"My Feb 2024 trip"
I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of my trip and, to put the wildlife sightings into context, my visit was at the end of the season so the recent rains created very thick vegetation which made big cat sightings unlikely.
The sightings of Wild dogs (now Painted Wolves) are always special and I had fantastic bird sightings from both camps.
As always Expert Africa have excelled in organising a fantastic trip, tailored to my requirements and providing complete satisfaction. I am always happy to recommend Expert Africa and I hope they will continue making my safari arrangements for many years to come.
Full marks too, for Sean and Millie at Lake Manze and Malcolm at Mdonya and their respective teams for providing me with such enjoyable stays at their wonderful camps and such great company." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"My Feb 2024 trip"
Tanzania is a beautiful country with a lot of culture, wildlife, and birds.
The strict rules about walking away from camp are quite different, but it is because of the dangerous animals." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"My Nov 2023 trip"
What we like with Expert Africa besides their vast knowledge is that they listen to their customers, spent the time to discuss our trip as long as we want and subsequently are suggesting what best suits us. Also appreciate very much that Expert Africa has been looking to find the best deal for us with the best value for money within our budget.
Asilia Africa was again top notch and such a great outfit making everything memorable. Jabali was incredible and unforgettable so was Roho ya Selous, different styles working so well together in a holiday.
Highlight for us were the wild dogs that we failed to see so many times on our previous holidays and the whale sharks & flying foxes in Mafia.
We loved Ruaha and Nyerere as less crowded, feeling even private, both parks a nice contrast though realize probably not for everyone as animals are not on display like in the Mara or Serengeti." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari
"My Nov 2023 trip"
It was exactly what I was looking for.
The staff and guides had obviously been primed to know what I was interested in and were superb throughout.

I would like to add that Claire saved me from a minor catastrophe when she spotted that I had booked my own flights home for the wrong day, which meant that she could make additional arrangements." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"My Nov 2023 trip"
Just want to add that we love Maruska. We've already had 8 relatives & friends use her expertise...and more to come.
Maruska is a joy to engage with and this trip was extra helpful when crazy weather threw a curve ball!
We can't wait to get in touch about our next safari with her guidance.
Thanks!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari
"My Nov 2023 Tanzanian trip"
The two camps, suggested by Lyndsey, worked very well for us and we had a wonderful time.
Because of our flight times we had an overnight, and an an afternoon and evening to spend in Dar.
The Serena Hotel is good - but the trips back and forth to the airport were not enjoyable.
A reasonable hotel nearer to the airport would be very welcomer" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"My Oct 2023 trip"
Seeing Wild Dog in two separate parks was amazing.
The camps were all high quality and wildlife viewing overall was excellent.
Great to cap it off swimming with Whale Sharks." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
"My Oct 2023 trip"
The new international airport terminal at Dar is great, but it is fun to use the Coastal one for the internal flights.
