Serengeti Migration Area

The Serengeti is one of Africa’s most captivating safari areas.

Watch out for Leopards lazily laying on trees...

...or spot some giraffes on the wide, open plains.

...constantly moving in a huge loop, following the rains to find the replenished grasses.

"Migration on the hoof - and a very large fish"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 23 Feb 2015 and 9 Mar 2015
"We had wanted to visit Western Serengeti and Lake Victoria for many years and they did not disappoint.

The migration wasn't where it was supposed to be but we still saw it. Rubondo island is very different but we highly recommend it. Cheetahs abounded in southern Serengeti.

Travellers to Tanzania should be aware that all timings of Coastal flights are subject to change and that lodges should be asked to check them for you - every one of ours was changed. Also that if flying from Nairobi your point of immigration may be different from that on your ticket - we were told Tarime but ended up going through Musoma.

Thanks Ellie - you will not be surprised that we have ideas for our next trip!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

All staff are always friendly and helpful even though we are, to quote Chris 'particular' about our travels. However that means we have always had wonderful trips and is why we keep coming back again, and again, and again!

For first-time Africa travellers more information on the vagaries of internal flights might have been helpful." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"My Feb 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 11 Feb 2015 and 6 Mar 2015
"This was yet another excellent safari/holiday created by Expert Africa, each one just gets better than the one before.

We arranged a private guide and vehicle for these travellers, they commented:

Sadiq was an excellent and professional guide, he established what our expectations were and tried throughout the trip to accommodate our wishes. He is obviously an experienced guide of many years and knew the locations we visited well. He was also knowledgeable about the needs of a photographer and manoeuvred the vehicle to obtain the best photographic positions.

We could not have wished for a better guide - Thank you Sadiq

"Northern Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 8 Feb 2015 and 21 Feb 2015
"We had been to Selous and Ruaha before and wanted to experience some of the Northern safari parks including Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti.

Staying at Ubuntu camp and driving around the Ndutu plains and seeing zebra and wildebeest assembling at the start of the migration certainly gave us an idea of what was about to happen. We had excellent sightings of cheetah and lion.

Our trip into the Crater was absolutely wonderful - what a magnificent place. Juma - our driver did an excellent job of avoiding sightings alongside an excess of vehicles so that we were barely aware of other vehicles in the park. However, we were not short changed with what we saw.

Expert Africa organised a private guide for these travellers; they commented:

Juma was our driver guide for 7 days and accommodated our requirements very well. We had not visited this part of Tanzania before and were happy to be advised by him to ensure that we got the best out of our trip.

We have visited Africa on many trips previously, but found that his knowledge and experience and ability to locate birds and beasts was awesome! He knew the geography of the Ndutu plains very well and could navigate the featureless plains without a hitch.

Very well organised and works exactly as planned." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"Another great trip"

I visited Tanzania between 8 Feb 2015 and 19 Feb 2015
"Great Trip - with help from Expert Africa we managed to avoid the hoards of vehicles in Serengeti and find the sort of tented camps I like best and the return to Ruaha is always a great way to end a safari.

I still feel the guiding at Kwihala is streets ahead of other camps which were good nevertheless" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Our February 2015 Trip to Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 31 Jan 2015 and 10 Feb 2015
"Our trip advisor, Liz, was very helpful answering all our questions and pulling the entire trip together for us. She was able to troubleshoot quickly when our planned lodge had a fire and closed. Because we were enroute she made changes to our itinerary and flights which met our needs.

We were very please she booked us with ASILIA. This subcontrator was excellent. The ASIILIA lodge we stayed at was excellent and the guide throughout our trip first class. Alfred, our guide, was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We hated to say good-bye to him. Had we realized how great asilia was we would have stayed at more of their lodges.

We had an excellent trip to Tanzania thanks to Liz, Alfred and all the others behind the scenes.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

We became familiar with your company through your travel books and website. We are glad we made the choice to travel with you. Continue to visit Africa and assess places thoroughly before making recommendations- this helps to ensure a quality trip.

We wish you continued success with your company and would not hesitate to recommend you to others." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Our 4 centre January N Tanzania safari"

I visited Tanzania between 17 Jan 2015 and 28 Jan 2015
"A "very satisfactory" rating does not do justice to this superb 10 night, 4 centre Northern Tanzania safari put together with suggestions from helpful Expert Africa staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience which was so different to previous and equally superb Expert Africa holidays in Botswana and Namibia and our own explorations of South Africa some years ago. We would recommend this time of year for such a safari, as there were no more than a handful of vehicles around the parks within eyesight at any one time, and even in the Ngorongoro Crater we were pleasantly surprised to be able to find our way to parts where we were totally on our own.

The trip was all the better for having the consistency of our superbly professional guide, Ayoub, for 7 nights in 3 camps. On our departure, he asked us to be ambassadors for Tanzania and spread the word what delights the country has to offer as a safari destination. We could not agree more and would recommend this circuit to anybody who likes to explore Africa either for the first time or for a return visit."

"My Jan 2015 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 10 Jan 2015 and 25 Jan 2015
"Our trip as a whole was superb, with some unbelievably fantastic animal sightings ! We saw all the things we had hoped to see, such as the jackals killing the baby impala, the tree lions and elephant encounter, the vast numbers of wildebeest plus much, much more. We had some stunning sightings of birds, e.g. a Kori Bustard displaying.

Another bonus was the glorious view of Kilimanjaro at Tortilis Camp.

All the places we visited offered something different making our trip interesting and unpredictable as regards the animals.
We also met some wonderful people at each of the Camps/Lodges and our guides were superb and extremely knowledgeable.

Our trip was superb, fulfilled everything we had wanted and has given us some fantastic memories with over a 1000 photos. This was undeniably a trip of a lifetime !" Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
