"Our 3rd safari"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2014 and 9 Sep 2014
"Once again Expert Africa has helped us plan a superior holiday. As we have more experience with safari travel, they have helped us zero in on those camps that fulfill our wants.
We enjoy small, intimate camps with great managers and varied activities and the Expert Africa staff has done a great job of guiding us to the right locations. Two of the camps on this trip are owned by Asilia and we recommend them highly. It seems that Asilia does a great job of allowing each of their camps to have its own distinct personality, while providing the staff and management with excellent training opportunities. The third camp we visited on this trip was independently owned and was equally spectacular.
A big thank you to Claire Scott and Richard Trillo, with an occasional assist from Eleanor Dunkels, too!
We look forward to working with you again when we plan our next trip." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Awesome!"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 16 Aug 2014 and 27 Aug 2014
"An amazing trip that couldn't/wouldn't have happened without Liz and James at Expert Africa. He captured exactly what we wanted to do and made that possible in this trip. Fantastic people that we met whilst out there and definitely want to return!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps relook at Tembo hotel as I don't think it matched the quality that you seem to offer!
Give James Denny a pay rise!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Tanzania 2014"
I visited Tanzania between 29 Jul 2014 and 12 Aug 2014
"Excellent. Have not written much about the parks. While we are glad we visited Ngorongoro and lake Manyara (one person visited these over 30 years ago and they were much different) we would not not return to either. Tarangire, North Serengeti, and Ruaha were all great in their own ways and very much worth the visit, if we were to return we would explore different parts of the very large, diverse, and less trammeled Ruaha. Even with any minor complaints we would do it all again just as it occurred. We have a short slide show (with small camera) should you want a copy. Although we know people were trying to please and we saw the good side, everyone we met was very friendly and clearly took pride in what their country and people had to offer. NB: With a few exceptions, when you asked, you could get quite good, strong coffee rather than the instant coffee often served. Interesting for a major coffee-producing nation. We would consider Expert Africa for any future Africa travel, perhaps Namibia.

Not much to say here. It was really Ellie who walked us through the process. Well done Ellie." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"My jul 2014 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 11 Jul 2014 and 21 Jul 2014
"The trip as a whole was good. All arrangements were perfect and the camps with staff was very nice. The thing we weren't 100% satisfied with was the wildlife. This may be because we have already experienced a lot on previous safaris, also in places that are less commercial and visited than for example the Serengeti and the Masai Mara.
Lake Manze was much better for us than the Impala camp. We liked the rustic camp a lot, and the scenery and wildlife sightings was overall much better." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"My Dec 2013 trip"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 25 Dec 2013 and 7 Jan 2014
"Based on a 'general idea'of what we wanted - Angela put together an absolutely perfect itinerary for us as a family. Her expert knowledge really guided us in our final choices and she spent plenty of time over quite a few calls discussing different scenarios and timetables of how to organise the trip.
Up to the time of leaving - Angela was regularly answering queries about the trip - always being available to guide and reassure us on preparations." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
