Comments on our trip
Tanzania between 3 Jul 2008 and 12 Jul 2008
"Overall this was one of the best vacations I have ever had.
No major complaints.
The ExpertAfrica staff was a pleasure. Ellie provided recommendations and booked a great trip.
While she was out of the office, Ann Lederman helped with some last minute details. Then, when our flights were screwed up and we arrived in Dar a day late, Ann re-worked our itinerary quickly and saved the trip!"

"Selous Safari Camp review"
3 nights
Arrived
5 Jul 2008
"The rooms were very nice and our view of the lake (and afternoon visits from an elephant) really set the scene nicely.
The food was hit-and-miss. Simple dishes were prepared well and tasted great but sometimes I wonder if the kitchen got a little too adventurous (moussaka on a particularly hot afternoon in Africa seemed an odd choice). The service was excellent.
The game viewing was great and fly-camping was one of the best experiences we had. Boat trips on the lake were a nice opportunity to see birds, crocs, and hippos up close."

Selous Safari Camp Fly-camping, Tanzania (this camp has since closed)
"Selous Safari Camp Fly-camping review"
1 night
Arrived
8 Jul 2008
"A highlight of the trip. Mark, our guide, was great. The camp site was more luxurious than we could have imagined - while still giving us a real feeling of being "out there". Seeing the game on foot gave us much more respect - elephants sure seem bigger when you aren't in a 4x4"

Echo Beach Hotel, Zanzibar (this camp has since closed)
"Echo Beach Hotel review"
3 nights
Arrived
9 Jul 2008
"The pool/beach is paradise, just an incredibly beautiful setting. The service was great. The food, delicious. The only negative, and this was hardly a negative, was that the room always felt damp and smelled a little musty."

Best food we ate on our trip - and meals that were comparable to any great restaurant in New York (the highest complement this New York foodie can give).
Beautiful accomodations. Excellent service. This place really stood out!"
