"Another Brilliant Safari to Tanzania"
We stayed at four camps all run by Asilia and all the flights and changeovers went like a dream, perfect.
At all four camps the service and attention we received was first class and the staff and guides were very friendly and courteous and committed to making our trip a memorable experience. I would certainly recommend Asilia camps.
Although it was nice to savour the facilities of the two luxury camps (Highlands and Sayari) we did prefer the character of the two more rustic camps (Oliver’s and Namiri Plains.
Many thanks to Expert Africa and Liz for another brilliant safari." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"My Aug 2016 trip"
"Trip of a lifetime"
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!

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

"Northern Circuit 2016"
We had an unforgettable trip and would definitely recommend Expert Africa to friends. Also a big thank you to the various people who helped to reunite me with the things I left at Oliver's Camp - everybody went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful."

"Tanzania safari during the 'short rains'"
The safari section of our trip was quite tiring, with early morning game drives and moving camp every couple of days, although this is exactly what we had expected, so were prepared. This was the first time that we had visited Africa during a rainy season, so expected a different experience to our previous trips. It was lovely to save the best safari camp to last and then to relax in Zanzibar for a 3 nights - even though the heat and humidity hit us hard.
It was very helpful to have the experience and suggestions from Expert Africa to help us plan the trip as their knowledge of the individual camps and hotels is extensive.

This was our seventh trip to Africa booked through Expert Africa, which precisely sums up our view of their expertise.
Looking forward to number eight!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
