"Summary of Trip to Tanzania"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 15 Sep 2010 and 26 Sep 2010
"Couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon.
Location, food and service was truely amazing (you definately get what you pay for) and the ease of transfers was great. Expert Africa were fantastic and spent a lot of time discussing what we were looking for which helped greatly in our decision on which country and locations to go to.
Claire also was not pushy when I advised her that I was going to book the flights myself and was also very comforting when I was worried about the BA strikes. Thank you so much. Only improvement could be the price

"We finally made it to Selous!"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2010 and 5 Sep 2010
"We have been working on this trip for years - and it lived up to every expectation. Great variety of accommodation, excellent game viewing and a bit of swimming at the end. We have already discussed the possibility of going back.
Thank you to all at Expert Africa who have had input to this over the years - Chris, Claire, Penny, Liz and Ellie.

"A wonderful holiday"
I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 12 Aug 2010 and 22 Aug 2010
"We had a truly wonderful holiday. The advice that we received from Ellie Dunkels was exceptional. The places that she recommended to us were so "right" it was almost as if she knew us personally. Liz Wollen helped us closer to the time of departure and was very helpful and accommodating as our plans changed.
Tanzania itself was wonderful. The people we met were charming and gracious, the countryside, animals, birds, sea and fish were breathtaking and Stone Town was a fascinating place to end a memorable holiday. For all of us Chole Mjini was definitely the highlight but Lake Manze is pretty hard to fault!
