Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Yet another great safari organised by Expert Africa.

I thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of my trip and, to put the wildlife sightings into context, my visit was at the end of the season so the recent rains created very thick vegetation which made big cat sightings unlikely.

The sightings of Wild dogs (now Painted Wolves) are always special and I had fantastic bird sightings from both camps.

As always Expert Africa have excelled in organising a fantastic trip, tailored to my requirements and providing complete satisfaction. I am always happy to recommend Expert Africa and I hope they will continue making my safari arrangements for many years to come.

Full marks too, for Sean and Millie at Lake Manze and Malcolm at Mdonya and their respective teams for providing me with such enjoyable stays at their wonderful camps and such great company." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"The entire trip was fantastic.

We were taken care of from the moment we arrived to the moment we departed.

Did not have to worry about a thing and the logistics of the trip were executed fantastically, even with the hiccup of a broken down vehicle.

"The camps were lovely and we were very happy with the level of guiding.

Tanzania is a beautiful country with a lot of culture, wildlife, and birds.

The strict rules about walking away from camp are quite different, but it is because of the dangerous animals." Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Another great trip, thank you very much. I am mostly clear about what sort of trip I am after but find it very useful to be able to bounce ideas and get further information and guidance from Expert Africa.

I greatly appreciate the end to end service that Expert Africa provides, which takes away any little worries concerning travel arrangements.

The 'meet and greet' service and the use of a hotel room between flight connections is a particularly welcome feature." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"The guide we were assigned by Asilia was extraordinary. The most kind , knowledgeable and lovely man … 10 days with a stranger can have its issues but he was fantastic from day one. I cannot recommend Natho high enough. He looked after me - with mobility issues - and my family superbly. I cried when we said farewell which tells you much. Please pass this on to the Asilia management

I was prior to arriving in Tanzania unaware about the distance we would travel. Our guide told me we drove 1455kms !!!
We got infested with tsetse flies in Tarangire… you may wish to advise your clients … wasn’t pleasant

This was our 5th safari you organised for us and beyond the best. Your ground arrangements were superb from beginning to end … KLM NOT SO …

I would like to see a section here about the Guide and our view of them" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Given unprecedented flooding and travel conditions, Expert Africa was extremely supportive and always there for questions and problem solving along the way.

The camps they helped us choose were great and checked every box on our wish list for animal sightings.

One note is that when we were redirected to a less expensive camp because of conditions, the process for getting a refund was awkward." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"A very nice trip off the beaten track.

If you are looking for peace and seclusion, this is the place for you.

It may be a little different in the high season...

Not at the moment, as the trip was wonderfully organized and my wishes were actively taken into account." Read full review: 19 nights in Africa; 18 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall our trip was excellent.

Looking back, perhaps the most wonderful thing was the feeling that someone was in control and we didn’t have to worry about anything.

It was wonderful. Thanks a lot!!!" Read full review: 20 nights in Africa; 7 on a Kenya safari

"We had the absolutely best time. Expert Africa help create an unforgettable trip for us both, it is quite expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. All flights and transfers went smoothly. Safari and Lamai in particular were the standout highlights. The quality of game viewing in the Serengeti was excellent. Tanzania as a country is beautiful and we found the locals all very friendly. Our safari guides were excellent and really added to the experience. This was easily the best holiday we have been on and really would love to go back to Tanzania. We probably wouldn't do Zanzibar again but focus more on safari. Thank you to everyone who made this a truly incredible experience." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
