"general holiday feedback"
I visited Tanzania between 10 Feb 2011 and 22 Feb 2011
"We could not have wished for better! There was absolutely nothing about the chosen camp site and resort that we could fault, Beho Beho is a place made in heaven we cannot speak more highly of their hospitality, service and comfort, I almost had to stop thinking for myself as they pre guessed everything we required arranged all our activities perfectly and attended to our every need without fail. They demonstrated high standards of hospitality at every level from manager, rangers to waiting and room staff.
Ras Kutani provided the perfect environment for rest and relaxation after safari. would highly recommend both resorts
We had a delay of 1 hour at Dar airport on the transfer to Ras Kutani, we had to sit in a minibus for the duration which had to be incurred in order that transfer details could be given to other holiday makers coming in on another flight after ours, it was unnecessary and just marred the holiday slightly."

"Beho Beho & Ras Kutani - the best"
I visited Tanzania between 10 Feb 2011 and 22 Feb 2011
"The two lodges we stayed in were just what we wanted from a Safari & beach holiday.
Beho was far beyond our expectations - remote location - great game viewing & lovely rooms, comfort & hospitality - true perfection.
Ras K was ideal for relaxing at the beach - laid-back, rustic but 5 star comfort." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"I really can not thank Ellie too much for the service she provided at Expertb Africa.
She assessed with great patience the sort of pople wevwere and our interests and past experience of Africa and then quitely recommended where we should go. She was spot on with these suggestions and provided us , as aresult, with a truly memorable trip. Not a fault or confusion anywjhere. We wre always met promptly at every arrival by efficient handlers.
Expert Africa is clearly well regarded at the Camps and not surpisingly. many thanks.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
You have my individual assessments. For me it was all faultless but then somewhere basic like Kwihala fits my personal bill perfectly but might not others, perhaps particularly the ladies, who might prefer more luxuries. However, Ellie pointed this out to me and already knew neither Jill nor I wanted the 'Hilton Bubble' experience. However, youneed to make sure that your clients do fit the style of the camp....but recommend it nevertheless as something thoroughly worth the extra effort!!"

"A really memorable holiday"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 29 Jan 2011 and 8 Feb 2011
"Fantastic!
Selous and Ruaha gave us the variety of countryside and wildlife we wanted, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tented camps. A few relaxing days at Unguja made the perfect end to our trip. We loved Tanzania and the people we met.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Your service was excellent, especially in one way that you do not ask about: we were not sure which country we wanted to visit, and our ideas were quite vague to start with. Your team were very skilled at questioning me, proposing ideas and narrowing the choices down gradually. This plus the layout of your website helped us make the right choice.
I am happy for you to contact us by email but I would rather not receive regular brochures; they often get thrown away, so are such a waste of paper." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"One of our best holidays"
I visited Tanzania between 22 Jan 2011 and 1 Feb 2011
"We love Africa and this holiday exceeded expectations.
We saw a lot of wildlife, lions every day, and without exception everyone we met was welcoming and eager to give us a good time. We thought we saw more wildlife at Selous Safari but at Beho Beho there were lots of new experiences for us. What was good was that we saw very few other vehicles when on our game drives, it was not like the Serengeti or Ngorongoro where there are often 20 vehicles around one lion!

We have now used Expert Africa 3 times - Namibia, Botswana and now Tanzania - and can't fault you for your efficiency and helpfulness. Am now looking at your new brochure for ideas for our next triop to Africa!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"A First Tanzania Safari"
I visited Tanzania between 8 Jan 2011 and 21 Jan 2011
"I suspect our main problem is having been spoiled by too many Botswana holidays. Tanzania was quite beautiful; 2 of the camps were pretty well spot on as advertised but choosing Manze was our mistake and made against Liz's advice. Overall, the bird and game sightings were excellent, bearing in mind it should have been wet with lush vegetation. In effect the Selous and Ruaha were having a mini dry season and we benefitted greatly from it, albeit with some pretty savage humidity at times.
We were privileged in having Kwihala and Beho Beho totally to ourselves and were looked after royally in both camps. Both delivered top notch guiding and everything that there was to see, we saw. We were a little disappointed in the park rules for Ruaha and the impact that nearby shooting in Selous and poaching in both reserves is having on game and bird behaviour. Unusually I collected a small portfolio of photos of damaged animals. Coastal is a bit chaotic and BA really needs to review the standard and scheduling of catering on the return flight from Dar.
On balance we had yet another great holiday thanks to Liz and Expert Africa.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
In respect of this holiday, the information on Kwihala will need a major update after the move and improvements this spring and I suggest potential clients should be told of the off road and driving in the dark restrictions that are imposed in Ruaha.
Coastal's 'flexible' scheduling may also need to be considered for clients with tight schedules." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall Feedback"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 20 Dec 2010 and 4 Jan 2011
"We both had a wonderful honeymoon - it surpassed expectations and every place we stayed was different but equally fantastic. It was an expensive trip but I felt it was worth every penny.
Liz in particular was amazing - right from advising and helping us put together an itinerary, to sorting our flights out in the Heathrow chaos and helping us when needed during our trip. Liz's achievement in swapping us from BA to Kenya Airways on 20 December (at virtually no extra cost), without any exaggeration, saved the whole trip.
I would whole-heartedly recommend Expert Africa to friends and family, and I'll be in touch when we visit Africa again!
Thanks again for all your hard work,
Neil and Jo
