"Amazing Safari in Tanzania!"
Our trip was also made spectacular by our fearless guide Nathoo Rafiq- we were so lucky to be paired with him. He's a gem - so knowledgable, kind, smart, patient...
Our only regret is that we couldn't have stayed longer- next time!

Liz really knew Tanzania like the back of her hand - she gave us honest information and advice as we were planning the trip. She was extremely informative and thorough, and we had total confidence in her planning and suggestions.
We usually plan trips ourselves, so having someone else deal with the nitty gritty was actually tough for us, since we actually enjoy doing that part. Liz put up with all of our questions and ideas and research, but did the heavy lifting. The trip went off without a hitch, which is a huge compliment since there truly were a lot of moving parts.
We could not be more thankful to her!!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"Superb in Every Way"
There were no "glitches" whatsoever. The recommended lodges and camps were wonderful, the timing and execution of every aspect was great. We were completely satisfied with the recommendations and service given to us by Expert Africa.
You cannot plan a trip to Africa being assured of seeing all of the wildlife you would like to see - you are at the mercy of nature! We were very lucky. We saw more animals than we ever dreamed of.
We have been to some amazing places around the world, but we will remember our trip to Tanzania as being one of our best experiences ever!

"Our retirement trip"
How do they manage to have tonic, gin, lime, glasses, ice, and potato chips in Katavi? It must be a logistical nightmare--but there was my gin and tonic, always perfectly served. Dazzling!
We felt safe, treated so well by enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring staff throughout..... And then there were the animals. We never saw a rhine, because they have been poached to virtual extinction in East Africa, but we saw most everything else, and up close and personal. Having a leopard on your tent porch is not something I will soon forget.
A word of caution: Mother Nature can be entirely unsentimental. We watched two lionesses kill a baby giraffe as the helpless adult giraffes watched. This was not easy...... but it is what happens out there. This is not Disneyland." Read full review: 31 nights in Africa; 25 on a Tanzania safari
"An excellent memoriable trip"
Gorilla trekking permit was expensive and originally, we thought of doing it for one day. Eleanor recommended us to do 2 treks and it was a very good advice as both experience were different. The local operators, camps and hôtels that was recommended are of very high standard.
We could not wish for more." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

Not really, it all worked very well. Fishermans Tours were very helpful also" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
"A fantastic holiday - many thanks"
In general we preferred the Asilia camps to those of Nomad because they had Tanzanian managers rather than expats - this gave a more comfortable atmosphere." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"African Safari and Beach Trip 2015"
Every Lodge exceeded our expectations and I must commend all the staff at each House and Lodge for their professionalism and attention to detail.
We loved getting to know each and every person.

I think that all the accommodations were down played a little when I booked the trip.
