"Wonderful southern Tanzania safari trip"
We haven't been to northern Tanzania but understand that southern Tanzania, Ruaha in particular, is an unknown gem.
Olivia did a really excellent job of arranging our holiday, patiently juggling arrangements to suit and answering all my questions. All the arrangements worked perfectly. There was always someone to meet us at the correct time and place. We would most definitely recommend Expert Africa and consider using them again for another holiday to Africa."

"Well organised, well balanced trip"
Two parks provided great mix of scenery and wildlife. Two camps were of very high all round standrad.
Staff were uniformly friendly, professional and helpful; guides at both camps were energetic and enthusiastic and made the trip (shout out to Godfrey at Sand Rivers and Geofrey at Ikuka)." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"Our 5th safari"
A traveler should keep in mind that animals move about and you can't be assured of finding everything in one area. On this trip, we traveled to the eastern Serengeti and to Ruaha and the Selous in the south in order to find a variety -- more lions in one area, more elephants in another, for example. We had excellent sightings in each area." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanzania 2019 review"
"My Sep 2019 trip"
All travel arrangements worked well. Unfortunately we have serious concerns about the quality of the staff we dealt with in Expert Africa in terms to their attention to detail and customer communication skills. I will be sending a separate email to the Managing Director on these aspects.
