"This was our first safari, and overall the trip exceeded expectations. Jessica really took the time to understand the kind of thing we were looking for and her recommendations and advice were spot on.

It was nice to bump into Chris (the boss) on our trip - once on one of the flights and again at Mdonya. He's clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all things safari.

We loved the two camps, and it was great to visit two different areas as the experience was different at each. In particular we loved the fact that both parks were relatively quiet and on the game drives we rarely saw other people.

We expected both of the camps to be quite basic in terms of facilities, but we felt really spoilt at both, the tents were lovely and the food was excellent. Probably because of this, the time in Zanzibar, which we were anticipating being a bit of luxury at the end, fell a bit short in comparison (although Jessica's first recommendation wasn't available).

Overall, I'd highly recommend Expert Africa and we hope to be able to book another trip with them one day!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Jessica Plumb is an outstanding professional who was always available to us, even with last minute changes. We have recommended her to others and we would certainly contact her again if we were ever to return to Africa.

The camps we visited both had excellent facilities and staff but Jongomero staff really stole our heart! What wonderful and authentic people!

We recognized real changes in Southern Tanzania that have occurred during the five years since we last visited. Climate change has affected the weather. We had three evenings of rain at Jongomero (one torrential) that surprised everyone since it was still the dry season. At Siwandu, the temperatures reached the high nineties.
Both changes impacted game viewing but our guides were great and went above and beyond to ensure great viewing opportunities. Another change that we noticed in the Selous was “progress” since the new dam was completed. The airstrip has been expanded and they are building yet a newer, bigger one. There is now miles of unpaved highway and lots of truck traffic. Of course, all of this has impacted wildlife. Lastly, we talked at length with many of the camp staff. They told us that cell phones and technology in general is changing life in their villages. Many young people are looking at other options rather than the traditional tribal ways."

"Jessica helped my husband and I plan our first trip to Africa in celebration of our wedding anniversary. She provided great guidance and suggested a trip itinerary to Tanzania and Zanzibar that fit our desires and budget.

We were so impressed that every detail was executed on the ground perfectly. Our transfers, meet and greets, and local flights were exactly as described in our itinerary.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us and Tanzania has forever changed our hearts and lives forever.

Thank you, Jessica!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip was excellent and each of the camps (Siwandu / Ikuka / Fanjove) were perfect for what we wanted: quiet, close to nature but high end.

Almost every aspect of our trip was exciting and wonderful. It made for a perfect honeymoon.

Jessica @ Expert Africa listened carefully to what we really wanted and made recommendations that suited our wants and needs for the trip.
She was patient in updating the trip itinerary multiple times and we felt well looked after." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"Thank you so much, Jessica! Our holiday in Ruaha was amazing.

Every step of the planning and booking process was simple and fun.

Our overnight and transport through Dar es Salaam was smooth, and Ikuka and Kitchatka Zumbua are both excellent camps that complement each other very nicely.

We would be thrilled to return to each camp some day!

We highly recommend Expert Africa. Thanks again!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
