"Northern Tanzania Safari"
Credit to Expert Africa for organising such a lovely trip for us." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
"Excellent trip, well organized, great guide"
We thought all our lodges and camps were fine. Tarangire Safari Lodge was our overall favorite with great location and comfortable basic room. Nomad Serengeti Camp was the best camp, but also quite expensive. You do get great service for the money.
Animals and a sense of central Africa are why we went. Our hopes were well met. Every day was a new adventure.
There were no logistical problems, everything happened as planned. We simply had to be ready to get up and going early every day to see as much as we could.
Thanks for arranging such a great trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: One suggestion about dinners. Only Nomad Serengeti Camp offered a communal dining table for dinner. We would have like that option at every camp. Our fellow travelers seemed to be a folks we would have like to get to know a bit better." Read full review: 21 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"Fantastic trip"
Our guide Baraza, was brilliant, extremely knowledgeable, professional and hard-working throughout our 10 days on safari." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania 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.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
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

Too short in retrospect.
Albert Lucas the guide was fantastic." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari
"A Fantastic Vacation!"
The highlight was our time spent at Kichaka in Ruaha, since walking safaris are our favorite activity. Owner/Guide Andrew Molinare (Moli) gets rave reviews, and deserves every one of them.
We visited 5 parks and camps, with significant travel distances involved. Expert Africa did a fantastic job coordinating all the internal flights with Coastal Aviation, and everything went extremely smoothly." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 18 on a Tanzania safari
