Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"This was to be a special and rare trip for us as all members of the family were to be together.

In fact the trip met and even exceeded our expectations. We have separately commented between us that this has been the trip of a lifetime.

Many thanks to Expert Africa and special thanks to Ellie who patiently guided us towards the right destinations and the right places to stay. We are very grateful.

We look forward to talking to you again - sometime - about our next trip!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Our trip was absolutely incredible.

Liz worked with us and gave sound advice to create a trip that was beyond our expectations. Since I was a little girl I had dreamt about going on a safari in Africa and this was everything I could hope for and more. Our trip was completely personalized and we saw a lion chase a herd of wildebeest and kill one and then drag it almost a mile back to the pride. It was just us and our driver and guide. It was the law of nature.

Our guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and warm. We got to decide what to see and how long to stay. We watched the antics of baby baboons playing and swinging in the tree and playing king of the mountain. We saw a family of elephants playing in the water and a baby elephant nursing. It was just right mix of rustic and comfort and the everyone was so warm and helpful.

It was truly a trip of a lifetime." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"The entire experience from start to finish was best in class. We truly had a once in life time experience and we are so happy we chose to work with Expert Africa.

I would strongly urge anyone thinking of going to Africa to work with you guys. The reviews we had read to help us decide and plan were all accurate which is alway a bonus as well.

If I had to do it all over again, there are minor ( and I mean minor) things I would have changed. The first day was an extremely long day of travel. After 21hrs of traveling we were a bit surprised by a four hour drive until we got to our hotel. We certainly sucked it up and at the end of the day it was fine but I may have opted to stay a bit closer.

I may have also done one less day of selous. Not sure if it was our location, luck or combination of the two but we we could have done one less day there. Again, this is being super nit picky it really was amazing.

I just wanted to say that Eleanor was fantastic on helping us with this trip. From the first phone call she understood exactly what i was looking for and came up with suggestions that were just right for us. ( I had contacted one other Safari company previous who did not get where i was coming from at all! )
Also I did not feel pressurized from yourself's, so thank you for that.

It was also nice to be able to visit Eleanor and put some of our worries to rest!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
