Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"Additional Feedback - Patrick our guide was wonderful sometimes his timekeeping was slightly off but he excelled in everything else, the roads through Rwanda were sometimes very poor especially from Nyungwe to Lake Kivu however it was so scenic. he was so knowledgeable and catered to our whims especially with the gorillas,

We have already recommended Expert Africa to so many people after this trip for both the advisory service before and the quality of the holiday. We had the most wonderful holiday surpassing all our expectations. Thank you so much for arranging it.

It is really difficult to come up with anything substantial.
Information on the camps is comprehensive but maybe a little more about the types of animals which can be encountered and the environment and terrain as well as camp facilities,but this is a small point." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Everything worked like clockwork.

We had good flights and the accommodation at Sand Rivers was excellent, particularly when you think how far from civilization we were. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and produced good food. On our safari rides we saw a wide variety of animals, including a leopard, crocodiles, two prides of lions, a herd of buffalo, hippos out of the water, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, elephants, warthogs and many more.

We also saw a wide variety of birds, including Goliath herons, Marabu storks, spoon bills, fish eagles, pelicans and many small birds. We had two trips on the Ruffiji river where we came into close contact with hippos and crocs and had sundowners on the shore at sun set which was magical.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and was willing to spend as much time as we asked at various viewing points. We can strongly recommend leaving the Camp very early and having breakfast on safari.

"It was our first safari and was an amazing experience. We particulary enjoyed the wildlife but also the accommodation and the food as well as the people we met. It was also great to be able to combine a safari with being by the sea and visiting Zanzibar.

Many thanks for a great trip!

Nothing apart from improving the service at the Swahili House." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Despite some of the slightly negative criticisms on the earlier pages we had an excellent holiday. All connections etc worked well, we saw loads of game and birds - which was why we went.

I believe we picked the right game parks - plenty of game but fewer people, which, again, was what we wanted.

Thanks to Expert Africa for helping to make it happen!

Can't think of anything. We were pleased with the service and information provided.

I've mentioned it before, and I wouldn't want to give the impression that these detracted signicantly from our enjoyment but tetses in Mdonya and the non-availability of walking safaris in Mdonya were slight "hiccups".

Thanks to Liz for all your help." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Wonderful trip, nice combination of wild life, beach and culture. The trip organization was perfect and everything worked out very smoothly.

I will not hesitate to book another trip with Expert Africa and I will highly recommend them to my friends.

We would love to see Madagascar added to your portfolio!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"We really enjoyed the trip - Our fourth visit to Africa and we wondered beforehand whether it could match previous trips - It certainly did.

The contrast between the two parks was stunning and the camps, although quite different in style, had the common thread that the guiding was brilliant.

Perhaps more explanation as to why the specific itineraries have been put together - e.g. Grant's Gazelle programme" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"We enjoyed our trip immensely, the safari was the highlight, but the beach lodge on Zanzibar was a wonderful oasis and place to recharge and relax.

Expert Africa again put together a great trip for us!

"This was one of our best African holidays.

Careful planning (thanks to Liz) meant we got exactly the kind of camps and experiences we prefer. Most of the time we had a guide to ourselves - always a bonus!

It is hard to think that we can better this - but I am sure we will try. I am reliving our wonderful holiday completing this feedback

"We had a fantastic trip and were very happy with the advice given by Expert Africa and the way the trip was put together.
All the lodges and hotels were excellent.

All ground transfers and domestic flights worked really well (however, in DAR the car did not have functioning seat belts)
The information material provided was very useful.

We will definitely recommend Expert Africa to our friends and hope to travel with you again one day.
