The meandering Rufiji River lies at the heart of Nyerere National Park

It forms a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps.

It is a great place for game viewing...

...as well as admiring the beautiful scenery.

Wild dogs can be spotted...

...and also herds of elephant.

Nyerere National Park also has an extraordinary birdlife...

...with over 440 species.

...and elephants as they come down to the river.

Nyerere National Park is worth a visit.

"My January 2015 safari"

I visited Tanzania between 20 Jan 2015 and 31 Jan 2015
"Thoroughly enjoyable and memorable 10 day safari. Everything was great and there was absolutely nothing more I could have wished for.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service

I can't comment on the quotation because I haven't compared with any other. I have always found Expert Africa to be so good at organising my trips that I would not dream of contacting anyone else! I have no doubt that they are good value for such an excellent service and I have recommended them to a number of fellow travellers on safari who seemed less impressed with their agents.

To know that everything will run like clockwork from booking to returning home removes all the hassle from travelling to remote and exciting destinations and leaves us free to enjoy every minute of the experience.

The feedback form seems to cover everything that travellers might wish to raise.

Thanks for the helpful guidance and wonderful service" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"my jan 2015 to Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 19 Jan 2015 and 30 Jan 2015
"It was a 10 out of 10. A safari is a trip like no other and staying in camps makes the experience so much richer.

Your website is really good. And Claire was one of the best travel people I have worked with.

When I return to Africa, there is no question I will be calling EA!!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari

"My Jan 2015 trip to Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania between 17 Jan 2015 and 30 Jan 2015
"Trip met or exceeded my expectations. All went smoothly except the pre-booking of aisle seats for me. Apparently it did not appear in Kenya Airways system and I had to do it at checkin.

Also I found it very tedious at the end of a long trip to realise I would have to wait over 5 hours at Dar even though an earlier flight to Nairobi was available. I understand the need to give a safety margin on travel out of the bush, but I thought this was excessive and would have preferred to wait in Nairobi."

"We wouldn't have changed a thing"

I visited Tanzania between 13 Jan 2015 and 28 Jan 2015
"After a safari to Botswana in September 2013 we decided to visit Tanzania in green season, deliberately targeting Selous and Ruaha as a less busy area. Both locations far exceeded expectations and offered a very varied landscape with wildlife to match.

Our three camps were different in character and in how they operate. We were so glad we spent five nights at each as this allowed time to fully explore each area as well as getting to know the guides and staff. We didn't travel with expectations of seeing particular animals and with the bush in full growth thought sightings might be more elusive. However, we saw everything we thought we might see and much more. The number and variety of birds, including migrants, was stunning.

Everything went like clockwork, including camps being aware that we are vegetarian (not a problem!). Without exception staff were friendly, welcoming, informative and helpful. The time flew by and more than 3,000 photographs later, we were sad to leave. We wouldn't have changed a thing." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 15 on a Tanzania safari

"My Dec 2014 trip"

I visited Tanzania and 2 other countries between 28 Dec 2014 and 15 Jan 2015
"The trip was put together perfectly and at each juncture, the part awaiting us was exactly what we needed/ wanted to compliment the last and maintain variety. We were so impressed with the quality of the &Beyond destinations in particular- they really are a cut above- so slick. But saying that, Beho Beho was such an incredible experience, the whole Selous felt manicured it was all so perfect. Ellie has just been amazing throughout and the guidance in putting together such a trip of a lifetime was invaluable. We're not sure that we will ever top this trip. But then again, that's the sign of the most perfect honeymoon..." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"My Dec 2014 trip"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 26 Dec 2014 and 5 Jan 2015
"Parts of our trip were really amazing but other aspects were so disappointing, so it's difficult to give an overall level of satisfaction really. In our view this was partly down to advice from Expert Africa and partly down to failings of Sunshine Marine Lodge (i.e. the food).

The connections etc. were all very smooth - the drivers were always waiting for us and there was never a need to follow anything up, so the trip had clearly been very well planned out and was very easy for us, which was great.

The upgrade for the last few nights at Sunshine Marine Lodge made a lot of difference, as it afforded some privacy, so we're pleased that it could be put in place." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 7 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Amazing first taste of Tanzania"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 31 Oct 2014 and 10 Nov 2014
"I was very pleased, overall, with Expert Africa and my entire travel experience. Lake Manze and the Selous were nothing short of amazing and Zanzibar was at turns both relaxing and culturally stimulating.

Thank you so much for helping make this trip a reality!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
