"Safaris camps and safaris fantastic"
We loved every bit of our time in the bush - wish it could have been a lot longer - we didn't really need a night in Dar at the end however.
We'll be back !

"A wonderful safari experience in Tanzania"
The lodges were just as described in your brochure and we were extremely lucky with the game that we saw.
We wanted to see Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs and saw all of these and more.
Thank you very much to Ellie for her help and advice and patience with us changing our minds on a number of occasions before finalising the holiday.

"Tanzania trip 2009"
The reserve is beautiful and relatively quiet - with plenty of animals and birds to see. Impala camp is well run, friendly and has an appropriate level of comfort and facilities for a bush holiday.
Thanks Claire for once again, understanding our needs and helping us plan the trip.
We will be back!

"Wonderful 15 days safariing"
Unfortunately, we did see some pouching activity at Mikumi (was reported to the camp manager and Park Rangers) and we sincerely hope that was just for bush meat.
Thank you for another wonderful holiday." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari
"We can hardly wait to go back"
It helps to use the expert services of the staff at Expert AFrica who know their business inside and out. We will definitely be back to Africa and will be using Expert Africa again.

"We would have stayed longer"
"whole trip feedback"
Very well organised trip and good advice about where to stay and length of time etc.
Would like to note that our transfer from zanzibar airport to shooting star never arrived, so we waited a while, and then had to take a taxi to the eco and culture tours office in stonetown, they check and stated they has us down to be picked up a month later, and didnt really appear very apologetic. We also then had to continue in the taxi ( with no air conditioning) - wasnt sure why they could not have taken us from there. Howevere they did turn up promptly for our other transfers. This was the only thing that went wromg, and meant we arrived at the back about 2 hours after we would have got there." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Lake Manze and Zanzibar honeymoon"
We enjoyed our holiday and everything ran very smoothly. The connections were excellent.
We chose Expert Africa because Eleanor was so positive and helpful and gave us a really good idea of what our holiday would be like.
Suggestions for improvement:
Remember to mention whether departure taxes are included.
We weren't sure and so held on to USD$30 each in case but discoved these were already included.
Another idea would be to ask the local agents to be more proactive in selling excursions or trips. Not to force these on people, but if there had been a "price list" we would have been interested but instead we were put off by the driver trying to get us a good deal."
