My Sep 2015 trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 17 Sep 2015 and 1 Oct 2015
"We are well travelled and enjoy staying in quality accommodation. We have been on two safaris in the past but this is the first time we have booked through Expert Africa. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company to friends and family. We had a fantastic holiday thanks to the advice given to us by Claire who put together a first class itinerary.
We were not aware of the strong tipping culture in Tanzania and would have appreciated this being pointed out to us.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It seems Expert Africa are worthy of their name!"

Singita Mara River Tented Camp
"Singita Mara River Tented Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
22 Sep 2015
"We loved the remote location of this camp where we enjoyed exciting game drives and witnessed three river crossings.
The accommodation was very comfortable with all of the amenities (barring a TV!) of a luxury hotel room."

Ngorongoro Crater Lodge
"Ngorongoro Crater Lodge review"
2 nights
Arrived
25 Sep 2015
"An amazing location. We were disappointed with the room which was dark and cold until the log fire was lit each evening while we at dinner. The balcony didn't appear to be appropriately maintained.
The staff were pleasant and attentive but the tipping culture felt too overt.
To balance our review I did receive a very special birthday cake and enjoyed listening to the choir which was a generous and thoughtful touch."
