"A memorable adventure"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 1 Jun 2010 and 13 Jun 2010
"As a whole we had a fantastic trip full of memorable experiences.
The people were friendly and welcoming and the accommodation was generally good. The shooting Star lodge was a little disappointing but did not ruin the overall experience.
The service we received from expert Africa has been ecellent, and I would recommend them." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Zanzibar another holiday we will not forget"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 6 Mar 2010 and 21 Mar 2010
"Well organised and just what we wanted.
Actually it was 2 weeks of 5 star treatment in 5 Star locations.
While we were rather concerned that the BA return flight would be cancelled we had to phone your office and tell them we were at risk. In the end all was well.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Second holiday with Expert Africa and again you came up trumps........though I suspect that my wife had a lot of input as well!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 10 on a Zanzibar holiday

I visited Tanzania between 17 Feb 2010 and 5 Mar 2010
"Overall, we enjoyed our trip especially because it provided us an opportunity to spend time with dear friends.
Although we were not entirely satisfied with Sand Rivers or Pole Pole, our dissatisfaction was mainly due to issues that could be resolved through somewhat more strict management of these properties.
Furthermore, what disappointed us about the Sand Rivers guiding may be why others think their guiding is superb. In other words, our dissatisfaction was due more to a mismatch of philosophy than any particular failing of the guide.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Claire was a pleasure to work with. She responded to my emails quickly and with all the information I needed.
Although we were not entirely satisfied with either Sand Rivers or Pole Pole, the reasons for our dissatisfaction have nothing to do with Expert Africa or Claire. I wouldn't hesitate to work with Expert Africa again." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip to Tanzania went smoothly without a hitch and fully met with our expectations, thanks to the organisation from Expert Africa (They live up to their name).
I have compiled a travelogue which details the trip in full and this can be found on my website.

Would I travel with this company again - of course !

"Trip of a lifetime"
I visited Tanzania between 23 Jan 2010 and 5 Feb 2010
"We had amazing safaris, and saw so much more Big Game than we dared hope. The camps were fabulous.
All the Guides, Trackers, Drivers and Ascari were of the highest standard.... Huge thanks to them all.
Diving on Mafia Island, I saw amazing corals, shark, ray, and swam with Whale Shark. Wow
