"It was the most fabulous honeymoon ever!"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 11 Oct 2008 and 24 Oct 2008
"I don't think that you need to improve anything we were very pleased with our honeymoon, the first week safaris were so good that I cried when I got to Zanzibar as I wanted to go back to Sayari Camp!
You ensured that we had an unforgettable honeymoon, thank you for all your hard work, Joanne Ingle" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Tanzania (this year)"
I visited Tanzania between 9 Oct 2008 and 19 Oct 2008
"A very enjoyable trip. Selous Impala camp and Magwusi make a very good 'pair'. Four nights was a good time to stay.
Suggestions for improvement:
We, again, enjoed our safari. Everything was as it should be. Unfortunately the prices keep rising." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Yet another wonderful trip to Tanzania"
I visited Tanzania between 5 Oct 2008 and 19 Oct 2008
"Excellent trip. Everything went very smoothly as usual - we did not have to think about connections, being met etc. as Expert Africa had done all that for us. The only issue and it was not much of an issue was the unexpected change from Foxes Safari Camp to Vuma Hills Camp in Mikumi - but it did not affect our overall enjoyment - we knew that if Expert Africa had known about this we would have been told straightaway.
We are often asked why we go to more than one camp in an area - but each camp offers a very different experience - but we could Safari for much longer than we did this time and enjoy every single day! We are looking forward to planning our next trip with you! Many thanks
Suggestions for improvement:
We have not come across an issue that would need improvement so nothing to add here - we are very satisfied with all that you offer." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

I visited Tanzania between 4 Oct 2008 and 19 Oct 2008
"Generally we enjoyed our trip to Tanzania but missed the early starts that we had enjoyed in Zambia.
The guiding was variable in quality with Beho Beho being excellent and Lake Manze pretty dire. Ras Kutani was pretty and very relaxing and Mwagusi pretty good." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"Happy campers!"
I visited Tanzania between 2 Oct 2008 and 16 Oct 2008
"Worth every penny! All expectations met (maybe a little more than we bargained for with the the tsetse flies!) Having travelled to Africa with a small number fo travel companies over the past 20 years, Expert Africa come top of the list, and we will certainly look to you to again for future trips.
Your help in easing the blow of the lost wallet is very much appreciated as this could easily have dampened what has has been a truly excellent trip, many thanks.
As an aside it may be worth noting that if people's expectations are for smooth roads and Michelin star catering then perhaps the middle of Africa is not for them! Considering the locations and the tools available overall the camps manage extremely well.

I visited Tanzania between 2 Oct 2008 and 14 Oct 2008
"We had an excellent holiday, enjoyed our first visit to Tanzania very much indeed and we shall consider going back next year.
It was very interesting going from Dar to Ras Katani by mini bus especially waiting for the overloaded ferry at the fish market!
We noticed a much more relaxed attitude to clothing at the camps compared with the more strict neutral colour requirements in Zambia when on activities.

Sorry no, because we have enjoyed all our trips with you immensely." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"The whole thing was superb"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 27 Sep 2008 and 12 Oct 2008
"The whole thing was superb - we couldn't have wished for more.
Suggestions for improvement:
There is simply no room for improvement !
I should just add that although we were told that the Emerson Green hotel was not as good as it used to be, we went for dinner there on our last night and it was excellent, so perhaps it is picking up again. We even had live music into the bargain !" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday

"A fabulous safari"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 22 Sep 2008 and 7 Oct 2008
"The safari part of our trip was excellent. Pole Pole was a little disappointing - quality and too long at the resort. Expert Africa should not use Beyt al Chai until it is refurbished.
We are very impressed with Exprt Africa itself. All staff very helpful and concerned that we have an enjoyable holiday (which we did).
Information provided pre deprture very comprehensive and helpful. Terrific web-site which was one of the factors that convinced us to use EA. We really felt they knew what they were talking about." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
