Posted on IngridVerified Great service Just returned from the most incredible week in Tanzania. From the moment Jackline answered my first email to the final goodbye with our guide, everything was flawless. Exceptional Travel Expert truly lives up to its name.Posted on KatrinaVerified Highly recommended! We did a combo trip, safari first with Shafi then straight into the Kili climb with Minja. Both were incredible in their own way. Shafi is so laid back and fun, Minja is focused and really gets you to the top. The coordination between everything by Exceptional Travel Expert was seamless. Jackline sorted all our booking questions before we flew out too, super helpful."Posted on FrancieVerified 10/10 Janeth helped us sort out all the logistics before our trip and was so thorough.

You can tell the whole team genuinely cares about your experience.Posted on Nancy MVerified Excellent tour This was my first time in Africa and I was a bit nervous about it all.

Really set the tone for what ended up being an amazing trip.Posted on Bertha HVerified Really great experience Jamali is something else. From day one you can tell this person really loves what they do. Super knowledgeable, funny, and always one step ahead.

Would 100% book again through Exceptional Travel Expert.Posted on Maulidi AVerified truly a five star experience Our experience with Exceptional Travel Expert was simply amazing.
