"A wonderful safari experience in Tanzania"
I visited Tanzania between 17 Oct 2009 and 30 Oct 2009
"We had a wonderful safari in Tanzania and as usual returned home wanting to go back to Africa again.
The lodges were just as described in your brochure and we were extremely lucky with the game that we saw.
We wanted to see Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dogs and saw all of these and more.
Thank you very much to Ellie for her help and advice and patience with us changing our minds on a number of occasions before finalising the holiday.

"Wonderful 15 days safariing"
I visited Tanzania between 12 Oct 2009 and 27 Oct 2009
"It was a very good holiday. Although we have not visited (yet) the North, the South of Tanzania is still devoided of mass tourism ( although one can already see it coming due to the Zanzibar/Mafia vicinity). Selous and Ruaha are really precious. Animals are still afraid/ cautious of Land Rovers.
Unfortunately, we did see some pouching activity at Mikumi (was reported to the camp manager and Park Rangers) and we sincerely hope that was just for bush meat.
Thank you for another wonderful holiday." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"We can hardly wait to go back"
I visited Tanzania between 12 Oct 2009 and 25 Oct 2009
"I always think that the theory of relativity applies to holidays in that time seems to be SO much shorter in Africa than back in the reality of work and the cold of Canada.
It helps to use the expert services of the staff at Expert AFrica who know their business inside and out. We will definitely be back to Africa and will be using Expert Africa again.
Suggestions for improvements:
None off the top of my head." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Wondreful safari and finish with nice dive"
I visited Tanzania between 10 Oct 2009 and 25 Oct 2009
"We had a very good trip and we are very happy to do it with Expert Africa. All the information that Eleanor gave us before our departure on the camps and the parks were very honest and correct. Maybe more clarification was needed on Mafia Marine park entrance fees, but it was also our mistake.
We were very happy to deal with Eleanor and whole Expert Africa team. Thanks." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Once in a lifetime - possibly not"
I visited Tanzania between 30 Aug 2009 and 13 Sep 2009
"As ever everything was very well organised and any problems ironed out before they become a problem. Some trips just work and this was one of those trips.
It is all in the planning and the fantastic staff at EA - thanks again Claire and well done - I enjoyed the fruits of your hard work.

"Tanzania Honeymoon Feedback"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2009 and 8 Sep 2009
"The places we stayed were all we hoped they would be and more.
The Z-Hotel and its location may not be everyone preference, especially for those seeking a more isolated, santatised type "Maldives" experience. For my Wife and I it was a perfect change to the "Maldives" type experience as we travelled to the Maldives last September.
The Safari was simply amazing on all levels !!
We would not have changed anything ... although at a push knowing what I know now I may have opted for an alternate hotel in Dar es Salaam for the last night." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Third great trip with Expert Africa - Sunvil"
I visited Tanzania between 15 Aug 2009 and 30 Aug 2009
"A great holiday - very difficult to find fault with anything, all aspects were of an excellent standard - except
There seemed to be a bit of a mix up when we arrived at Dar es Salaam and nobody came for ages to take us to the domestic flight area - did turn up eventually but it was a bit disconcerting to be virtually the last people off the plan still waiting for a lift, after that everything went well."
