"East Africa - what a great place for safari"
The trip was really well balanced between safari (6 days/2 camps) and beach (8 days) - altough we could very easily have done another 2 or 3 days safari at the end, having had a short break from it to recuperate!

The advice we were given was excellent and the trip was great!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Unforgettable!!"
Expert Africa lives up to it's name. Expert in the help and advice we were given when planning this trip. Expert in booking and making all the necessary arrangements, which went very smoothly, and expert in picking out superb camps for us to stay at. We are not quite sure how we got an upgrade at Sand Rivers, but thank you anyway, it was wonderful.
We had the pleasure of meeting and spending some of our game drives at Mwagusi with Marushka and Peter, who were on a fact finding trip for Expert Africa. We hope that we were able to give them some of our impressions of Mwagusi at the time." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Selous, Ruaha and Zanzibar - magical!"
Beautiful and contrasting places to stay with universally friendly staff and amazing wildlife encounters that I'm sure we will still be talking about in many years to come!
Extremely efficient organisation meant all we had to do was enjoy! Thinking of our next trip already!
Thank you.

Safari was outstanding at Sand Rivers - you really felt that you were the only people there at times.
Mafia is almost undeveloped and gives a very authenic view of the area and its people." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"Two very satisfied customers"
"Fantastic"
We did everything in the right order and their advice really made a big difference. It was worthwhile using Expert Africa, Other independent travellers did not always seem to get the same quality of experience that we got.
The entire trip was the best we've ever had and we are quite used to travelling in the developing world." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Holiday of a lifetime"
Without exception, everyday was enjoyable and exciting. We saw and experienced something new everyday and learned a lot from the trip. We would have stayed on if we could.
The highlights - elephants in the tented camp; sunsets over the lake; swimming with dolphins off Zanzibar. Fantastic.
Suggestions for improvement:
It would have been useful to know how much cash we would need for the trip - given that we were far from banks most of the time.. However, it was easier to use credit cards than we were led to believe. Would also advise clients to arrive in Tanzania with small denominations of cash for tipping porters etc. - whether dollars,pounds or euros, or shillings on arrival."
