"The first time to Tanzania"
We wanted to go to Tanzania where we had never been before because of the rainy seasons. It was difficult to find a good destination in january/february.
Claire was a good help and after some phonecalls, with the brochure on both sides of the telephone (Holland-England) we made a wonderful itinerary together.
Maybe next time we could combine the Southern part of the Serengeti with Selous at this time of the year.

Filling in the feedbackform is very time-consuming because we are invited to give "real" feedback, which goes back to the camps and on the internet. (and English is not my home-language)
On the other hand the reviews of other guests helped us to make up our mind. So, after all, don´t change it" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

Paypal please for Noth American travellers.
Paying for alcohol & juice is annoying/inconvenient - when you are getting up early & going `till late, is anyone really going to abuse the bar? So, offer the option to prepay/include drinks.

"Unforgetable introduction to safari holidays"
The animals were very co-operative often at very close quarters especially in presenting their young and often in rare situations e.g. a pride of lions with three very young cubs, a cheetah chasing impala and in turn being chased by baboons, a week old elephants being carried across a lake and giraffes fighting.

Although it turned out that we did have sufficient, we would have appreciated a little bit more guidance on how much money to take with us." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"21 Days in Tanzania and Victoria Falls"
Expert Africa provided excellent seemless and timely pickup and drop-off services from the moment we landed in Africa. With this service, my daughter and I felt very safe; and it also made the trip that much more fun. Eleanor Dunkels did a great job from the time of preparation, advising us what to bring with us and where to go, catering to our requirements.

"Perfect trip"
Only possible comment is .. dont expect large herds of anything and the animals are rather difficult to spot .... but we never saw another vehicle .. so that was great.
