Great African adventure with Expert Africa.

Tanzania between 23 Jan 2012 and 11 Feb 2012

Trip rating: Excellent
"With hindsight would have cut out Impala & added extra time to Manze & especially Kwihala.
Really pleased we finished up at Pole Pole as it was very good & relaxing.

But really no regretts, we had a fabulous time - many thanks.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Paypal please for Noth American travellers.

Paying for alcohol & juice is annoying/inconvenient - when you are getting up early & going `till late, is anyone really going to abuse the bar? So, offer the option to prepay/include drinks.

Re: Impala, we met another group there who were at Manze & their thoughts were similar."

Lake Manze Adventure Camp

Lake Manze Adventure Camp

"Great atmosphere & experience at Lake Manze"

2 nights Arrived 24 Jan 2012
"Really enjoyed our Lake Manze time, a great way to start our trip. Good, friendly guiding, great management(Sarah) & food. Liked the communal atmosphere, very relaxed & friendly - our kind of place.

Think the Safari boats would benefit with 4 stroke outboards - quieter & cleaner. By the way our boat guide, think it was Mbao, he was very good.

The guys went out of their way on the transfer to Impala to give us a great drive Safari.
Also would like the option of prepaying for drinks."

Impala Camp

Impala Camp

"More show than substance."

3 nights Arrived 26 Jan 2012
"Very well appointed camp, tents & facilities. Guiding & service also good. Staff service at times seemed forced rather that genuine.
Food bland, but presented & served with much panache. Overall the place a little `stuffy` for our taste.
Better game viewing from Lake Manze.

Like Lake Manze Camp, boats would benefit from 4 stroke motors & prepaid drink option would be good.
Enjoyed Andrea`s knowledge & fireside chats on the constellations.
The `bush breakfast` was a nice option."

Was nice here to have everything included.
