This is the second time we have travelled with you. We will consider using your services again should we return to Africa and certainly recommend you to others." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Very helpful in planning the trip. All arrangements went well." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had never been to Tanzania or done a Safari holiday before. We absolutely loved it and will definitely want to do another safari holiday in the future to Africa.

Both Selous and Ruaha were amazing places to get really close to the animals and the scenery was breathtaking. We would also like to thank Liz Wollen and Eleanor Dunkels at Expert Africa who spent a lot of time talking us through the different camps and locations. Their help was immeasurable and their advice was spot on. Our trip ran like clockwork and their recommendations were superb. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it.

Not really. We were very happy with all the recommendations, received literature and general assistance." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We put this into our top three holidays - but we're not sure what the other two might be! We were delighted with our choice of camps which we alighted upon after full answers to our detailed questions: which suggests to us that you made a good effort at trying to understand what we were looking for (and made us think about what we really wanted).

Beho Beho managed to create a really welcoming safari house party atmosphere (probably helped by the fact that the owner's mother "Mrs B" was staying). Seasoned safari folk might find it a little too sanitised and soft but we enjoyed it all the same.

Kwihala really does deserve a higher profile. it's not the poshest but it's for real, in a genuine piece of wilderness. Pietro was really enthusiastic. He really has a passion for lions which, perhaps almost got in the way of the wider safari experience such as simply stopping and looking at the "normal" wildlife. Also chasing the lions meant that breakfast and lunch almost went forgotten. Now, we know that nothing is predictable in the field but it did mean that on a couple days the gap between lunch and dinner was almost indigestably short.

Pole Pole was a complete downshift in pace, and a totally welcome one too. All services were delivered faultlessly and effortlessly. The atmosphere in the village was good too." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Everything was organised perfectly and went like clockwork.The amount of US dollars I was advised to take was insufficient.

Our Safari in the Selous game reserve was truely amazing with so many great memories. I can not recommend it enough.

I also had contact with Liz Wollen [Ed: one of the Expert Africa team] who was also very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble even when I changed my requirements in my initial enquiry. Everything was organised and detailed perfectly.

Thank you Expert Africa. I would have no doubts in recommending anyone to you." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was a wonderful experience.

We could only manage one week away and the balance of walking/camping to time in Sand River and Beho Beho was just right. Beho Beho sets the standard for safari camps.

It's hard to find any faults! We have had numerous holidays in Africa and this was probably the best.

Well done." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari
