Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Claire and her colleagues at Expert Africa were extremely knowledgeable and helpful in putting together our package of safaris and beach holiday. In both camps our excellent guides had to use all their skills to find the game in such dense bush and over such large areas, but find it they did.

The sightings were excellent, the animals and birds less skittish than we expected, particularly in Ruaha, and the weather much drier and more settled than might have been at this time of the year. The Safari Camps and their staff were excellent in every respect, and we had the comfortable and relaxing time at Breezes that we hoped for – a great holiday, and we can't wait to return."

"As a whole it was a fantastic first trip to Africa.

Thank you, Eleanor, for your patience, flexibility and advice, and expecially for recommending Beho Beho!

Suggestions for improvement:

The service is great, we felt very well informed and we will definitely use and recommend Expert Africa's services in the future." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"I was drawn to Expert Africa by the quality of the website and this was supported by Eleanor understanding our brief straight away and sorting the itinerary. However we felt really let down when we had paid (I was given a 24 hour deadline to pay) and then told we couldn't do it because availability had not been checked fully and neither the suggested internal flights or suggested hotel rooms were available! It was then a scramble to try to find something that worked, which was more stressful than it should have been, involving compromise and additional cost on our part.

The trip itself was a wonderful experience and our expectations managed well. Expert Africa clearly know the accomodation in Tanzania and despite the early hiccup did deliver a great family holiday" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 3 on a Tanzania safari

"The title says it all really, we had a really great time at both the camp and the beach lodge. Would we go there again? To Tanzania....possibly, to Zanzibar....probably not, but we're really pleased that we did what we did. At no point were we left waiting for someone to pick us up or for something to happen - all the transfers were seamless and a credit to the organising team back at base, so thankyou Ellie, for organising us so well!

We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa to any and everyone who wishes to travel to Africa and we look forward to dealing with you again.

Apart from making Tanzania a bit less humid in February we can't think of anything we have had the most wonderful time." Read full review: 22 nights in Africa; 21 on a Tanzania safari

"It was a wonderful holiday.

We were very happy with all the places we went to and felt that Expertafrica had found places that really suited us. Everything worked like clockwork until the last flight home. We would (and did) recommend your company to other people and if we do another trip to Africa would certainly consult you.

Can't think of any!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall, our experience was excellent. The problem with the Precision air times did mar our relationship with expert africa at the time, but now we feel that they did pretty much everything they could to ensure we had the holiday we wanted.

Someone at Expert Africa (not Peter) asked if we had ever been to Dar es salaam when trying to make us feel that another night there was ok, but it is still not somewhere we would choose to spend any time. This person also said that we would "only" be missing dinner at Impala camp, whereas in fact we missed an afternoon activity, dinner, morning activity and breakfast as well as being in a beautiful place. If that person can compare the two places then I wouldn't want to go on holiday with them!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"all went smoothly.

The first day was quite long and it appears that Asilia forgot to provide us with a lunchbox and so the camp had to make us a late lunch when we arrived" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari
