Our honeymoon
Zanzibar between 5 Aug 2008 and 17 Aug 2008
"What I've come to expect from Expert Africa - unbiased and extremely expert knowledge.
Very attentive, and good listeners - based on our interests we got exactyl what we needed. a couple of times they persuaded us to change our ealry thoughts on some places to stay - they proved to be spot on."

Pongwe Beach Hotel
"Pongwe Beach Hotel review"
3 nights
Arrived
10 Aug 2008
"Pongwe has a vey nice feel to it - a very lovely and friendly place.
The service it outstanding - very attentive but relaxed and not in your face, which is just what you want if you are on your honeymoon as we were.
The beach is I think one of the very best on the Island."

Fumba Beach Lodge
"Fumba Beach Lodge review"
3 nights
Arrived
13 Aug 2008
"Fumba offers a real touch of luxury.
One of the special things we enjoyed about it was numeruos little corners and 'hideaways' that allowed us to get away from everybody else (not that there weere many!) at the lodge.
They know how to make honeymooners feel very special. The service was outstanding..."

Beyt al Salaam
"Beyt al Chai review"
2 nights
Arrived
16 Aug 2008
"I was very glad that Expert Africa persuaded us to stay here rather than some of the 'big' name places or hotels. The old style interiors are very warm and authentic - we felt we'd stepped back in time.
Althought close to all the interest in Stone Town we liked the fact that it was in its own sleepy square.."

Shortly after a chef arrived and cooked us a fabulous sea food meal - perhaps the best we had anywhere on the island. From the lovely roof top terrace watched the comings and goings. This is perhaps the nearest we'll get to being treated like the rich and famous without needing to break the bank.
Highly recommended."
