Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Very good trip all round, excellent accommodation and very well organised." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

"We had a lovely holiday and would recommend it wholeheartedly to anyone.

It was a lovely combination of beach and safari and the areas of Selous and Ruaha were totally different experiences. The snorkelling on Mafia was unexpectedly wonderful. Expert Africa certainly guided us to some lovely places and it is one of the best experiences of Africa we have had. All our connections went very smoothly and we were well looked after."

"I am almost lost for words about how amazing our trip to southern Tanzania was. It far exceeded our expectations in terms of accommodation and the game viewing and we wished we could stay much longer.

It was an expensive trip for us but worth every penny.

Elizabeth and James booked our trip for us and it was very well planned. What I really appreciated was that they took into account our very strict budget and still went out of their way to help us. I have found some agencies become rather reluctant to help you once they realise you will not be purchasing all the optional extras and need to stay within budget but I never felt that with Expert Africa.

I hope to book with them again in the future and would recommend without hesitation." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"Do not obfuscate just with the Northern Circuit , If you want great wildlife viewing with far fewer crowds then go to the south , Selous and Ruaha are wild and beautiful ." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"We had the most wonderful trip from start to finish - Claire at Expert Africa was incredibly helpful & efficient, made really excellent suggestions. The guidance notes were very helpful and it was a lovely touch to received the Brandt guide & the beautiful wallet.

All our ground arrangements were perfect. The two guides they supplied were very good and knowledgeable. The six days we spent with Gabrielle were fantastic - he was happy to allow us to spend hours just observing animal behaviour & took great trouble to explain & identify various animals & plants.

Both guides were keen to make sure that Richard was put into the best available spot as he is a very keen photographer. Two picnics stand our in particular - one with David in Ngorongoro were we had our lunch in a spectacular location away from the other tourists! and with Gabrielle we had a brilliant 'breakfast with hippos' experience!

It was lovely to have a break at Arusha on the way to the airport, it was much appreciated to be able to have a shower, repack for the flight & have a rest before travelling home overnight. Although Onsea House is lovely we felt the staff somewhat lacked the charm & care that we had experienced elsewhere.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Expert Africa - an extremely professional organisation." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall this was a fabulous holiday, only marred by poor food in Zanzibar and apallling service from Precision air who not only made us miss our last day of holiday but lied outright to us about the flights.

Would definitly recommned Beho Beho to anyone. Unguja was lovely but with some things to improve." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Would like to add that the guides were the highlight of our holiday. Ernest and Ayoub became our friends and without them we could not have enjoyed our time in Tanzania as much as we did. They were both incredibly knowledgeable, great fun, and so professional.

Everything from start to finish worked according to plan so many thanks to Expert Africa, and everyone thereafter who gave us a wonderful and memorable experience. We may not be in a position to repeat such a holiday but would recommend it to friends, family and anyone who asks.

Wish we could but everything worked so well!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
