Zanzibar: reviews from our travellers

"I honestly never use travel agents as I am in the travel industry myself and love to plan things on my own but I am converted.

Expert Africa made this sooooooo easy. We never felt like we were on the back foot.

Drivers were at the airport to pick us up on time, same with the lodges.

Thank you all! All was wonderful." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We had a wonderful holiday! I highly recommend all of the Asilia camps we visited due to their high quality of guides and staff, facilities and food. White Sands Villas was a delightful splurge.

"Our trip was great!

Start to finish, everything was well taken care of.

Parita was great in understanding what I wanted and not just giving me what others suggested.

Everything was great! Would travel with you all again." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 8 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We had an amazing trip - thank you.

We would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa to freinds, and would wholeheatedly recommend any of the places we stayed at: Gran Melia in Arusha, Lemala Nanyukie, The Highlands and Zuri Zanzibar" Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Hands down, this was a trip of a lifetime.

All questions our entire group had were answered promptly and with utmost details by Ms. Masani at Expert Africa.

We were taken care of by various teams engaged through Expert Africa everywhere we went, thanks to detailed planning and coordination that must have happened by her." Read full review: 4 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zanzibar holiday

"I had a beautiful and very well organised holiday.

Everything went smoothly, and when I wanted to extend my stay at Pongwe and cancel Stone Town, Tam (travelling!) and Jessica were extremely helpful and highly efficient.

Thank you!" Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 5 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was our first safari, and overall the trip exceeded expectations. Jessica really took the time to understand the kind of thing we were looking for and her recommendations and advice were spot on.

It was nice to bump into Chris (the boss) on our trip - once on one of the flights and again at Mdonya. He's clearly extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all things safari.

We loved the two camps, and it was great to visit two different areas as the experience was different at each. In particular we loved the fact that both parks were relatively quiet and on the game drives we rarely saw other people.

We expected both of the camps to be quite basic in terms of facilities, but we felt really spoilt at both, the tents were lovely and the food was excellent. Probably because of this, the time in Zanzibar, which we were anticipating being a bit of luxury at the end, fell a bit short in comparison (although Jessica's first recommendation wasn't available).

Overall, I'd highly recommend Expert Africa and we hope to be able to book another trip with them one day!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Jessica helped my husband and I plan our first trip to Africa in celebration of our wedding anniversary. She provided great guidance and suggested a trip itinerary to Tanzania and Zanzibar that fit our desires and budget.

We were so impressed that every detail was executed on the ground perfectly. Our transfers, meet and greets, and local flights were exactly as described in our itinerary.

This was a trip of a lifetime for us and Tanzania has forever changed our hearts and lives forever.

Thank you, Jessica!" Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 5 on a Tanzania safari
