"Unforgettable honeymoon in Tanzania/Zanzibar"
Overall, everything was seamless, from flights to transfers to the lodges / hotels / resorts themselves. For the most part, everyone we interacted with on the trip was warm, friendly, and eager to help.
Olivia was great - from initial enquiry to the final booking, she was responsive and clearly very knowledgeable about travelling to Tanzania. She managed to accommodate and re-work our itinerary/quote a few times as our dates changed due to work obligations, but managed to find something that worked within our budget and timeframe. We booked our external flights ourselves, but only because we had air miles available to utilize.
The trip was a great mix of safari / wildlife, short city break with some history, and beach holiday." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday
"Trip of a lifetime"
We then spent a long time with Richard Trillo and his team discussing options and then left it to him to put together an extended trip to hopefully tick all the boxes on our wish list.
ALL BOXES TICKED, this was a fantastic journey through 5 African countries, we have seen and experienced so much, so a VERY BIG THANK YOU to Expert Africa for arranging this for us.

No, just carry on doing what you're doing now - it would be very hard to improve what you're already doing so well." Read full review: 44 nights in Africa; 17 on a Kenya safari
"Holiday of a lifetime"
The Asila guides - Fazo in particular - are worth their weight in gold to show you a real authentic experience and not a tick-box encounter with animals. We saw so much and learnt so much.
All the accommodation was very good and we particularly liked the more authentic canvas tent experience that Kati Kati gave us as we really felt on safari then. Don't just opt for the big lodges!
Tanzania is so beautiful and the wildlife sublime. I was born there and had never been back but was overwhelmed by the positivity and humour of the Tanzanians.
The holiday exceeded all my expectations as I really felt that we had had a more authentic genuine trip and seen so much. it was very nice to finish down in Selous by the lakes and chill out a bit more while still going on game drives and boat trips.

I think you are all brilliant and don't know how you could improve.
The booking of the flights is complicated and we really appreciated Clare's imput as it is so difficult to understand distances/ times etc.
I have recommended your company to many of my friends - and Fazo our guide who was amazing - so thank you for making this special trip so amazing." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari
"My Jun 2019 trip"
I had intended to do these bookings myself, but it was much easier, and very pleasant, to have Olivia's expertise!

We were very happy to have chosen Expert Africa. I can't make comparative comment about quotations as I didn't seek alternatives.
Likewise the feedback form, as we have no similar experiences to compare. It's certainly long, but I was forewarned by Trip Advisor-type comments!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
"June 2019 in Tanzania"
I've never actually used a "travel agent" before but Expert Africa is different. Olivia was amazing in her suggestions and the itinerary that was planned. She was responsive at all times and connected with us throughout the period leading up to our trip.
Will definitely use Expert Africa again!!!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
"Africa was awesome!"
The itinerary worked very well for us. We were met as we were told we would be - in each place and on time.
The choices of accommodation were spectacular, as was the food and service.
And the animals did not disappoint!

We would highly recommend Expert Africa. Our dealings with Maruska made our life so much better and she put together a marvellous plan." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari
"Our June 2019 trip"
This was our first safari, so we didn't know what to expect on either service or accommodations. We needn't have worried as everything was just super! This will be a hard act to follow for any future agents." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari
"Recommend it to everyone - great trip"
We had a wonderful time - saw lots of animals
Everything set up appropriately for myself and my grand daughter" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Serengeti Infinity"
The brief this time was to experience the calving of the Wildebeest and to see some cats. These boxes were both ticked. I am a keen photographer and would offer this observation. The plains of the Southern Serengeti are so vast that the majority of the time, no matter what lens, my focal point was generally 'infinity'. We have been able to have more intimate sightings in other places.
The trip taught us to never take things for granted. One becomes so use to regular sightings of Elephant in Africa that the paucity on this trip was a surprise and slightly disappointing. I would be interested to know if this was just a seasonal thing or indicative of the areas visited. A definitive answer wasn't really forthcoming at either camp."
