"AWESOME TRIP"
For the most part, everything ran smoothly. Transfers were on time, reservations were all correct. Only hiccup was at Kati Kati, where we were directed to three different camps before finding the correct one. Other than that the trip was truly amazing. Each place knew we were on our honeymoon and did special little things for us.
Nomad Tanzania, and especially our guide, Cornelius, were amazing. Made our trip so much better than we could have expected. Will be recommending an African trip, Maruska, Nomad, and Expert Africa to all our our friends and families.

"An excellent african experience"
"Tanzania and Rwanda"
Nairobi airport was not a good experience, both changing to fly to Tanzania and coming back from Rwanda. Talking to others, flying to Amsterdam and then with KLM to Kilimanjaro sounded much easier." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Honey moon June 2012"
Not a single problerm, and in every place they have had special details for us, which makes our holiday even more special." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
"My Jun 2012 trip"
Claire was very helpful in putting this trip together, and it was super well organised all the way through - absolutely everything went to plan, and we felt throughout that we were in very good hands.
We had already been to Namibia with Expert Africa in 2007 and given this Tanzania trip was another very positive experience, we would definitely contact Expert Africa again to organise our next trip to Africa." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 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
"My May 2012 trip"
Thanks so much to Liz for organising our perfect Silver Wedding Anniversary trip, it surpassed all our expectations and was utterly memorable." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Serengeti Safari"
We did not appreciate the Tse tse flies in Lamai but mosquitos did not appear to be a problem.
Everywhere was very dusty as there had been no recent rain.
We were fortunate to be able to do a walking safari along the Mara river, this was great and definitely one of our highlights
We would be very happy to recommend both our guides.

The wealth and variety of wildlife sights were fantastic. What really made it was having an excellent driver/guide. Harry was tireless in trying to make sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, very informative, had a great sense of humour and was endlessly patient.
Any birds we saw he always took the trouble to show us in the OUP guide so we could see both picture and name. This was a great help to me as I have a hearing problem.

I don't think so. The people Expert Africa use, certainly seem a good choice as a Tanzanian safari company." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
