"Wonderful trip to Tanzania and Zambia"
Many thanks to Claire Scott (EA) for organising it all, and especially for recommending Kigelia in Ruaha, it is an amazing place! Glad I visited Selous before Ruaha as it only got better! Chongwe River Camp in Lower Zambezi still remains my favourite camp. The team from Tours Africa in Lusaka airport also deserves a mention for being so helpful at arrivals and during transfers.
This trip was a fantastic experience from start to finish!

Not sure you could raise standards any higher!
Third time I have used EA and have never been disappointed. Already looking forward to booking my next trip with your team in the future." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
"superb honeymoon with some amazing memories"
If you are looking to guarantee seeing all the big 5 (especially lions and rhino) then I guess there are better places to go. But if like us, you are looking for the whole authentic experience without hardly seeing another vehicle then this could be for you. Some very magical moments along the way.
The tree house whole experience was very special. Seeing so many animals together by the shores of Lake Manzi, seeing hippos run, meeting two by our path on the way to bed, turning the engine off and just watching troupes of baboons etc play, and so on. The giraffes in huge numbers. Too many things to mention.
Brilliant." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania/Rwanda Safari trip - Jun/Jul 2016"
James at Expert Africa listened and probed as to what we wanted and expected from our first safari experience, and then put together several itinerary options that would meet our needs. He was able to answer all our questions, and to provide us with lots of additional information that helped us in selecting the final choices for our Safari holiday."

"Absolutely incredible experience"
In fact, one of my guides in the Serengeti was extremely impressed with my chosen itinerary, commenting that he didn't see many tourists who went that route.
Again, I'm very grateful for your help and would highly recommend your company in the future." Read full review: 27 nights in Africa; 20 on a Tanzania safari
"My Jun 2016 trip"
As I said before everyone was helpful and friendly, the guides were excellent, again the only down side was the day flight back to Heathrow, but that out of your control.

"TANZANIA TO ZANZIBAR"
"Great return to Tanzania"
It was great to be back in Tanzania and we split our time between the Selous and Ruaha. We chose to stay in just two camps and that paid off as we got to know the staff and the areas a bit better. The camps complemented each other well - Sand Rivers is more obviously luxurious while Mwagusi is very comfortable but keeps a welcome sense of the bush and the 'old days'.
We went at the very beginning of the dry season - the up side was there were fewer guests there; the down side was the bush was still very green and dense so our guides had to work a bit harder to find the game - but we saw loads!
Expert Africa, you maintained your usual high standards and everything ran smoothly. Thanks again!

Keep going! Keep specialising in Africa. Keep a real range of camps - the basic and the old-fashioned are an endangered species these days." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Tanzania"
We enjoyed the company and expertise of Chris Fox and his team, making it very personal." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania in the (very) Wet Season"
Just one very slight niggle - getting the Tanzanian visas on arrival in Dar proved to be a bit of a nightmare. There is no organisation resulting in passports for each member of the group being returned haphazardly one taking over an hour to handed back .TAB ( that's Africa baby!!)
We think that it is definitely worth the extra expense of applying for the visas in U.K.
