"Fantastic Trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 16 Sep 2019 and 3 Oct 2019
"We had a wonderful trip thanks to the fantastic support of Jessica Plumb. She continually went above and beyond in every aspect of our trip from negotiating upgrades to arranging for great local guides and transport. She was truly a joy to work with and we will recommend Jessica and Expert Africa to anyone who is interested in visiting this great continent.
All of our camps, guides, hotels and transport were wonderful. Thank you Jessica and Expert Africa!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Well organised, well balanced trip"
I visited Tanzania between 14 Sep 2019 and 26 Sep 2019
"All good bar two very (very) minor things.
Two parks provided great mix of scenery and wildlife. Two camps were of very high all round standrad.
Staff were uniformly friendly, professional and helpful; guides at both camps were energetic and enthusiastic and made the trip (shout out to Godfrey at Sand Rivers and Geofrey at Ikuka)." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Our return to the Selous"
I visited Tanzania between 1 Sep 2019 and 10 Sep 2019
"We enjoyed our trip immensely and were sad to leave - our guide Rama was excellent and made the whole experience memorable with his deep knowledge, great sense of humour and his obvious love of the bush and its animals & birds.
Another member of staff also deserves a mention - Jossina always had a wide smile and kind word at camp meals, bush dinners, breakfasts, in fact all the time
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
If we decide to return to Africa, your company will be our first port of call - I think that says everything" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"My Aug 2019 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 18 Aug 2019 and 30 Aug 2019
"As mentioned already, somehow the trip exceeded our expectations, even though we had been planning this for years! I am so glad we went with Expert Africa - a well named company. Having all the internal connections sorted out before we left made a big difference to our enjoyment of the trip in that we could relax, knowing everything was covered.
Lyndsey is great - we had a number of calls and countless emails. She always got back to me very quickly (within 24 hours) and provided clear and full reponses to my many questions and requests. Having the same person to work with throughout the process helped greatly and we couldn't have done better than Lyndsey - thank you." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"Best Honeymoon Experience "
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 27 Jul 2019 and 9 Aug 2019
"We booked our honeymoon via Expert Africa upon advise from a friend, Expert Africa were brilliant at asking what we wanted from our trip and Lyndsey our travel expert provided us with lots of options to consider. Her advice was honest and thorough and she spent a lot of time with us trying to get the perfect accommodation for our trip. Our honeymoon was simply amazing and we made memories we will never forget. The whole process was excellent and all the travelling and transfers went seamlessly, we had no issues and were well prepared. Our trip consisted of Safari in the Selous in Tanzania staying at Beho Beho – We can’t rate Beho Beho highly enough and there simply aren’t enough words to be able to describe the experience and hospitality we experienced.
The guides and staff are knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The Camp is beautiful and if you are after luxury and comfort you won’t go wrong, the food is some of the best we have ever eaten, there are a few amazing touches at Beho Beho that we won’t ruin for you if you’re thinking of staying. This was our first safari and the personal experience we had far exceeded our expectations, the highlights for us at the camp were seeing a pack of the wild dogs up close as well as the walking safari.
After the Selous we travelled to Zanzibar staying at the Zuri Zanzibar, Zuri means Beautiful in Swahili and the name does not disappoint – again the hospitality and accommodation are stunning, the food is brilliant – if you want a relaxing break on a white beach look no further.
Expert Africa provided us with more than we could have asked for and we couldn’t recommend them enough." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Amazing trip to Southern Tanzania!"
I visited Tanzania between 27 Jul 2019 and 4 Aug 2019
"We loved our first safari! We had no complaints throughout our trip.
Jessica did a fantastic job planning our itinerary perfectly. She was very responsive to my questions and emails and was so organized.
The Tanzania travel book and leather travel binder were very nice touches. The Nomad camps were first rate, the flights between camps were convenient, and best of all, the people were warm and friendly.
We didn't want our trip to end and definitely want to go back again soon!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Service was impeccable! I'm glad we decided on Expert Africa as you are so organized.
Payment was also very easy on the website." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Southern and Western Tanzania Honeymoon"
I visited Tanzania between 26 Jul 2019 and 13 Aug 2019
"My wife and I loved every minute of our honeymoon. It could not have been better.
Jessica Plumb listened to what we were after - I preferred more rustic places away from the crowds but close to the wildlife and my wife wanted certain comforts (eg flushing toilets!) - and the camps delivered this perfectly. We both loved it. The order that we did the trip as well was perfect as each camp got better and better along the way as we gradually went more and more remote."
