Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"This was our first safari and we wanted to use an experienced company to arrange things for us. After a lot of research we chose Expert Africa and were glad that we did. Jessica listened to everything we asked for and planned the perfect trip. When we did have a small issue with a hotel transfer in Zanzibar, she quickly fixed it for us and kept us informed throughout.

All the accommodation and staff at Asilia Africa were exceptional, we could not have asked for anything better. The guides were all extremely knowledgeable and really cared that we had the best safari experience possible. The rooms were beautiful and so luxurious. The food was delicious and plentiful (perhaps bordering on too plentiful!).

Our time at Kilindi was very relaxing and just what we needed after a busy 10 days on safari." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"This was truly amazing and a holiday of a lifetime.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, but thank you for answering all of my questions. Your advice was sensible and enormously helpful as we hadn’t been on Safari before." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"What an amazing experience. We had a great variety of locations and camps thanks to lyndsey, who took my suggestions and fashioned a great itinerary for us. Our local support was excellent and all worked like clockwork. No glitches, just an unforgettable experience." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Every camp that we visited held Expert Africa in high regard which made us proud to be clients.

All went well but it would have been helpful to have the "hard copies" of Precision Air as there were glitches on their end. They had no record of us going on after Lusaka (right city??). We made it. And... All's well that ends well but we were put-on the wrong plane from the Serengeti to Kilimanjaro and they sent us to Arusha (along with another couple).

Precision Air then put us on another flight to Kilimanjaro but we missed most of our time at the lodge in Kilimanjaro before going on to Nairobi. We both decided that we would have skipped the Nairobi jaunt and gone from another city. Just FYI" Read full review: 26 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zambia safari

"Brilliant. Superbly organised by Tam our Expert Africa organiser. Tam was great, very helpful from start to finish.

All our ground arrangements were very good, especially being met by a very efficient lady from Swiss port at the airport on arrival and being transferred to our accommodations.

Loved our trip, and want to go back again asap. Asilia guides and camps excellent.

Not that keen on Ngorongoro farmhouse but ok for a stop over.

Thank you Tam for all your hard work in organising our trip so that everything went without a hitch." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Our trip was an extraordinary adventure of a lifetime.

Expert Africa did a great job arranging our trip. We're so happy we went to the Serengeti during the great migration.

The trip left a indelible mark in our hearts and we can't wait to go on another safari.
If we had to choose our favorite experience it would be our stay at Olakira and our guide Daniel.

After seeing the gorillas in Rwanda & the great migration in the Serengeti going to Ngorongoro Crater and Lake Manyara was underwhelming. Although we didn't know and we might have felt we missed out on something. Overall, we can't say enough great things about our trip." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"We had the most fantastic time & for what we were trying to achieve seeing the Migration & Big Cats the two camps were spot on.

Just pity we missed our return flight which is not your fault but such a dampener after such an amazing time." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Lyndsey helped us to put together a great itinerary and the wildlife of Tanzania and people in the Nomad camps delivered a holiday that exceeded our expectations.

The three elements (Tarangire, Ngorongoro and north Serengeti) worked well in terms of travel between national parks, variety of landscapes and mix of wildlife.

The three Nomad camps were of a high standard and the leadership of the camp managers and dedication of staff was apparent at them all. Whilst similar in some ways they each had their unique identity. The only slight disappointment was that meals were taken at individual tables. In previous safaris we have enjoyed chatting to other guests at communal tables or round the boma.

We cannot fault the organisation by Expert Africa and Nomad to ensure all elements of the trip went to plan." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Another lifelong ambition was to seeing the great migration. Over all lots of wonderful memories of all the animals on our safari.
Thankyou Lyndsey for organising this wonderful safari." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Thank you to Tam for arranging our booking!

We had the most amazing time and would not hesitate to use Expert Africa for our planning again. The (many) flight and taxi transfers all worked perfectly. It is great peace of mind having the transfers arranged by a professional team who know the respectable companies to use and means of booking...especially after meeting people who had booked their own flights from Zan - Dar es Salam but at the desk, they were told their tickets were not recognised and they had to charter their own flight to make their International flight!

It was our first safari and we had no idea what to expect in the quieter south Selous park but we saw more wildlife than we ever imagined (even on the day we arrived) and so few cars. It was perfect! The camp and every member of the Selous Impala team were just amazing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
