Zanzibar: reviews from our travellers

"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

"This was our first trip to Africa (and Tanzania of course) and we loved it.

The highlight was the Safari which was excellent thanks to the camp and our guide." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari

"A great trip and a brilliant introduction to safari – we’re hooked!!" Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"Overall this 'holiday of a lifetime' as we had been describing it to friends prior to going, turned out to be just that. It had so many 'best moments' and highlights, that we've totally lost count. Life doesn't really offer many surprises but stumbling across a leopard after a kill, a bull elephant eating breakfast, a herd of zebra and wildebeest on the move, or a reef shark going about its daily life really are thrilling sights never to be forgotten. It was a holiday of incredible contrasts. From safari, to a bustling city, to a castaway coral island and ending with such luxury. What a heavenly cocktail and all thanks to Maruska and Expert Africa who certainly live up to their name." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"We had a fantastic trip, and appreciated the time you took to make sure it would work for all of us, from ages 7 to 77!

The process of deciding upon itinerary (places, lodging, timing) involved very productive discussions to arrive at a great trip. The 15 days with Anaphi Anafi demonstrated that our desires were listened to, and we had a truly great and effective guide.

Thank you so much for everything.

"Another great trip, thank you very much. I am mostly clear about what sort of trip I am after but find it very useful to be able to bounce ideas and get further information and guidance from Expert Africa.

I greatly appreciate the end to end service that Expert Africa provides, which takes away any little worries concerning travel arrangements.

The 'meet and greet' service and the use of a hotel room between flight connections is a particularly welcome feature." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"We had the absolutely best time. Expert Africa help create an unforgettable trip for us both, it is quite expensive but you definitely get what you pay for. All flights and transfers went smoothly. Safari and Lamai in particular were the standout highlights. The quality of game viewing in the Serengeti was excellent. Tanzania as a country is beautiful and we found the locals all very friendly. Our safari guides were excellent and really added to the experience. This was easily the best holiday we have been on and really would love to go back to Tanzania. We probably wouldn't do Zanzibar again but focus more on safari. Thank you to everyone who made this a truly incredible experience." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
