Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Our trip was a dream come true. It was clear from my first call to Expert Africa that you had a lot to offer.

You were smart listeners, patiently crafting a great trip that matched our best hopes." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"We would absolutely recommend Expert Africa to anyone. From our first call to our last it was excellent service.

We were placed with Jessica Plumb based on the area we desired to travel. She guided us with care and precision answering any and all questions we had. The attention to detailed planning was felt throughout the trip! We could not have asked for anything more!

The Nomad team was top notch. You can tell by talking to them they are a wonderful company with little turnover. They are a family and value their guest. The accommodations, although all different were excellent and the service was first class. The food was AMAZING. We really had no idea what to expect but it was delicious. The guides take ownership in making sure their guest see everything they possibly can. Wifi was a pleasant surprise and much appreciated to communicate briefly with those back home. Without a doubt we will assist in talking to anyone about our trip and the excellent service we received!

It's hard to say what was our favorite because we loved each and every minute! We have said again and again we could not have been treated any better any where else! We hope to return and WILL use Expert Africa.

Feel free to use any of our quotes!

Just make sure we have another excellent person next time and please let the Nomad team know how wonderful they were!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Our holiday was pretty much perfect! Claire found exactly what we didn't know we wanted. We hold her wholly responsible for the fantastic holiday we had.

The high standard of accommodation, safari and activities on the island were greatly appreciated.

The company running the safari camp and Fanjovi Island are a masterclass in customer service.

Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime!

The only reason I left "value for money" blank is because we have never paid so much for a holiday, nor have we been on a safari so have nothing similar to compare it to.
It was our best holiday, it exceeded our expectations, so no gripes on the "value for money".

No, we don't have any suggestions to improve your trips or your service ---- and that's unusual." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Jessica helped my husband and I plan our first trip to Africa in celebration of our wedding anniversary. She provided great guidance and suggested a trip itinerary to Tanzania and Zanzibar that fit our desires and budget.

We were so impressed that every detail was executed on the ground perfectly. Our transfers, meet and greets, and local flights were exactly as described in our itinerary.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us and Tanzania has forever changed our hearts and lives forever.

Thank you, Jessica!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was excellent and each of the camps (Siwandu / Ikuka / Fanjove) were perfect for what we wanted: quiet, close to nature but high end.

Almost every aspect of our trip was exciting and wonderful. It made for a perfect honeymoon.

Jessica @ Expert Africa listened carefully to what we really wanted and made recommendations that suited our wants and needs for the trip.
She was patient in updating the trip itinerary multiple times and we felt well looked after." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"This was our first trip to Africa (and Tanzania of course) and we loved it.

The highlight was the Safari which was excellent thanks to the camp and our guide." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"It was a trip of two halves really. We loved Nomad’s Kigelia, great authentic camp, excellent staff and food, exceptional guiding. We like Nomads philosophy too. Star gazing tents an asset. Wildlife and landscape good. Couldn’t have been happier.

However Ubuntu, despite being a very good camp, didn’t fulfill my needs. Although the wildlife viewings were good, the guides don’t really listen to what you want to see, in my case elephants and landscape, despite it being written in my details. The camp itself is good and the staff and food.

Expert Africa delivered on everything else and all our connections went smoothly, thank you Jessica.

Jessica and Tam (and Lindsey) were also very helpful and knowledgeable in the planning stages, giving me lots of information especially about Ruaha national park as I knew nothing about this park, or Kigelia.

I love Tanzania and I’m sure I’ll be back, maybe next time I will get the landscape shots in the Serengeti that I am after…. Fingers crossed.

Perhaps Asilia need to train their guides on the unusual guests who want to photograph the scenery and trees, as well as the animals, and who prefer elephants over cats! so that they can understand that, and who make special requests to do this.

All in all thank you Expert Africa, Jess and Tam for helping me to plan the trip and organising it for us." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Yet another wonderful trip from Expert Africa.

Everything went very smoothly. Many thanks to all concerned, and especially to Lyndsey.

She always understands really quickly what we want, provides suggestions on timing and accommodation, and goes on to build a brilliant holiday.
