"An Experience to Remember"
"My Oct 2016 Zanzibar trip"
The excursions seemed expensive, but I did enjoy them. I had a very good guide from Fisherman's Tours who took me on a tour of Stone Town and a boat trip to Prison Island.
I didn't do as much snorkelling as I would have liked as it was not feasible to snorkel at low tide. At high tide it would have meant swimming out quite a way to get to the reef. I did try near the shoreline, but could only see sea urchins and seaweed and the wind was churning up the sand making visibility poor." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Fall, 2016"
"My Oct 2016 trip"
Both the hotels were excellent and very good value for money. The staff were very friendly and helpful and both Russell and Heidi need to be commended on the staff and the service provided.
The guide who was booked for me by Expert Travel to do the walking tour of stone Town was very good, knowledgable and gave a good insight into Zanziabr and it's history.
The taxi driver was the same one who picked up form the airport, drove me to Emerson Spice and to Pongwe Beach and to the airport again. It was lovely it was the same gentleman who was very friendly and keen to show me the island and culture.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I found Expert Africa to be excellent at what they do. I was provided with all the information I could want and nothing was too much trouble.
My questions were answered in a timely manner and I liked and found the guide book and folder that was provided for holding tickets etc to be very useful.
I would definitely use Expert Africa again and would recommend you as a tour company to other people.
I am thinking of going to Namibia next year and will definitely be in contact with you if I decide to go." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zanzibar holiday
"A wonderful safari and an excellent holiday"
Everything went like clockwork, it was very relaxing but also an intense safari experience.
Our final week on the Zanzibar beach at Pongwe Beach Hotel was the ultimate in exotic pampered chilling out - very informal and laid back with just the right mix of excellent service, great food, and wow location.

As everything worked so well, and the advice we were given was so good, I can't think of anything to improve it - just keep it up!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Our Zanzibar Trip - September 2016"
"Tanzania trip September 2016"
In addition the choice of camps suited us much better than, for example, the Serengeti. We wanted quiet and remote and that is exactly what we got, combined with plenty of wildlife action. A nice bonus is that both camps were better than we had expected, from facilities to food to service.

"Zanzibar Sept 10-14"
"Great time in Tanzania"
Stone Town provided a completely different 'town' experience, while Chumbe was the perfect place for relaxation. Staff everywhere we stayed were first-class.
All our connections worked perfectly. Many thanks to Liz for organising everything so competently." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
