"Tanzania 2014"
I visited Tanzania between 29 Oct 2014 and 14 Nov 2014
"It all worked superbly. Putting that sequence of elements together is bound to add up cost wise, but absolutely everything I asked for was organised, and all the bits added together remarkably efficiently. James was quite right that finishing with the beach rather than the safari was a better sequence."

"Tanzania 2014 - superb"
I visited Tanzania between 28 Oct 2014 and 11 Nov 2014
"Expert Africa's arrangements worked very well for us; faultless. It was our first time to use them and we would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others.
The push for tour 2014 trip to Tanzania was to revisit some of the lands that we had driven through in 1971 with our 2-man tent. Most of the guides were not born when we first made the journey and they were interested in our experiences in another time.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It was your brochure that brought you to our attention - we think it is excellent." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2014 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 23 Sep 2014 and 7 Oct 2014
"Until our flights home, we had a magnificent holiday and would recommend all the places. We have one minor and one major complaint about the trip ( I should however say at this stage that Ellie was hugely helpful from the beginning to the actual holiday.
Minor:- having spent £15k on the holiday, I felt that,unlike other travel agents we have dealt with, the lack of a personal call on our return and the failure to send us this form until I requested it was not very good PR for Expert Africa.
Major:- on our return, our flight itinerary expected us to sit for five hours at Dar airport ( outside on the roadside on uncomfortable chairs) while we waited for our connecting flight with Kenya Airways to Nairobi. As we were flying business class from Nairobi to London, why were we not on the earlier Kenyan Airways flight so that we could at least wait in a comfortable lounge?
For some reason I had a fever with temperature of 103 and insisted on taking the earlier flight ( they nearly would not let me fly and wanted me to go to the hospital to see a doctor) Because we were flying economy, we had to pay 130 dollars to change flights. On this flight were many of the guests we had met during our holiday that were also on the London BA flight.
As your client it is not up to us to check all the flight times as we have already made it clear that we would want all the most sensible connections. Also,the earlier flights were not new as one guest we had spoken to had booked a long time ago like us and because BA cancelled their Wednesday flights out to a nairobi just before we were going, necessitating a change in flights all round, you could have rechecked then. We do expect to hear from you on this matter as it is not satisfactory and left a bitter taste after such a wonderful holiday up until then."

"Great honeymoon destination"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 14 Jul 2014 and 29 Jul 2014
"Very well thought out trip with a great balance of beach and safari. Having two days on the beach first is definitely recommended to relax after the wedding / flight.
For safari would definitely recommend Beho Beho - Selous is a great options as we saw lots of game but without the crowds (some days we didnt see another jeep at all).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Not sure if its possible, but think about using another carrier than Costal Air.
Thank you for organising such an amazing honeymoon for us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"A stunning holiday."
I visited Tanzania between 2 Nov 2013 and 21 Nov 2013
"We had a lovely holiday and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.
It was a lovely combination of beach and safari and the areas of Selous and Ruaha were totally different experiences. The snorkelling on Mafia was unexpectedly wonderful. Expert Africa certainly guided us to some lovely places and it is one of the best experiences of Africa we have had. All our connections went very smoothly and we were well looked after."
