Northern Circuit 2016
Tanzania between 25 Jan 2016 and 2 Feb 2016
"Huge thank you to James for sorting out our trip within such a short time-frame. He was extremely helpful, down to earth and responsive, and really went all out to accommodate our last minute requirements.
We had an unforgettable trip and would definitely recommend Expert Africa to friends. Also a big thank you to the various people who helped to reunite me with the things I left at Oliver's Camp - everybody went above and beyond and I am extremely grateful."

Plantation Lodge
"Plantation Lodge"
2 nights
Arrived
27 Jan 2016
"Plantation Lodge was our least favourite stop-off.
The setting is nice, the rooms are clean and the veranda is a good place for a gin & tonic at the end of a long day. However, the food was extremely disappointing and the dining area and main areas on the whole lack any atmosphere. I think they could do a lot more with this place."

Olakira
"Such a memorable stay at Olakira Mara"
2 nights
Arrived
29 Jan 2016
"Olakira was a personal favourite!
The staff here are wonderful, the food is great and the atmosphere is friendly and relaxed. The tented camps are extremely authentic and a hot water bottle in the bed is a lovely touch!
Plus a fantastic view of the sunrise. We had a brilliant time."

Sayari Camp
"Luxury safari at its best!"
2 nights
Arrived
31 Jan 2016
"Sayari is a really special place.
It's extremely luxurious, but without being garish or over-the-top. The tents are amazing, the pool area is fantastic and the map room is a really cool addition. The food was lovely and Annabel packed us a cheese box every day, which was much appreciated!
We would definitely recommend this camp."

Our tent was great and the outside showers are a lovely touch. The decking area for pre-dinner drinks and the camp fire area are both fantastic and the food here was excellent.
If I was being really picky I'd say that the lunch boxes could be a little more imaginative, but overall definitely no complaints."
