A well-planned and memorable holiday in Tanzania

My wife and I had a memorable and highly enjoyable trip to Tanzania for four and a half weeks in September and October this year. Our trip was organised by Expert Africa and included two safaris and some time on Zanzibar Island. The first safari of nine days duration included staying in a tented camp in the northern Serengeti where we had excellent views of wildebeest and zebra. The second safari included the more remote southern parks, Ruaha ...

My wife and I had a memorable and highly enjoyable trip to Tanzania for four and a half weeks in September and October this year. Our trip was organised by Expert Africa and included two safaris and some time on Zanzibar Island. The first safari of nine days duration included staying in a tented camp in the northern Serengeti where we had excellent views of wildebeest and zebra. The second safari included the more remote southern parks, Ruaha National Park and Selous Game Reserve, where we also stayed in tented camps. We managed to get excellent close-up views of lions and leopards in Ruaha National Park, and of lions in Selous Game Reserve.

Expert Africa organised a well planned and highly successful trip for us. Their consultant was readily available and made many practical suggestions to enable us to have high quality wildlife viewing experiences but still stay within our budget. The overall trip was extremely well organised.

Amazing Safari trip

We had an amazing trip in Tanzania. We loved every part of it. We stayed in four camps operated by Nomad Tanzania, a Tanzanian safari company. We love their sustainable approach to tourism and nature.

Tailor-made South Africa Holiday by Mick T, 2 Nov 2015

A truly amazing wildlife experience in Southern Africa

We spent 3 weeks travelling through Zambia, Botswana and Namibia, with a stop-off at Victoria Falls en route. Our wildlife journey commenced at Kaingo Lodge in South Luangwa NP,which set the standard for the rest of the trip. We proceeded, by way of Chobe NP and the Caprivi Strip, to Etosha, where we saw rhino at close quarters at the floodlit Okaukeujo waterhole. From there, we journeyed to Vingerklip and Erongo, before returning home via ...

We proceeded, by way of Chobe NP and the Caprivi Strip, to Etosha, where we saw rhino at close quarters at the floodlit Okaukeujo waterhole. From there, we journeyed to Vingerklip and Erongo, before returning home via Windhoek. Apart from the amazing wildlife we encountered, including 4 of the "big 5", we saw an astonishing 180-odd different bird species, and stayed in the most fabulous camps and lodges.

Rating for tour operator:

We had a vague idea of a possible route when we started to plan our trip, but Expert Africa put together a detailed and varied itinerary,which gave us a taste of the very best that southern Africa had to offer. This was truly the holiday of a lifetime, expertly organised by Expert Africa, for whom nothing was too much trouble. We would certainly not hesitate to use this company again, nor to recommend them to friends and family.

We are experienced Africa travellers and felt that Expert Africa really knew their stuff. They sensed exactly what we wanted and put together a trip which couldn't have been bettered.

Expert Africa did an excellent job arranging our trip to Namibia. I have travelled with many "Adventure and other " travel organisations and also independently having visited some 80 countries my life so far. Expert Africa is definitely one of the best. Namibia is one of the safest and friendliest African countries. Although a very dry country with much desert areas there is a good variety of scenery. This includes coast, canyons, massive sand dunes and lots of game to be seen in Etosha Park. It is also one of the best value countries to visit in Africa with some vey interesting Lodges to stay at where you are made very welcome.

Rating for tour operator:

Excellent. Lots of helpful advice without any pressure to book. All the logistics worked perfectly. I have travelled with many organisations and Expert Africa is definitely on of the very best I have experienced.

Tailor-made Kenya Safari by V&R, 25 Oct 2015
Holiday Rating:

Safari

11 days in Kenya, in tented safari camps in four different reserves/conservancies. We saw a wonderful lot of animals and an unbelievable number of bird species. A particularly special aspect was the thoughtful and sustainable principles on which the camps were run, the collaboration with the Masai and the opportunity this gave us to meet the Masai staff.

This was our 6th trip booked with Expert Africa, with a seventh booked for next year. We have always been more than happy with the service we have received both before and after the holiday. The EA staff are always very keen to help with all our queries and requests. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
