"Summary"
I was glad that Liz had persuaded me to opt for Pole Pole rather than Kinasi resort. The personal experience that you have with the resorts is invaluable.
A fantastic choice for our honeymoon and wetted our appetite for future adventures in Africa....Thanks very much!!

It is really difficult to come up with anything substantial.
Information on the camps is comprehensive but maybe a little more about the types of animals which can be encountered and the environment and terrain as well as camp facilities,but this is a small point." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
"A memorable trip"
We had good flights and the accommodation at Sand Rivers was excellent, particularly when you think how far from civilization we were. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and produced good food. On our safari rides we saw a wide variety of animals, including a leopard, crocodiles, two prides of lions, a herd of buffalo, hippos out of the water, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, warthogs and many more.
We also saw a wide variety of birds, including Goliath herons, Marabu storks, spoon bills, fish eagles, pelicans and many small birds. We had two trips on the Ruffiji river where we came into close contact with hippos and crocs and had sundowners on the shore at sun set which was magical.
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and was willing to spend as much time as we asked at various viewing points. We can strongly recommend leaving the Camp very early and having breakfast on safari.

Nothing apart from improving the service at the Swahili House." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

I believe we picked the right game parks - plenty of game but fewer people, which, again, was what we wanted.
Thanks to Expert Africa for helping to make it happen!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't think of anything. We were pleased with the service and information provided.
I've mentioned it before, and I wouldn't want to give the impression that these detracted signicantly from our enjoyment but tetses in Mdonya and the non-availability of walking safaris in Mdonya were slight "hiccups".
Thanks to Liz for all your help." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

I will not hesitate to book another trip with Expert Africa and I will highly recommend them to my friends.

We would love to see Madagascar added to your portfolio!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Ruaha & Selous"
The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.

Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

Careful planning (thanks to Liz) meant we got exactly the kind of camps and experiences we prefer. Most of the time we had a guide to ourselves - always a bonus!
It is hard to think that we can better this - but I am sure we will try. I am reliving our wonderful holiday completing this feedback

All the lodges and hotels were excellent.
All ground transfers and domestic flights worked really well (however, in DAR the car did not have functioning seat belts)
The information material provided was very useful.
We will definitely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and hope to travel with you again one day.

"An absolutely wonderful, memorable holdiay"
Quite a few of the people we met were 'old safari hands' and without exception, they said that we could not have chosen better places to visit for our first trip to Tanzania, to get a slice of the 'real' safari experience.

Probably one of the most efficient and easy holiday companies we have dealt with. We had left things to the very last minute and despite this, the team was unfazed and helpful.
Would definitely use Expert Africa again. Also competitively priced." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
