Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Overall the trip was great.

In hindsight we would have spent less time at Fundu Lagoon and perhaps gone to Ruaha as well as Selous, but all in all we had a fantastic time. Everything was organised well by Expert Africa ." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Our 3rd trip to Africa wirh Expert Africa that lived up to and beyond our expectations. The choice of camps and itinerary were excellent.

Would not have changed anything except a few days longer at a couple of camps if we had time" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"A fantastic trip to Botswana, Zambia and Tanzania (my fourth safari); the three weeks flew by. Everything ran smoothly, and was as expected. A few flights were inevitably delayed, but not significant enough to adversely effect the itinerary.

My preferences/interests had clearly been passed onto the camps, and acted upon, which was much appreciated.

An awful lot of work goes into organising a 3-week long trip, and Ellie was most knowledgeable. At times when I contacted her she was very busy and hence there were sometimes some delays in her responses. But everything came together perfectly, and I had a terrific time. I'll be back!"

"We had a wonderful holiday, with lots of variety. Both camps we stayed in were excellent and offered different game viewing experiences.

Stone Town provided a completely different 'town' experience, while Chumbe was the perfect place for relaxation. Staff everywhere we stayed were first-class.

All our connections worked perfectly. Many thanks to Liz for organising everything so competently." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We were delighted with the trip overall, despite a few things regarding the Highlands.
Right from the start Liz was incredibly helpful, making useful suggestions and coming up with a great itinerary.
She was great when Kenya airways changed their flight schedule, and we had to use a different carrier.

Overall the trip was excellent - the middle part at Ubuntu was the highlight, followed by the Rwanda section and the Highlands last of all, but the whole experience was great.

We would certainly use Expert Africa again - and I was recommending someone only today to get in touch for something they were planning." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"An outstanding trip. We may have been lucky in having both camps almost to ourselves but even without this I am sure we would have had the unhurried, individually tailored and thoughtful introduction to safari that we were looking for.

All arrangements worked well, any unexpected issues were dealt with quickly and with no fuss, and overall we had confidence that we could get on with enjoying ourselves." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We went for the eclipse, as much as the safari and we were not disappointed on either front.

The itinerary was perfect with a mix of what felt an authentic bush safari experience and a dash of more luxury towards the end. We found were were more comfortable with the bush than anything else & that was a wonderful revelation.

Expert Africa (Liz in particular) were a remarkably efficient and knowledgeable team - questions were answered swiftly, despite booking flights outside of Expert Africa, they were still happy to help me negotiate flight changes with my agent......over & above.

Other questions were also answered swiftly, and the one 'problem' was dealt with quickly & professionally.

Camps we chose suited us and we enjoyed both equally for different reasons." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
