Wonderful African safari
Tanzania between 21 Sep 2010 and 1 Oct 2010
"From the moment of contacting Expert Africa we felt in very good hands, Ellie was wonderful and sorted out the perfect safari holiday for us. Her recommendations turned out to be the perfect combination and we are still 'coming down' from the whole experience.
For us Africa is a magical place, and the whole tented safari experience exceeded our expectations totally. We will be back to talk to you again! Thank you.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Can't think of anything that would make you any better!"

Lake Manze Adventure Camp
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"
4 nights
Arrived
26 Sep 2010
"A fantastic location by the lake, an almost total contrast to Mdonya.
We loved our stay here and the variety of activities on offer was excellent. Our guide, Nukumah, and driver, Ally, were tremendous - great company and so anxious to find any animals we were keen to see. The organisation of the camp was excellent and we have absolutely no complaints, but, for us, the atmosphere was somewhat more organised and timekeeping seemed more important.
There wasn't the same flexibility we had enjoyed previously. Having said this, we had fantastic game viewings and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves."

"An excellent business hotel, ideal for an overnight stop before an early flight.
Comfortable, well appointed room, excellent breakfast. Evening meal was first class and very reasonable, as was the wine."

Having had a wonderful game drive from the airport to the camp, including a lovely lunch and impromptu dash to see our first two leopards, we were quite late arriving at the camp, but were welcomed so warmly by Alex and Nicole and made to feel at home immediately. This was the feeling throughout our stay, nothing was too much trouble, the atmosphere was delightfully informal and friendly. Drinks around the campfire, and suppers all together created a lovely ambience to exchange views on our days experiences. Everyone was so flexible and we never felt there were any time constraints on our drives.
Our guide, Zac, and driver were excellent and put themselves out to find wonderful sightings for us. The tents were lovely and comfortable and private, food was excellent, Alex and Nicole fantastic hosts and always ready with any information we needed."
