"Another Brilliant Safari to Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 21 Sep 2016 and 4 Oct 2016
"Following a brilliant first safari last year to two camps in southern Tanzania we returned to explore northern Tanzania. We thought that this trip would not have the wow factor of a first safari but nevertheless Liz put together a fantastic itinerary and we had an amazing time yet again. The diversity of the parks and camps we visited made the trip so interesting.

We stayed at four camps all run by Asilia and all the flights and changeovers went like a dream, perfect.

At all four camps the service and attention we received was first class and the staff and guides were very friendly and courteous and committed to making our trip a memorable experience. I would certainly recommend Asilia camps.

Although it was nice to savour the facilities of the two luxury camps (Highlands and Sayari) we did prefer the character of the two more rustic camps (Oliver’s and Namiri Plains.

Many thanks to Expert Africa and Liz for another brilliant safari." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Trip of a lifetime"

I visited Tanzania between 2 Aug 2016 and 10 Aug 2016
"We were in amazing hands from the moment we stepped off the airplane in Mt Kilimanjaro. Everything was planned perfectly. Our Expert Africa consultant Maruska was the most patient, kind and helpful agent we have ever dealt with.

Our trip was literally years in planning - with many many questions, itinerary changes and emails. We were nightmare clients but Marushka was amazing. She always patiently answered our questions, gave us many options, allayed any fears/concerns and guided us in our decisions. The end result was perfect and we are so grateful to Maruska!

Keep Maruska happy!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Great Trip. Everything we wanted"

I visited Tanzania between 16 Jul 2016 and 28 Jul 2016
"The viewing was first rate and our guides were great.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I feel the feedback form does not convey how much we enjoyed the trip. But I haven't a suggestion as to how to improve it!

All the arrangements went so smoothly and everything lived up to our expectations. I don't often use AWESOME or STUNNING but the trip was awesome and Tanzania is stunning. And everyone we met was just the nicest.

Thank you Ellie." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
