My Sep 2010 trip
Tanzania and 1 other country between 22 Sep 2010 and 3 Oct 2010
"I planned it as a trip of a lifetime and thanks to Expert Africa, Claire Scott, and other members of the team so it proved to be just that. Now I have the 'bug' to do another trip.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Just one, a bit nit picking, but your superb wallet would have been even better if it had wrist strap attached as it would save fishing it out of the hand luggage.
This traveller later commented on his guide in Rwanda:
Kamanzi Aloys was great with his knowledge from football, Rwanda history and the local flora & fauna. Plus his driving skills were 1st class if you have experience the roads and the tracks you will understand."

Lake Manze Adventure Camp
"Lake Manze Tented Camp review"

Arrived
28 Sep 2010
"Facilities were very good, food again very good, the idea of having the evening meal all together outside under the stars, with the opportunity of seeing the night roaming animals under the spot light meant the the safari was an on going experience.
The only slight negative was by the 3 day the taste of the water had lost it charm & I switched back to the fresh bottled water.
They are still in the early days of the fishing experience & I have agreed with Richard to send him out some fishing lures."

There was one slight problem for the first day was the length of time the breakfast course took, especially the leaving time of 6.30am, however as soon as they introduced the buffet style breakfast the problem was over come.
Not sure where to include this but Kamanzi Aloys [Ed: our guide for this traveller] was excellent."
