Travel reviews by Mrs H & family from London

"WOW! What a magical experience for us all. We travelled to Selous with our three children aged 8, 11 and 15 and are all agreed it was a very memorable holiday indeed!

The camp is great we were made to feel extremely welcome and Barbara organised for us to dine an hour earlier as our youngest was very tired come early evening. The family tents were comfortable and well situated for watching activity down by the river and we were lucky enough to have a family of elephants spend a day and night eating their way through the trees in front of our tent.

We saw all that we wanted and more. My son was lucky enough to see a leopard but unfortunately the rest of us did not spot it before it vanished. Our guide MPogo was wonderful. He looked after us very well and was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and Selous. We very much enjoyed the bush breakfasts and would not have missed these for the world.

We then continued our holiday in Zanzibar at Unguja Lodge which was equally magical. We left Zanzibar the day of the Nairobi airport fire and cannot praise Expert Africa, in particular Liz Woollen, enough for her efficiency and help in getting us back to the UK via Egypt - in as painless a way as possible."

"We finished our safari with 8 nights at Unguja lodge where we were looked after very well by Elies and Ralph along with their friendly and helpful staff. The village tour with Rashid was excellent and he has made it his own and honoured us with a visit to his own house and family.

For a truly relaxing time after a safari it would be difficult to beat Unguja Lodge. The food is excellent and our compliments to the house chef. Our family enjoyed beach combing when the tide was out and my son had his first scuba dive with Nick. All in all we had a fantastic time here."
