"We had a great time despite an error made by our hotel in Dar.
Not Expert Africa's fault. Service from Jessica and her colleagues was great."

"We had an absolutely wonderful time at Impala.
The food was excellent, the service very friendly and accommodating. The camp is right next to the river, and full of wildlife. Boat safari is very convenient and special too.
A winner all around!!!"

Ikuka Safari Camp
"Luxurious with a great view - but one downsid"
4 nights
Arrived
11 Dec 2019
"The camp accommodations are absolutely luxurious and the food was excellent. We enjoyed our guide very much and the service and hostess were wonderful.
The only downside to this camp is its location. Although in some ways the location is fantastic (sunrise over the plains from an elevated position), you are on a high escarpment. It's a long 20-minute drive just to get off the escarpment and into the game area - and that 20 minute drive is repeated 4 times a day."

The 'executive' room was tired; a carbon monoxide or smoke alarm was taped to the ceiling. We could not be accommodated in the restaurant due to a party.
It took 2 hours to get to the hotel through choking traffic."
