Tau Pan Camp
"Tau Pan Camp review"
A brilliant trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 3 Jan 2016 and 15 Jan 2016
Absolutely everything went according to plan (unbelievable for Africa!) and apart from the problems we raised about the hotel in Dar we couldn't have asked for better.
Fantastic, thank you!"

Mountain Gorilla View Lodge
"Good lodge, convenient for the park."
Our only 2 criticisms were the poor lighting in the room and also the lack of safe - having to leave electronic gear in envelopes at the office was a bit of a pain! The boot cleaning service was absolutely amazing (still don't know how they could do such a good job in such a short space of time).
It's position only 15 minutes from the park HQ was great."
Lake Manze Adventure Camp
"Wonderful experience."
The game viewing was excellent both on land and water. The number of animals that wandered through the camp was fantastic.
The food was good, wine choice and price also good and laundry brilliant!"
My Sep 2007 trip
Namibia and 2 other countries between 19 Sep 2007 and 18 Oct 2007
Only during the last couple of days of the holiday did I notice that mobile and home numbers are provided for Expert Africa staff - amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much."

Brigadoon
"Brigadoon review"
The mini 4x4 tour to Sandwich Harbour (run by the guy that owns the ballooning operation in Soussevlei) was great fun."
Doro Nawas
"Doro Nawas review"
We went on our own to the rock art site - very interesting - but the petrified forest was not worth the minor diversion"
Epacha Game Lodge, Namibia (this camp has since closed)
"Epacha Game Lodge review"
We were advised not to bother with the night game drive as we were unlikely to see anything. On the morning drive we saw very little."

Halali Camp
"Halali Restcamp review"
Didn't take advantage of the night or salt-pan drives; watering hole was fantastic.
Swimming pool was still being refurbished."
Okonjima Plains Camp
"Okonjima Main Camp review"
Dinner arrangements were not properly explained, hence we held everybody up.
Activities : leopard tracking was too artificial and we felt as though we were crowding the poor beast when we eventually tracked it down. The Wild Dog and Cheetah experience the following morning would have been interesting, as opposed to depressing, if we'ld have had chance to read all the background material first.
Perhaps if we had come here before Etosha, etc. we might have felt a bit more positive."
Olive Grove
"Olive Grove review"
Embarassingly we realised when we got to the airport that none of us had left the staff tip - many apologies."

"Bazaruto Lodge review"
Just need to offer drinkable wine by the glass as opposed to paint stripper!"
