A lovely trip to Tanzania
Tanzania and 1 other country between 29 Jun 2019 and 12 Jul 2019
"It was a lovely trip - the highlight was Ikuka which is a simply wonderful place which we cannot recommend enough - Zanzibar was lovely and Breezes was a very good hotel even if the kite surfing was a little disappointing.
The arrangements by Claire at Expert Africa were excellently done and the itinerary was great ( we would never have know of Ruaha without that knowledge). My sister and brother in law have already booked a Namibia trip with you based on our recommendation."

4 nights
Arrived
1 Jul 2019
"Ikuka is a wonderful place - the camp is beautiful - the rooms very large, luxurious and secluded - the staff brilliant - food great
The wildlife is very good (lions, leopards, hippos, many elephants etc - no hippo in Ruaha) - not as many animals as the serengeti but much quieter"

Breezes Beach Club
"A good beach resort in a beautiful location"
6 nights
Arrived
5 Jul 2019
"Breezes is a very nice resort hotel. It has a good beach, very nice grounds and pool. The food was good - generally some sort of themed buffet in the evening. The staff were very helpful and friendly.
We did not venture to Stonetown - as it was about an hour away so we were mostly at the hotel.
We did some kite surfing - this is less good than down the coast at Paje as the tides often meant that we had water in the morning but no wind then wind in the afternoon but no water. If someone is really focused on learning to kite surf they would be better to do a course at Paje rather than Breezes - you could stay at Breezes ( we took a taxi down one afternoon - not far (15 minutes) but quite expensive)"
