"Everything we had hoped for and more"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2009 and 18 Oct 2009
"Best safari we have ever had.

Suggestions for mprovements:

You probably need to put more emphasis on the point you made about ensuring that US Dollars are post 2001. I ordered mine from my bank via the internet, and although I specified that they nwere needed for Tanzania i was give two $50 Dollar bills which were not accepted. I am taking up the matter with my bank's foreign exchange department. They should know better." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"whole trip feedback"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 29 Sep 2009 and 13 Oct 2009
"We had a fantastic honeymoon.

Very well organised trip and good advice about where to stay and length of time etc.

Would like to note that our transfer from zanzibar airport to shooting star never arrived, so we waited a while, and then had to take a taxi to the eco and culture tours office in stonetown, they check and stated they has us down to be picked up a month later, and didnt really appear very apologetic. We also then had to continue in the taxi ( with no air conditioning) - wasnt sure why they could not have taken us from there. Howevere they did turn up promptly for our other transfers. This was the only thing that went wromg, and meant we arrived at the back about 2 hours after we would have got there." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Tanazian Adventure"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 26 Sep 2009 and 8 Oct 2009
"Overall we were very satisfied with our holiday. On hind sight, there are only 2 things that would have have heightened our satisfaction. One was the order of the trip: we would have preferred to have stopped in Zanzibar first not last (see comments on this section of the feedback form).

The rest of the trip schedule was perfect - Arusha, Mahale & then Selous.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Lake Manze and Zanzibar honeymoon"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 21 Sep 2009 and 4 Oct 2009
"Lake Manze and the safari was excellent and we would definitely do something similar again. Zanzibar was good but perhaps for a beach holiday lacked the feel of the Maldives or Seychelles.

We enjoyed our holiday and everything ran very smoothly. The connections were excellent.

We chose Expert Africa because Eleanor was so positive and helpful and gave us a really good idea of what our holiday would be like.

Suggestions for improvement:

Remember to mention whether departure taxes are included.
We weren't sure and so held on to USD$30 each in case but discoved these were already included.

Another idea would be to ask the local agents to be more proactive in selling excursions or trips. Not to force these on people, but if there had been a "price list" we would have been interested but instead we were put off by the driver trying to get us a good deal."
