"Fabulous holiday"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2015 and 2 Oct 2015
"We had a really great and relaxing holiday.
All the hotels and actives were well chosen for us. All our transfers worked very well.
Needed some advice from James about how much cash to take-and got it just right-thank you.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
May be worth adding in the information booklet that only need to pay departure tax for international flights from Zanzibar - but not from Dar
Can't think of anything else" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"An amazing and unforgettable experience"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 27 Jul 2015 and 9 Aug 2015
"The entire experience from start to finish was best in class. We truly had a once in life time experience and we are so happy we chose to work with Expert Africa.
I would strongly urge anyone thinking of going to Africa to work with you guys. The reviews we had read to help us decide and plan were all accurate which is alway a bonus as well.
If I had to do it all over again, there are minor ( and I mean minor) things I would have changed. The first day was an extremely long day of travel. After 21hrs of traveling we were a bit surprised by a four hour drive until we got to our hotel. We certainly sucked it up and at the end of the day it was fine but I may have opted to stay a bit closer.
I may have also done one less day of selous. Not sure if it was our location, luck or combination of the two but we we could have done one less day there. Again, this is being super nit picky it really was amazing.

My only suggestions is a bit more detail around the flights and the distances of the transfers." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"My 2015 trip"
I visited Zanzibar between 3 Jul 2015 and 11 Jul 2015
"A really good trip.
Very glad we spent more time at the beach than Stone Town though. Great to have visited Zanzibar and i would certainly recommend the island - but some travellers might find the poverty in Stone Town a little surprising at first.
Would certainly return - though would want to visit Pemba and get to some of the more remote beaches." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Our Honeymoon Experience - Dec 2014"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 1 Dec 2014 and 13 Dec 2014
"It was wonderful! Every bit as fabulous as we had hoped and exactly what you would want your honeymoon to be.
The whole trip, considering we stayed in three different locations, across two different countries was brilliant. No delays or disruption to our travelling, lovely hotels and resorts and a lovely, warm welcome from Tanzania and Zanzibar.
Would definitely recommend to others!

Not really - may be a follow up call before receiving this form would have been nice but other than that, all good!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
