The trip of a lifetime!

Two weeks in Tanzania: one on safari in Selous and Ruaha game reserves/parks in great lodges, going on thrilling games drives and spotting wonderful animals and birds. Followed by a week on Mafia and Chole islands in the Indian Ocean, relaxing, snorkelling and seeing baby turtles hatch.

The perfect start into safaris

Starting out with a day in Daressalam in fabulous Southern Sun Dar, we spent a week on safari on two different and very complementary parks, Selous and Ruaha. Our lodges were wonderful, very remote, in the middle of the park, with great individual attention making us feeling at home. Our assigned guides were brilliant, very committed, insightful and knowledgeable and always going the extra mile to show us something special. We finished our holiday ...

Our lodges were wonderful, very remote, in the middle of the park, with great individual attention making us feeling at home. Our assigned guides were brilliant, very committed, insightful and knowledgeable and always going the extra mile to show us something special. We finished our holiday with 6 days in Zanzibar, enjoying the special flair of the island as well as the wonderful beach, including kite surfing, snorkeling and visits to a spice farm and Stone Town. Altogether one of the best holidays we ever had and certainly one that will get us back to Tanzania.

Rating for tour operator:

Being new to safaris and travelling with two teenagers, we received excellent advice from Expert Africa on how to plan our trip. This already started with choosing the right country and duration of the trip as well as the most suitable lodges and parks. Travel Expert then took care of every detail of the trip, all bookings of hotels, lodges, and flights, and provided us with all necessary information for preparation, so when we started out, there was nothing left for us than just enjoying the trip to its utmost. We would clearly go again with Expert Africa after this experience!

Excellent

Expert Africa organised our trip to Tanzania at relatively short notice and put together an excellent schedule staying in good quality camps. We had a truly memorable two weeks.

Professional and knowledgeable. Not "cheap" but the standard is high so that it feels like value for money

Incredible!

I booked my trip to Africa through Expert Africa. It was my first time travelling to Africa and I was travelling solo. Expert Africa and I worked together and looked at which types of camps would best suit me and what would be within my budget and I ended up going to Tanzania and Zanzibar for the most incredible experience of my life! The camps I went to in Ruaha and the Selous were the perfect choices, as was my stay in Zanzibar.

Rating for tour operator:

Wonderfully knowledgeable and helpful in the investigation and the decision process. No pressure selling at all. Once the holiday was booked everything went so smoothly. I am sure these holidays are not easy to organise, but it all went completely to plan. Top marks!

Another amazing trip with Expert Africa

We travelled to the Selous and Ruaha in Tanzania. It was amazing. We spent 4 nights at Sand Rivers in Selous and 4 at Mwagusi in Ruaha. We spent 4 nights at Sand Rivers in Selous and 4 at Mwagusi in Ruaha. Fantastic camps with great guiding and staff. All the transfers went well. We saw so much game and had some lovely times - including fly camping at Sand Rivers!

Expert Africa gave us helpful advice about the camps available, taking account of our interests and preferences. They gave us quotes for various packages. All the transfers went well. Expert Africa provided good advice about how to get to Tanzania - not so easy from the UK these days and they came up with good flights on Kenya airways.

Incredible personalize safari

Our safari in southern tanzania and we saw so many animals and had such incredibly knowledgeable guides. Everyone was so warm and helpful. Before we left we learned a few words of Swahili and that made such a difference in our interactions.

Liz at expert africa was so helpful and worked very hard to identify what would fit us best and the results exceeded our expectations. The trip all flowed so smoothly and we had so much control over what we wanted to see and for how long.

Fantastic, well organised trip to Tanzania

We chose to visit Tanzania in the wet season which due to greater rains than usual created unexpected challenges which Expert Africa dealt with in their usual efficient manner. We visited 2 safari camps and 1 'R&R' camp and had an overnight stop over in Dar on the outward journey and a short break in Dubai on the homeward journey. We had a fantastic trip - all the camps we visited were of a very high standard of accommodation and service...

We had a fantastic trip - all the camps we visited were of a very high standard of accommodation and service. The guiding and driving at the safari camps was very good especially considering the terrain had been devasted by the unusually heavy and prolonged rains and game viewing was made harder by the long grasses and dense foliage. We had a fantastic holiday and cannot wait to repeat the experience.

Rating for tour operator:

We have used the Expert Africa on many occasions and have never found another specialist Africa company that can match their in depth knowledge of the Continent. There is always someone at Expert Africa who has visited the destinations that we wish it visit ( and we do choose some very off beat places). They have such experience and knowledge and like to get to know their clients so that are able to give suggestions and advice which is very personal . We cannot praise Chris Mc Intyre and his team enough. We have and will continue to recommend Expert Africa to anyone who wants to see the real Africa.
