"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 8 Oct 2022 and 25 Oct 2022
"Our whole trip went like clockwork.
We enjoyed all of the recommended accommodation and wouldn’t have made any changes to the itinerary.
Both Selous and Ruaha are remote and quiet parks to visit and point camps were small and exclusive. The short flights and transfers were all seamless.
We recommended Expert Africa to other guests that we met at Kichaka who had been unhappy with their own agent.
Good idea to give us business cards to hand out!" Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

Thank you to the team for their understanding and helping to handle the logistics during the pandemic and ever evolving red lists, etc... Always excellent service from Expert Africa!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"My Oct 2022 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 29 Sep 2022 and 12 Oct 2022
"Expert Africa was a great travel agency!
Maruska was a pleasure to work with and had great recommendations to create a customized itinerary. She was very knowledgeable about each camp, park, and area we would be visiting. Our trip would not have been as enjoyable without her recommendations.
The website was very easy to use and we enjoyed the animal sightings tracker to help us determine which camps and areas had the best wildlife.
Thanks Maruska and Expert Africa!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 26 Sep 2022 and 14 Oct 2022
"This was a return trip, and a fairly similar itinerary to 5 years ago.
Aided by Expert Africa again, we stuck to what we knew had worked. All the camps continued to be oustanding and the wildlife experience was once again wonderful yet completely different than last time.
We fell in love with Tanzania the first time, and we love it even more now.
Simply magical.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Absolutely not, its been amazing from the outset, and even through the Covid nightmare you managed to keep us up beat and informed.
The only sadness this trip was the relocation of Olakira away from the river which was enforced by local authorities apparently. A great shame because the game experience and game drives were decidely poorer for the extra driving and diversions away from some riverside areas that this relocation requires. Can't be helped and of course if we'd not been there in 2017, we'd have no comparison.
We were only disappointed by the quality of the wine offered with meals. It really was at best average.. We had been spoiled by having Stellenbosch wines in 2017! And we do appreciate that economies may be necessary after the Covid pandemic." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 23 Sep 2022 and 12 Oct 2022
"A fantastic and unforgettable trip - Whilst two years in the making (COVID) was well worth the wait.
Jessica has been an absolute diamond in helping get this trip sorted. We moved things around more than once and Jessica was brilliant in sorting out our needs.
Thank you Jessica :).
Thanks so much for helping us get this organised. This was an expensive trip (for us) so are really pleased it all worked perfectly.
We had such a fantastic time." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 17 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Rwanda and 2 other countries between 18 Sep 2022 and 3 Oct 2022
"Fabulous itinerary and trip.
Amazing sights, awesome game drives, wonderful people.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
We were only disappointed in the level of amenities at Serian.
Given the terrific high standards the rest of the trip, and the trip pricing, we had assumed all camps would be of equal value.
Quite disappointed just about this stay." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 5 on a Rwanda safari

"My Sep 2022 trip"
I visited Tanzania between 17 Sep 2022 and 27 Sep 2022
"All of us greatly enjoyed our trip.
Ruaha is a wonderfully scenic park and its location at the northern limit of some species and the southern limit of others means that it houses a unique variety of animals.
We had some excellent sightings including roan antelope, numerous lions, including a mating pair right by the jeep, and leopard four times.
We stayed at Mwagusi first and then Ikuka and both camps were excellent." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
