Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"We loved our trip to Tanzania, which included Kuro Tarangire, Entamanu Ngorongoro, and Nomad Serengeti. Jessica was great through the whole process. Many thanks for a fabulous experience!

This was my second trip with Expert Africa. I’ve been more than impressed with the service and assistance I’ve received. I love your website and how easy it is to research properties and locations. I often surf your site just for fun! I have very much appreciated the care I’ve received pre-trip and upon arrival to my destination. Knowing assistance is waiting to shepherd me through customs and to my ground transportation is highly valued, especially as I often travel solo. Upon arrival in Tanzania, we were whisked through a separate, empty line while other travelers waited in a crowded cue. Given the long travel from the US to Africa, it’s nice to have the arrival expedited. I’m now planning a third trip with you to Zambia and know I will be taken care of. Thanks so much for opening up a whole new world for me. In my opinion, there is no better place to vacation than in Africa!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a great trip, particularly the wildlife parts and our visit to Kichaka and Beho Beho.

Fundu Lagoon was disappointing." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was fantastic.

Logistics were very smooth from landing in Kigali to drop off at JRO.

Expert Africa even had someone greet us at Kigali to escort us through customs, see us to a lounge while waiting, gather our bags, and direct us from the lounge to our driver.

Our driver in Rwanda was incredible. Just a fantastic experience." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"We had an enjoyable time, but the location and recommendations of the Olmara camp was not a good choice. We expected more expertise on this — or at least to have made us aware. Some of the side trips were not good use of time." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"A trip of a lifetime!

We really enjoyed every minute of it, from the flights to the accommodations to the game drives, all was perfectly organised and it felt like a true holiday, thank you!" Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"We have been very lucky to have done many safaris. This was one of our favourite ones.

There was a lovely contrast between the two camps and game parks. We were also very fortunate to have the same guide, Godwin, with us at Kuro who had been with us 11 years ago taking our family on a week long trip. We loved being with him again.

We saw a huge amount of game and birds in both Parks, but I am not sure if we would go in November again as we were unlucky with the short rains and had rain most days, some of which was torrential!

However, the upside was that there were very few other people around in either Park and we felt, while in Lamai, that we had the Serengeti to ourselves as didn’t see another game truck on one day. We would definitely choose to pick Nomad camps again as they are extremely well run and with great guiding.

"We had an amazing trip - thank you.

We would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa to freinds, and would wholeheatedly recommend any of the places we stayed at: Gran Melia in Arusha, Lemala Nanyukie, The Highlands and Zuri Zanzibar" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Fantastic stay in all ways.

There were some animals we did not see, due to the dry time of the year.

The staff did everything to help us to see as much as possible.

We felt very well taken care of." Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Tanzania safari

"Very happy with how Tamara guided us through the options for Walking safaris and organised the trip.

One small gripe the EA are aware of - we had quite a long lay over on arrival and time would have been better split 50/50 between Terminal 3 (International) and Terminal 1 (light aircraft). Terminal 1 was relatively basic and Terminal 3 would have afforded more and better eating options after 20 hours of travelling. Feedback on this was very quickly and sensitively handled.

We expect to use Expert Africa again !" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"This is my second trip to Tanzania and organized by Expert Africa. As the first one, everything was well organized which made the trip stress free: from the time I arrived in Tanzania until I left Kenya. Even the transfer from Tanzania to Kenya went smoothly.

Just a minor issue with wasn't really a problem: I was supposed to be guided through immigration when I landed in Kilimanjaro airport but no one was there. That wasn't an issue because it was my second there and I already know my way around. But it would be different if it was my first time.

When I landed at Wilson airport Nairobi, at first I couldn't find my transfer because my driver arrived earlier and was park on another street. Thanks to Expert Africa confirmation invoice I had all phone number needed and could get a hold of him.

Expert Africa cover every aspect of the trip and helps you plan a great trip. You can ask them any questions, they will have the answers. Lyndsey knows the area and the camps very well and did an excellent job at organizing this trip for me.

Overall, I enjoyed that trip better than the last one. Of course, there is a good amount of luck involved (weather and having my own car every time). I could see all animals I wanted and it allows to understand better what I am looking for in future safaris.

Lyndsey assisted me when there was a change with my international flights which disorganized the initial trip. Thanks to her experience and knowledge of the camps we could work out a new trip which over all I think turned out better." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari
