"
I visited Mozambique and 1 other country between 6 Oct 2011 and 23 Oct 2011
"The trip itself was fantastic. Maybe we should have stayed an extra night in the selous in order to stay at a different camp. The selous safari camp was the only one to offer single night accomodation.
We found the advice and assistance of Ellie in planning our holiday most helpful and informative. She was also very patient with us!
