"A dream experience"
"My Dec 2012 trip"
Although Mwagusi lost one paw in the marking for the temperature of the food it was definitely our favourite of the two camps - to the extent that Jane cried on having to leave!
Trip 13 is booked and 14 in the planning stages!

"Fantastic holiday"
I do recommend trying to stay both at Jongomero and at one of the camps in the north is you can: the landscapes (and weather patterns) are different, and it's a wonderful way to get a good sense for the sheer vastness of this wonderful place. Highly recommended." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Our Oct 27 Nov 4 trip"
"My Oct 2012 trip"
Before arriving I particularly hoped to see wild dogs and leopard I saw these and, in addition, a large variety of other creatures including bat eared foxes, bush pigs, hyenas, jackals, various mongeese etc. plus a large variety of birds, I can't think that of anything significant that was missed and this was due to the abilities of the guides and drivers.
One of the most enjoyable holidays that I have had. I did not find a single member of camp staff who was not both knowledgeable and helpful (sometimes limited a little by a slight language barrier).
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I have no particular comment to make regarding improvements to the the trip or service but see my comments with regard to the fly-camp.
Having only decided to make the trip at very late notice I was very impressed by the the holiday produced by Liz in the limited time available.
I would recommend the Expert Africa to others.
