Reviews of holidays to Northern Zanzibar

"We had a really great and relaxing holiday.

All the hotels and actives were well chosen for us. All our transfers worked very well.

Needed some advice from James about how much cash to take-and got it just right-thank you.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

May be worth adding in the information booklet that only need to pay departure tax for international flights from Zanzibar - but not from Dar

"Our trip was simply amazing, eye-opening, educational, diverse, fun and everything you would expect from visiting one of the most culture-rich countries in the world! A trip we will simply never forget.

It's going to be hard finding holidays to beat this one!

"The entire experience from start to finish was best in class. We truly had a once in life time experience and we are so happy we chose to work with Expert Africa.

I would strongly urge anyone thinking of going to Africa to work with you guys. The reviews we had read to help us decide and plan were all accurate which is alway a bonus as well.

If I had to do it all over again, there are minor ( and I mean minor) things I would have changed. The first day was an extremely long day of travel. After 21hrs of traveling we were a bit surprised by a four hour drive until we got to our hotel. We certainly sucked it up and at the end of the day it was fine but I may have opted to stay a bit closer.

I may have also done one less day of selous. Not sure if it was our location, luck or combination of the two but we we could have done one less day there. Again, this is being super nit picky it really was amazing.

My only suggestions is a bit more detail around the flights and the distances of the transfers." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"A really good trip.

Very glad we spent more time at the beach than Stone Town though. Great to have visited Zanzibar and i would certainly recommend the island - but some travellers might find the poverty in Stone Town a little surprising at first.

Would certainly return - though would want to visit Pemba and get to some of the more remote beaches." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"It was wonderful! Every bit as fabulous as we had hoped and exactly what you would want your honeymoon to be.

The whole trip, considering we stayed in three different locations, across two different countries was brilliant. No delays or disruption to our travelling, lovely hotels and resorts and a lovely, warm welcome from Tanzania and Zanzibar.

Would definitely recommend to others!

Not really - may be a follow up call before receiving this form would have been nice but other than that, all good!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"A perfect holiday and honeymoon from start to finish. Would highly struggle to find any concerns.

Great support and recommendations from Expert Africa; a perfect experience on safari at Beho Beho and paradise at Kilindi. Thanks to all who made this a once in a lifetime holiday for my wife and I." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 4 on a Tanzania safari

"The service and advice given by Ellie at Expert Africa has been superb, far above our expectations. This meant we had the trip of a lifetime, a honeymoon to remember.

We had thought that doing one safari would be enough - we were wrong!! We now have to start saving for our next one!!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We had a wonderful honeymoon - Tanzania provided the perfect destination and we were very happy with our itinerary, which was a perfect mix of safari and beach.

All our accommodation was luxurious, but Sand Rivers stood out as exceptional." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
