"My Oct 2013 trip"

I visited Kenya between 14 Oct 2013 and 25 Oct 2013
"Could have chosen a better airline. Pinewood to Satao far too long by road.
Food was mainly from good to excellent as was accommodation.
Would not choose again or recommend this particular itinerary." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2013 trip"

I visited Kenya between 14 Oct 2013 and 21 Oct 2013
"Good. Loved Offbeta Meru. Liked Offbetat Mara but it had issues Giraffe Manor was great but I think it's expansion has made it less of an experience.

Still good though." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"My Oct 2013 trip"

I visited Kenya between 11 Oct 2013 and 20 Oct 2013
"I am pleased we took Richard's advice to spend our first day at the Emakoko Lodge in Nairobi National Park, it gave us time to 'catch our breath' and relax before heading out into the bush.

The two Offbeat camps were just the safari experience I wanted for the family and we had some brilliant sightings.

This was a special family trip which lived up to all expectations with some wonderful memories." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 4 on a Kenya safari

"Fantastic holiday"

I visited Mozambique and 1 other country between 29 Sep 2013 and 12 Oct 2013
"We had an amazing trip and everything went smoothly, including airport transfers etc. The car journey to and from Nuarro was longer than we thought and the layover in Nairobi was unbearable, but clearly unavoidable!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Mozambique holiday

"My Aug 2013 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 25 Aug 2013 and 5 Sep 2013
"We had an excellent trip and felt we were particularly lucky with sightings at the first three camps/lodges due to the expertise of our Asilia driver, Stanford. We were particularly pleased that once an animal had been spotted we were able to observe at leisure and have wonderful memories of a very restive leopard in a tree. We watched for about half an hour as he tried to find a comfy spot and walked up and down and all around the tree. Having our own vehicle really made a difference.

As I had made our booking some months before the trip I had forgotten that this would not be the case at Lamai. I think that it would be a good idea to make a note of this on the confirmation invoice or in the final letter you send just before departure. We had taken this paperwork with us but had not printed out all the emails leading to the final trip details. The couple we shared with were extremely pleasant but they had just flown in from the UK and were on safari for only 3 nights before going to Zanzibar whilst we had gone to the north more for the wildebeest. Things worked out well but this could so easily not have been the case and I will certainly bear this in mind for a future trip.

We had an excellent guide, Kakae, at Lamai, not only was he very good indeed at spotting game but he had a detailed knowledge of all the animals we saw. He had a great sense of humour and we enjoyed conversations with him on a number of topics." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Beautiful experience"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 20 Jul 2013 and 3 Aug 2013
"We greatly enjoyed our holidays...Mara Camp was superb and our stay at Royal Livingstone was also excellent. Maybe Rovos Rail was not the best choice for a trip with our sons." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 5 on a Kenya safari

"My Jul 2013 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 10 Jul 2013 and 24 Jul 2013
"A trip of a life time and it certainly measured up the everything we had hoped and more. Firstly please pass on our huge thanks to both guides. Martin of Asilia was amazing and so professional .We'll for ever be grateful for his patience for our bird watching interests and his expert knowledge. He was so good at finding the quieter places and picking up the signs before others got there!! Please note our grateful thanks to him personally through Asilia.

Also we would like special recommendation for Paulo Siololo of Nomad Tanzania...Arusha. as he was fantastic too. Think he has telescopes for eyes as he picked signs of animals at tremendous distances and had the patience to pursue and wait. We had numerous wonderful experiences just watching cheetahs and Leopards all on our own as well as so much more. He really put himself out to please us and make our experience memorable.

Fishermans tours on Zanzibar not quite so efficient as 3/4 hour late one trip and didn't turn up on last return drive to airport. Neither actually caused us problems as door man at Serens Inn got us a taxi and arranged for paymenbt between driver and F. tours.but thought you may like to know for future.

Well done Expert Africa and especially Ellie ,you judge it perfectly for us....right locations and timings ." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"A memorable holiday in the best sense"

I visited Kenya between 7 Jul 2013 and 22 Jul 2013
"This was a really well organised holiday where everything went like clockwork from our first contact with Expert Africa to getting off the plane at the end of the trip.

The Meru and Pinewood resorts were faultless and the quibbles with Mara could easily be fixed.

I would highly recommend both Expert Africa and the itinerary that we followed, it really was a special experience for all 4 of us.
