My August Trip

Tanzania and 1 other country between 19 Aug 2017 and 28 Aug 2017

Trip rating: Good
"Would have liked to know my options when travelling to Zanzibar as I was unaware that Stone Town was the only big town in Zanzibar! Perhaps I should have done more research myself, but having only one choice of hotel in Zanzibar seems somewhat limiting!

Lake Manze was a delight and the highlight of our trip.

Thanks again."

Feedback response

We try hard to explain the range of options to our travellers, whatever the trip; we're sorry if we fell short here. We tried hard to find a good beach option for these travellers, within their budget constraints and what was available at the time. However, clearly we hadn’t understood the importance of ‘visiting a town’ for their trip.

It’s a good point: most of Zanzibar's best beach locations are a distance from Stone Town, and this is something that we’ll flag up more clearly to enquirers in the future.

Pongwe Beach Hotel

"Pongwe Beach Hotel"

5 nights Arrived 23 Aug 2017
"Although this hotel was in a beautiful location and was extremely lovely, it was an hour away from Stone Town. I would have ideally liked Expert Africa to inform me of my choices and talk me through the merits of staying near/away from Stone Town to avoid the expensive cab journey to the main town!

The place itself was lovely and the staff were extremely attentive. However, we rarely received our food at the same time and meas were often cold!"
