"A "work clouded" sojourn"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 25 Jan 2012 and 11 Feb 2012
"No criticism of the tour - just that I needed to complete some work that, beyond my control, extended into my holiday time, and ate up alot of the benefit I would have otherwise have had from the trip. But it was a great counterbalance to the nonsense that came my way by email. just that it rendered the really fabulous places I stayed and experiences slightly tarnished.
I would actually like to go again, just to work that clouding out of my mind.....
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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"
I visited Tanzania between 19 Jan 2012 and 29 Jan 2012
"Once again we have had a great trip to Africa. We knew that Beho Beho and Oyster Bay would be incredible and they didn't disappoint. Sand Rivers was good and we enjoyed seeing a different part of the Selous.
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.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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.
Comments in your brochure are accurate - I can really find no faults at all with Expert Africa!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

I visited Tanzania between 12 Jan 2012 and 22 Jan 2012
"Great trip - good time to see birds in breeding plumage but not the best time for animals - we had 3/4 wet days in Ruaha. We had been warned about this by Expert Africa so was not a problem
All the pick ups and itinerary arrangement worked like clockwork - which is quite an achievement in Africa

"21 Days in Tanzania and Victoria Falls"
I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 7 Jan 2012 and 29 Jan 2012
"Overall good trip.
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 visited Tanzania between 31 Dec 2011 and 13 Jan 2012
"Overall, the whole trip, accommodation and people that we met exceeded our expectations.
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!!

I visited Rwanda and 3 other countries between 23 Dec 2011 and 8 Jan 2012
"Additional Feedback - Patrick our guide was wonderful sometimes his timekeeping was slightly off but he excelled in everything else, the roads through Rwanda were sometimes very poor especially from Nyungwe to Lake Kivu however it was so scenic. he was so knowledgeable and catered to our whims especially with the gorillas,
We have already recommended Expert Africa to so many people after this trip for both the advisory service before and the quality of the holiday. We had the most wonderful holiday surpassing all our expectations. Thank you so much for arranging it.

"Ruaha & Selous"
I visited Tanzania between 22 Oct 2011 and 30 Oct 2011
"We really enjoyed the trip - Our fourth visit to Africa and we wondered beforehand whether it could match previous trips - It certainly did.
The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a fantastic trip and were very happy with the advice given by Expert Africa and the way the trip was put together.
All the lodges and hotels were excellent.
All ground transfers and domestic flights worked really well (however, in DAR the car did not have functioning seat belts)
The information material provided was very useful.
We will definitely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and hope to travel with you again one day.
