"whole trip feedback"
Very well organised trip and good advice about where to stay and length of time etc.
Would like to note that our transfer from zanzibar airport to shooting star never arrived, so we waited a while, and then had to take a taxi to the eco and culture tours office in stonetown, they check and stated they has us down to be picked up a month later, and didnt really appear very apologetic. We also then had to continue in the taxi ( with no air conditioning) - wasnt sure why they could not have taken us from there. Howevere they did turn up promptly for our other transfers. This was the only thing that went wromg, and meant we arrived at the back about 2 hours after we would have got there." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari
"Tanazian Adventure"
The rest of the trip schedule was perfect - Arusha, Mahale & then Selous.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari
"Lake Manze and Zanzibar honeymoon"
We enjoyed our holiday and everything ran very smoothly. The connections were excellent.
We chose Expert Africa because Eleanor was so positive and helpful and gave us a really good idea of what our holiday would be like.
Suggestions for improvement:
Remember to mention whether departure taxes are included.
We weren't sure and so held on to USD$30 each in case but discoved these were already included.
Another idea would be to ask the local agents to be more proactive in selling excursions or trips. Not to force these on people, but if there had been a "price list" we would have been interested but instead we were put off by the driver trying to get us a good deal."

"Ruaha and Selous perfect combination"
If we were organising again I think we would do 3-4 days in Zanzibar first to wind down and get into holiday mode and then go to the Ruaha and Selous to get maximum benefit from the safari. We loved both parks and they provide an excellent combination with contrasting scenery, fantastic game viewing and game animals and different activities. The camps were quite exceptional and we would love to visit them and perhaps go all the way to Katavi.
The organisation and those all involved in it here and locally went entirely smoothly.
Suggestions for improvement:
I know this is probably not that helpful but this is the third trip you have organised for us and on each occasion your service has been exceptional, we would not dream of going to Africa with anyone else - many thanks." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari
