"Trip of a lifetime!"
Especial thanks to Claire Scott for drawing up at least 8 different itineraries for us. thank you for being so patient.
It was the perfect honeymoon.
Suggestions for improvement:
Keep doing what you are doing!
Any location after BehoBeho was going to be a slight anticlimax. Thank you for warning us.
Apparently July/August is the windy season in Mafia?? - perhaps it is worth warning people in advance as certainly at the start of our stay alot of the excursions could not run. That was fine for us as we just wanted to relax but other guests there were very disappointed." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"Great African Adventure"
I would not hesitate to recommend expert africa to friends and family and will use the company again in the future.
Thanks" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
"Fantastic holiday"
I think we were well advised and the combination of lodges worked very well. The animals we saw at both exceeded my expectations, and we weren't surrounded by lots of humans! Often we could have been the only people for miles (and probably were).
Suggestions for improvements:
can't think of anything." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
"Out of Africa Back to Manningtree"
Tanzania comes across with great credit - a very friendly country with helpful people.A water/land safari was a real plus and exceeded expectations.
Suggestions for improvements:
You compare well with other companies that we have used elsewhere in the world and we will use you as the reference base for any future trips to Africa. Mateo (manager at Selous) spoke highly of EA and mentioned that you visited the region to check on the details rather than took stuff off web sites."

"A fantastic holiday"
Suggestions for improvements:
We like the eco-tourism aspects of your company's approach, and feel it is important to highlight this, especially on holidays such as ours.
We've recommended you to lots of people with total confidence, as our holidays organised by you have always exceeded expectations ! Thank you." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"Un unforgettable trip"
Of course there was a risk that we created too big expectations. But during the trip and now afterwards when we talk about our adventures, we can easily say that this was above all expectations - the tanzanian people, the wildlife and the excellent food has given us a memory for life."

Claire tailored an excellent itinerary and her suggestions of locations that suited us were spot on. We would certainly use Expert Africa again." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

Keep up the good work !" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
""
Everything wnet smoothly, apart from the hiccup with the Selous flight, which was a Costal problem.
Suggestions for improvements:
Nothing to add. We have used Expert Africa five times now and Sunvil to go to Costa Rica. We always mention the company whenever we are asked about our trips to Africa." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
"Brilliant"
Zanzibar Coffee House was perfectly acceptable, but a bit of a step down in terms of quality/comfort after Unguja Lodge and Selous Impala Camp.
All the internal flights and connections worked out perfectly, making the travelling stress-free.
Suggestions for improvemwents:
Perhaps you should mention in the pre-trip letter that return BA flights can be confirmed , seats booked and boarding passes printed 24 hours in advance at internet cafes in Stone Town, (and presumably at camps with computer access and a printer if they're willing).
Also include water shoes in your list of what to pack, especially for Zanzibar." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
