Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Beho Beho and Oyster Bay have spoiled us for life. We are saving our pocket money again so that we can return!!
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

"Many thanks to Claire for her expert advice and service. Our trip was excellent and executed seemlessly.

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, and very well organised. Everywhere we went we were met by people who were expecting us and knew where we should be! This obviously meant we could relax and enjoy the experience. Everyone was very friendly and helpful

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

"Wonderful and glad we booked at short notice on the basis of the short S Times note.

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."

"Please see the title! It was all excellent, just what we wanted, and a memorable trip for everyone.

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

"Excellent. The places we visited and wildlife we saw were wonderful. A great experience for the children. The guides were excellent. Accomodation generally excellent with a couple of exceptions.

Wish we had spent at least a day in Arusha NP.

Suggestions for improvements:

No - I think your advice was excellent

Only thing for us would be if you could help customers who come a cropper with BA like us!

Thank you for your help in setting up a brilliant trip." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"We were both very happy with the trip, all the arrangements went smoothly. I am vary satisfied with Expert Africa and will be recommending it. Your service, as compared to the general standard here in Holland is outstanding." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We saved money for several years to catch our dream to go to Africa. Then, more than one year in advance we started to plan the trip in detail, together with the most professional staff from Expert Africa.

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."

"Driver ( Martin) was particularly good. However, unlike nearly all other vehicles , this one did not have sun canopies.

We had a problem with flights at one stage and tried ringing the Sunvil '24 hour helpline'. I rang 10 times and left at least 3 messages but never received a reply. In the end i had to ring Claire on her mobile early in the morning to get help." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari

"A memorable experience - although we have been to Africa several times before, we still had new sights and experiences.

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
