"My Aug 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 5 Aug 2015 and 17 Aug 2015
"Our trip was absolutely incredible.

Liz worked with us and gave sound advice to create a trip that was beyond our expectations. Since I was a little girl I had dreamt about going on a safari in Africa and this was everything I could hope for and more. Our trip was completely personalized and we saw a lion chase a herd of wildebeest and kill one and then drag it almost a mile back to the pride. It was just us and our driver and guide. It was the law of nature.

Our guides and drivers were so knowledgeable and warm. We got to decide what to see and how long to stay. We watched the antics of baby baboons playing and swinging in the tree and playing king of the mountain. We saw a family of elephants playing in the water and a baby elephant nursing. It was just right mix of rustic and comfort and the everyone was so warm and helpful.

It was truly a trip of a lifetime." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Our first trip to Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 31 May 2015 and 9 Jun 2015
"This was a trip we've been thinking about for 15 years, but when it finally came time to pull the trigger, I honestly didn't know where to start.

James was outstanding from the very beginning — helping me to shape the trip and offering some great suggestions on when and where to go. He was super patient with all my questions along the way, and we always felt like we were in the best hands." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jan 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Jan 2015 and 25 Jan 2015
"Our trip as a whole was superb, with some unbelievably fantastic animal sightings ! We saw all the things we had hoped to see, such as the jackals killing the baby impala, the tree lions and elephant encounter, the vast numbers of wildebeest plus much, much more. We had some stunning sightings of birds, e.g. a Kori Bustard displaying.

Another bonus was the glorious view of Kilimanjaro at Tortilis Camp.

All the places we visited offered something different making our trip interesting and unpredictable as regards the animals.
We also met some wonderful people at each of the Camps/Lodges and our guides were superb and extremely knowledgeable.

Our trip was superb, fulfilled everything we had wanted and has given us some fantastic memories with over a 1000 photos. This was undeniably a trip of a lifetime !" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Nov 2014 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 14 Nov 2014 and 25 Nov 2014
"Can't thanks Expert Africa enough for sorting out all our arrangements, especially at relatively short notice. James D. was tremendously helpful. All the transfers worked like clockwork and we were met without hitch by the local agents. Particularly impressed with the one at Dar (Kearsley Travel) who were very professional (and, on our final departure from Dar when we were transferred to the main terminal by Coastal, we bumped into the driver we had had before who greeted us like old friends!). Slightly less impressed by the agent at Stonetown (Eco-tours), who was rather too keen to sell us the 'Stonetown tour'.. but otherwise transfers there were fine. All in all it was tremendous service from Expert Africa, which I highly recommend and would use again. Thank you!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
