"Tanzania"
Matemwe bungalows were a little disappointing - not as smart as it looked! The location wasn't great as it has a beach with a reef and for most of the day you cannot swim - it would have been nice to have had a beach in the resort so you could walk in for a swim - this is probably the same for all of the resorts on the east coast. Maybe this is common knowledge but not to us.

"A truly unforgettable start to married life!"
Planning our trip was a joy. We felt as though we were given all the information we could of needed. We were never pushed towards any particular lodge or hotel and were given the time to make our own decisions without being bombarded with emails or phone calls.
Our trip was extremely organised. We were never left waiting or confused. The ground agents were again brilliant. Eco & Culture are a great company. Our tranfers were always on time and their staff were all very knowledgeable. We also booked a couple of trips directly with them which were again very well organised.
We felt every lodge or hotel we stayed at were perfect for us." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

Our itinerary was in exactly the right order, starting with the most 'authentic' camp and working up in quality to finish with Beho Beho. We would really have struggled if we'd gone there first and then moved on to the other camps.
This is our 4th or 5th holiday with Expert Africa and we will keep coming back because of the quality of service and knowledge of the locations.
Thank you all." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"overall comments including Fishermans Tours"
We had very good game viewing, with excellent guides, in both Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park. The landscapes and vegetation were quite different leading to varied experiences - in Selous it was great to see the crocs, hippos and huge variety of birds round the lake as well as the animals in the bush, whilst in Ruaha we saw larger herds of buffalo and elephants seeking water.
All in all we had a great holiday." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday
