Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"A wonderful trip. Such criticisms as I have made did not in any way detract from our overall enjoyment but you asked for comments so......." Read full review: 46 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We had the most incredible, amazing holiday. It was truly a holiday of a lifetime.

The gorillas were unforgettable in Rwanda and I would definitely advise others who are thinking of going to do a trip to the golden monkeys first and two trips to the gorillas, as the second trip was even better than the first. We got so close to the gorillas we could have touched them (we didn't!). A silverback actually brushed past my husband - we all held our breath!

The safari in Tanzania was also incredible, but made even more special by our driver Faso who was so knowledgeable about all the animals and birds.

The holiday was not cheap, but it was worth every penny that we paid and would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa. In fact, we are already of thinking about doing another safari, once we have saved up a bit!!

I want to thank Expert Africa for organising our trip.

We have lots of videos (especially of the gorillas) and photos if you would like us to send you some." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"All around very satisfied with the trip and the interaction with Expert Africa.

Lyndsey and James were very very helpful in helping us choose what was right for us.

Extremely knowledgable, patient and flexible to accommodate our constantly changing requests.

I would definitely book with Expert Africa again and am happy to recommend them.

"I have been wanting to visit southern Tanzania for years, but was unsure of how to put the right package together.

Expert Africa had just the right itinerary and made it easy for me. It was everything I wanted, and I really appreciate your help." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was fantastic. There were still plenty of migrating wildebeest around and fabulous cat and rhino sightings. All the arrangements worked perfectly, all the staff we encountered were excellent and the camp was great." Read full review: 5 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

"Expert Africa provided an amazing service. As first time safari travellers we didn't know what to expect, but the advice and knowledge we were given was exceptional.

The options presented to us were spot on in terms of what we were hoping for, and our [many] questions were answered in detail and without hesitation. The agent made our trip unforgettable, and his recommendations were perfect. We will always be grateful to Expert Africa for giving us the honeymoon of our dreams.

Thank you Expert Africa and thank you James.

"We are huge Africa fans, and once you get away from their shambolic cities and airports, you get to see the best of the continent.
Our experiences at Nairobi airport, both with Coastal and Kenyan Airways/immigration sadly tainted a great trip.

I would probably not repeat the mobile camp stays, which in loo and shower terms were not satisfactory.
The quality/experience of guiding in Serengeti and Ngorongoro was not a patch on Selous Impala and Ruaha in Southern Tanzania, nor compared to Robin Pope camps in Zambia.
Our guide at the crater was lazy and not motivated - probably due to lower absolute level of tips from only two clients.
Lamai was a unique setting and well set up.

Pole Pole had a fantastic location, but was let down by poor maintenance of the showers - no hot water in that climate, and at that price is not good news. The staff were friendly, but not nearly as professional as at Kaya Mawa in Malawi. The Dive and watersports centre made our visit to Mafia memorable, in particular the fish BBQ on the sandbar after snorkelling at the reef."

"We were very pleased with our trip.

Some people may think it odd to spend the visit in one park, but it gave us the chance to see the different environments in a leisurely way, something we enjoy immensely.

It's impossible to pick one favourite camp due to this, and all gave good value for money." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
