Tanzania: reviews from our travellers

"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!

"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 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.

"We had a truly wonderful time. We loved everywhere we stayed and were grateful that we had been guided to just the kind of places we liked.

Quite a few of the people we met were 'old safari hands' and without exception, they said that we could not have chosen better places to visit for our first trip to Tanzania, to get a slice of the 'real' safari experience.

Probably one of the most efficient and easy holiday companies we have dealt with. We had left things to the very last minute and despite this, the team was unfazed and helpful.

Would definitely use Expert Africa again. Also competitively priced." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"The safari element of the holiday was great and with only the problem of the delay with the plane at the start - out of Expert Africa's control - to take the edge of a really good experience. Beho beho was excellent.

Matemwe bungalows were a little disappointing - not as smart as it looked! The location wasn't great as it has a beach with a reef and for most of the day you cannot swim - it would have been nice to have had a beach in the resort so you could walk in for a swim - this is probably the same for all of the resorts on the east coast. Maybe this is common knowledge but not to us.

A good service with all transport and guides as arranged" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"The trip itself was fantastic. Maybe we should have stayed an extra night in the selous in order to stay at a different camp. The selous safari camp was the only one to offer single night accomodation.

We found the advice and assistance of Ellie in planning our holiday most helpful and informative. She was also very patient with us!
