"Tanzania southern circuit"
I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 28 Jul 2011 and 14 Aug 2011
"Great trip - went perfectly to plan (apart from trying to enter Ruha on August 1st - I will provide separate commentary about this).
Accomodation and transfers could not be faulted. Staff throughout very very good, and invariably excellent. We felt each of the lodges went out of their to make a stay special.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
It seems worth keepng an eye on the Authorities in Tanzania. Politically there are issues and undercurrents that, on this occasion, broke the surface.
Just as an aside: having gone to trouble of getting Visas in advance, immigration managed to to process none Visa holders more quickly that us: management of arrivals hall was rather desperate." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday

"A fantastic honeymoon we didn't want to end!"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 25 Jul 2011 and 12 Aug 2011
"We really enjoyed doing the relaxing part of our honeymoon on the beach at Zanzibar first, and would definitely recommend this order to stressed wedding planners! It also gives us time to reflect on the wedding day itself before starting on a more active safari. Equally we loved finishing the holiday at the more luxurious of the camps.
On reflection, 2 nights in Stone Town was probably a little long for us as we enjoyed the other elements of the trip significantly more. All transfers worked smoothly, with clean, comfortable vehicles, and friendly drivers.
Thank you very much for organising such a wonderful honeymoon, we will definitely recommend you to any friends and family planning a trip to Africa.

A final payment reminder for honeymooners would be very helpful as you have so much else to be organising at the same time! Liz was very good at letting us know when monies had been received and sending quotations etc. Thanks!" Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"A fantastic holiday with amazing experiences"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 12 Jul 2011 and 26 Jul 2011
"This holiday was truly a most memorable experience. The advise given by Expert Africa was invaluable & led us to chose a holiday that really reflected what we had envisaged. Each location was perfect, the accomodation excellent & the people involved charming.
The booking was handled extremely effeciently (and we like the little touches such as the travel wallet, which was very useful!) We would not hesitate to recommend Expert Africa & would certainly consider your services for another trip at some point in the future.
Many thanks to all concerned for delivering as promised!
