"21 Days in Tanzania and Victoria Falls"
Expert Africa provided excellent seemless and timely pickup and drop-off services from the moment we landed in Africa. With this service, my daughter and I felt very safe; and it also made the trip that much more fun. Eleanor Dunkels did a great job from the time of preparation, advising us what to bring with us and where to go, catering to our requirements.

"Perfect trip"
Only possible comment is .. dont expect large herds of anything and the animals are rather difficult to spot .... but we never saw another vehicle .. so that was great.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It is really difficult to come up with anything substantial.
Information on the camps is comprehensive but maybe a little more about the types of animals which can be encountered and the environment and terrain as well as camp facilities,but this is a small point." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

I believe we picked the right game parks - plenty of game but fewer people, which, again, was what we wanted.
Thanks to Expert Africa for helping to make it happen!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't think of anything. We were pleased with the service and information provided.
I've mentioned it before, and I wouldn't want to give the impression that these detracted signicantly from our enjoyment but tetses in Mdonya and the non-availability of walking safaris in Mdonya were slight "hiccups".
Thanks to Liz for all your help." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Trip to Tanzania/Zanzibar"

We would love to see Madagascar added to your portfolio!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Ruaha & Selous"
The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.

Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
