"8 Days in Ruaha"
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I would like to see the website/brochure with a bit more information on pricing- at least guideline prices. Also information on special offers eg "stay 4-pay 3". As a solo traveller, information on single supplements and ideas for trips with low or no single supplements would be much appreciated." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"My May 2012 trip"
I chose to make my trip early in the season (arriving around June1). I knew that the game viewing would potentially be better later in the season when more of the water sources had dried up, but wanted to travel before the dry season became too advanced and everything really dried out. My assessment proved correct, but I have no real regrets about the timing of my trip.
However, most of the camps were just opening, with various "start-up" issues (changing staff, finding where the animals were hanging out, etc.) and animals would likely have been better acclimated to the vehicles in another week or so. A week later might thus have been better timing for the trip, but hardly a major issue." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari
"The first time to Tanzania"
We wanted to go to Tanzania where we had never been before because of the rainy seasons. It was difficult to find a good destination in january/february.
Claire was a good help and after some phonecalls, with the brochure on both sides of the telephone (Holland-England) we made a wonderful itinerary together.
Maybe next time we could combine the Southern part of the Serengeti with Selous at this time of the year.

Filling in the feedbackform is very time-consuming because we are invited to give "real" feedback, which goes back to the camps and on the internet. (and English is not my home-language)
On the other hand the reviews of other guests helped us to make up our mind. So, after all, don´t change it" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari
"A "work clouded" sojourn"
I would actually like to go again, just to work that clouding out of my mind.....

Just keep up the site visits - the insight is very helpful. And the managers note it too - one explicitly said that you were one of the most reliable, in informing the clients placed with them, and following up. So well done!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
"Another wonderful holiday"
Our only problem, which was quite beyond your control, were the biting insects that had appeared after the 2 days of rain in the Selous before we arrived!
I would like to thank Ellie for all her help - as usual there were so many e mails between us and she was just so efficient and patient in answering and then organising our trip.

We have used Expert Africa for several years now and always find your staff extremely pleasant and helpful. We have never had any problems with arrangements - drivers always there to collect us etc.
We have told many people to contact you and just wish that other travel companies could be like you.

"21 Days in Tanzania and Victoria Falls"
Expert Africa provided excellent seemless and timely pickup and drop-off services from the moment we landed in Africa. With this service, my daughter and I felt very safe; and it also made the trip that much more fun. Eleanor Dunkels did a great job from the time of preparation, advising us what to bring with us and where to go, catering to our requirements.

"Summary"
I was glad that Liz had persuaded me to opt for Pole Pole rather than Kinasi resort. The personal experience that you have with the resorts is invaluable.
A fantastic choice for our honeymoon and wetted our appetite for future adventures in Africa....Thanks very much!!
