Reviews of safaris to Ruaha National Park
510 holiday reviews from our travellers of holidays which include Ruaha.
"A stunning holiday."
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."

"Could not have had a better first safari!!"
"Great trip to Southern Tanzania !"
"Once in a lifetime experience"
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
