"My Nov 2024 trip"
There were some animals we did not see, due to the dry time of the year.
The staff did everything to help us to see as much as possible.
We felt very well taken care of." Read full review: 2 nights in Africa; 2 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania Walking Safaris Oct/Nov 2024 "
One small gripe the EA are aware of - we had quite a long lay over on arrival and time would have been better split 50/50 between Terminal 3 (International) and Terminal 1 (light aircraft). Terminal 1 was relatively basic and Terminal 3 would have afforded more and better eating options after 20 hours of travelling. Feedback on this was very quickly and sensitively handled.
We expect to use Expert Africa again !" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"My Oct 2024 trip"
"Our Oct 2024 trip"
The camps we visited both had excellent facilities and staff but Jongomero staff really stole our heart! What wonderful and authentic people!
We recognized real changes in Southern Tanzania that have occurred during the five years since we last visited. Climate change has affected the weather. We had three evenings of rain at Jongomero (one torrential) that surprised everyone since it was still the dry season. At Siwandu, the temperatures reached the high nineties.
Both changes impacted game viewing but our guides were great and went above and beyond to ensure great viewing opportunities. Another change that we noticed in the Selous was “progress” since the new dam was completed. The airstrip has been expanded and they are building yet a newer, bigger one. There is now miles of unpaved highway and lots of truck traffic. Of course, all of this has impacted wildlife. Lastly, we talked at length with many of the camp staff. They told us that cell phones and technology in general is changing life in their villages. Many young people are looking at other options rather than the traditional tribal ways."

"My Sep 2024 trip"
The high standard of accommodation, safari and activities on the island were greatly appreciated.
The company running the safari camp and Fanjovi Island are a masterclass in customer service.
Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
The only reason I left "value for money" blank is because we have never paid so much for a holiday, nor have we been on a safari so have nothing similar to compare it to.
It was our best holiday, it exceeded our expectations, so no gripes on the "value for money".
No, we don't have any suggestions to improve your trips or your service ---- and that's unusual." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
