We had the most wonderful time.

Tanzania and 1 other country between 11 Jun 2011 and 26 Jun 2011

Trip rating: Excellent
"We had the most wonderful time, it was a very special trip and did not disappoint.

We loved being on safari, the choice of camps was inspired and I would definitely choose similar camps next time. The Zanzibar beach lodge is a real gem, another excellent suggestion.

The only disappointment was the Zanzibar Palace Hotel which I would most definitely not recommend.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

The service was excellent and I have already recommended Expert Africa to friends. I will certainly use you again.

Many thanks for a wonderful trip!"

"We had a wonderful time here and were very well looked after.

We loved the 50s style tents, basic but charming and comfortable and the simplicity of the camp coupled with excellent and thoughtful service made for a very memorable stay."

Alex, the manager is outstanding and sensitive, thoughtful, warm and friendly, we were very, very well looked after and as in Lake Manze camp loved the 50s feel of the camp, the simplicity of the facilities and thoughtful service made for an excellent safari experience, with all the comforts of being a colonial."

Zanzibar Palace Hotel

Zanzibar Palace Hotel

"Zanzibar Palace Hotel review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jun 2011
"This is not a great hotel.

The rooms are dark, have horrible scratchy fabric on the beds, no chairs to sit on and the bathroom was not very clean, the bath was rank. All very dull and below par.

Very disappointing after our wonderful experiences on safari and in Zamzibar."
