"Africa August 2016"
I visited Tanzania and 3 other countries between 4 Aug 2016 and 26 Aug 2016
"Tanzania safari company is excellent and will use them again.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
You were kind enough to send us the Bradt guide on Northern Tanzania book to read. This was very much appreciated and not expected. But since we booked a safari for 12 days in Rwanda, it would have been nice for you to include the Bradt guide to Rwanda also. We purchased it on our own."

"Trip of a lifetime"
I visited Tanzania between 2 Aug 2016 and 10 Aug 2016
"We were in amazing hands from the moment we stepped off the airplane in Mt Kilimanjaro. Everything was planned perfectly. Our Expert Africa consultant Maruska was the most patient, kind and helpful agent we have ever dealt with.
Our trip was literally years in planning - with many many questions, itinerary changes and emails. We were nightmare clients but Marushka was amazing. She always patiently answered our questions, gave us many options, allayed any fears/concerns and guided us in our decisions. The end result was perfect and we are so grateful to Maruska!

"Rwanda and Serengeti experience"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 2 Aug 2016 and 11 Aug 2016
"Every time I think about our Gorilla trek I get goosebumps. It was simply sensational. I am so glad we decided to go on two consecutive days and were able to see two gorilla families.
Olakira camp was fantastic - a great choice for anyone interested in witnessing the amazing wildebeest migration. The service, facilities, food and guiding was nothing short of exceptional.
I could not recommend the Ngorongora crater or Manyara based on our experience. It really fell short after the Serengeti although a better guide would no doubt have contributed to a richer experience." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jul 2016 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 17 Jul 2016 and 29 Jul 2016
"My trip went smoothly and I had an amazing time. As always this was expertly organised by Ellie. All my safaris so far have been organised brilliantly by Expert Africa and I have had incredible experiences which is why I keep returning. Thanks very much.
One point to feedback is relating to my driver/guide in Rwanda. I was very disappointed with his lack of engagement and focus on his mobile phone and personal work in Kigali on my first day there. He was more of a driver than a guide and did not say much. It is particularly disappointing as this part of my trip was my bucket list trip and supposed to be special and I was very excited about it. I have provided detailed feedback to Ellie." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Great Trip. Everything we wanted"
I visited Tanzania between 16 Jul 2016 and 28 Jul 2016
"The viewing was first rate and our guides were great.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I feel the feedback form does not convey how much we enjoyed the trip. But I haven't a suggestion as to how to improve it!
All the arrangements went so smoothly and everything lived up to our expectations. I don't often use AWESOME or STUNNING but the trip was awesome and Tanzania is stunning. And everyone we met was just the nicest.
Thank you Ellie." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We were a little cold in the mornings.
Advise the morning departures for open jeeps need jackets long sleeves knitt hats that cover the ears. And hot water bottles?" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Excellent"
I visited Tanzania between 1 Jul 2016 and 15 Jul 2016
"We decided in March this year to try and go to Tanzania in July to see the migration - Expert Africa was able to make this happen at relatively short notice. The service both on the ground and by Expert Africa was efficient, professional and of a high standard
Seeing the migration and several river crossing exceeded our expectations - we had a wonderful two weeks!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Tanzania/Rwanda Safari trip - Jun/Jul 2016"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 21 Jun 2016 and 9 Jul 2016
"Outstanding trip overall, perfectly matching our expectations.
James at Expert Africa listened and probed as to what we wanted and expected from our first safari experience, and then put together several itinerary options that would meet our needs. He was able to answer all our questions, and to provide us with lots of additional information that helped us in selecting the final choices for our Safari holiday."

"Absolutely incredible experience"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 16 Jun 2016 and 13 Jul 2016
"I generally plan my trips myself without a lot of input from agents. This time I relied heavily on your company and felt I was well rewarded for doing so. I never would have visited Akagera, Katavi, Mahale, Ruaha, or the Selous on my own. I likely would have confined my itinerary in Tanzania to the Serengeti and maybe Ngorongoro Crater. I'm really lucky to have taken James' advice.
In fact, one of my guides in the Serengeti was extremely impressed with my chosen itinerary, commenting that he didn't see many tourists who went that route.
Again, I'm very grateful for your help and would highly recommend your company in the future." Read full review: 27 nights in Africa; 20 on a Tanzania safari
