"A great holiday to Tanzania"
We have used your expertise for 4 holidays on the trot - and expect to do so in the future. Clearly we are very happy with your service - you provide us with the expertise and very clear information we need. There have been no nasty surprises on any of the holidays because everything has been so thoroughly explained before we go.
On previous trips we have had to contact you whilst on holiday - what a service you provide - everything sorted out efficiently and immediately leaving no hassle for us. We feel absolute confidence in Expert Africa - so we cannot think of anything to improve on what you already do so well!!" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

Unfortunately wild dog were not seen at either park, but they appear to have been seen very rarely.
Forgot to say at Impala the laundry was part of the service. Had to pay for it at Mdonya.
Also the camp company are currently absorbing the increases in the park fees for Selous & Ruaha" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania Trip Sept 6th to 21st"
"A fantastic trip"
There was a stressful interlude involving lost luggage and not having any seats on the Air Mozambique flight, but all in all we couldn't have wished for a better trip. The trip was actually booked with Penny Hooper who we understand has now left. She did a great job of talking through our requirements and was spot on with her recommendations.
We'd book through Expert Africa again." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Mozambique holiday
"A fabulous safari and island holiday"
We couldn't fault any of the locations, nor accommodation.
The service was excellent throughout. The arrangements and schedule worked really well.
Each of the 4 locations offered something different - we wouldn't have changed anything !" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari
"Safari & beach combo"
In the Stone Town make sure you visit Archipelago at lunchtime and Livingstone Beach in the evening.
Coastal Aviation helpfully held the Dar - Selous flight to wait for the delayed BA" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
