"Fab time in Tanzania"
Both Selous and Ruaha were amazing places to get really close to the animals and the scenery was breathtaking. We would also like to thank Liz Wollen and Eleanor Dunkels at Expert Africa who spent a lot of time talking us through the different camps and locations. Their help was immeasurable and their advice was spot on. Our trip ran like clockwork and their recommendations were superb. Overall we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend it.

The service provided by Expert Africa is fantatastic and we can't think of anything that they could do better." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"A really great trip"
Beho Beho managed to create a really welcoming safari house party atmosphere (probably helped by the fact that the owner's mother "Mrs B" was staying). Seasoned safari folk might find it a little too sanitised and soft but we enjoyed it all the same.
Kwihala really does deserve a higher profile. it's not the poshest but it's for real, in a genuine piece of wilderness. Pietro was really enthusiastic. He really has a passion for lions which, perhaps almost got in the way of the wider safari experience such as simply stopping and looking at the "normal" wildlife. Also chasing the lions meant that breakfast and lunch almost went forgotten. Now, we know that nothing is predictable in the field but it did mean that on a couple days the gap between lunch and dinner was almost indigestably short.
Pole Pole was a complete downshift in pace, and a totally welcome one too. All services were delivered faultlessly and effortlessly. The atmosphere in the village was good too." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

I also had contact with Liz Wollen [Ed: one of the Expert Africa team] who was also very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble even when I changed my requirements in my initial enquiry. Everything was organised and detailed perfectly.
Thank you Expert Africa. I would have no doubts in recommending anyone to you." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
"A wonderful adventure"
We could only manage one week away and the balance of walking/camping to time in Sand River and Beho Beho was just right. Beho Beho sets the standard for safari camps.

The trips are excellent, service very good and, despite trying, we cannot better you on price." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 18 on a Tanzania safari
"A wonderful holiday"
Tanzania itself was wonderful. The people we met were charming and gracious, the countryside, animals, birds, sea and fish were breathtaking and Stone Town was a fascinating place to end a memorable holiday. For all of us Chole Mjini was definitely the highlight but Lake Manze is pretty hard to fault!
