A wonderful holiday

Tanzania and 1 other country between 31 Jan 2009 and 13 Feb 2009

Trip rating: Excellent
"It was a wonderful holiday.

We were very happy with all the places we went to and felt that Expertafrica had found places that really suited us. Everything worked like clockwork until the last flight home. We would (and did) recommend your company to other people and if we do another trip to Africa would certainly consult you.

Suggestions for improvement:

Can't think of any!"

"Wonderful stay at Beho Beho safari lodge"

4 nights Arrived 1 Feb 2009
"The whole experience was wonderful. The accommodation was excellent, everything had been thought of such as mosquito repellent, a torch for the evenings, a complimentary kanga for the pool, washing powder for the ladies to wash their smalls.
The food was excellent and we particularly enjoyed their custom of laying lunch and dinner at a different place for each meal with different table settings.

We thought the guiding was very good indeed (although we had nothing to compare it with) and were pleased to be there for Sean and Kim Lues' last week there - they have now moved to Dar - they were delightful and extremely knowledgeable hosts. We also thoroughly enjoyed the other 3 guides too. Their knowledge seemed limitless.

We were lucky to be the only guests for the first 3 nights - very spoiling."

"Fly-camping at Beho Beho"

1 night Arrived 5 Feb 2009
"It was a great experience - the Beho Beho touch was there too with candles and tea lights everywhere, a torch, whistle for emergencies and the table beautifully laid with an excellent dinner.

We did a walking safari the next morning before returning to the camp for a cooked breakfast and again we enjoyed being on our own with Sean and Kim."

"Beach life at Pole Pole"

5 nights Arrived 7 Feb 2009
"Pole Pole was a treat - we loved the fact that it had only 7 rooms and hope it never expands - that would change it completely.

The person who ran it had disappeared 3 weeks before so we had a stand in manager, Gabrielle. She was wonderful - and couldn't have done more for us. It was beautifully run with every comfort and attention to detail. If you were looking only for lazy days at the hotel then the beach was a little bit disappointing - at low tide one would have to walk 10 minutes round the point for a swim. We didn't really mind - we got into the habit of a daily snorkelling trip by boat. The extra activities were expensive - the $ exchange rate didn't help but as the isalnd is small, $60 pp for a trip and picnic to another island or beach seemed quite a lot.

Having said that, the whole experience was wonderful, the food excellent and we loved being there."

"Short stay at the Serena Inn"

2 nights Arrived 12 Feb 2009
"We were given a poor room on arrivel = tiny twin bedded room at the top with a small window but they found a better one for us eventually.

It was a good place to explore Stonetown, very central, and we enjoyed having the pool to cool off."
