Nyerere National Park

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.

"LOVED IT!

What a fab itinery! Thank you so much for your time and efforts in securing this for us. I appreciate we looked at many options but can tell you that we would not have changed any of the time or locations we have stayed in.

In fact we met a new rep from Audley Travel whilst in Beho Beho and she was so enthusiastic about our itinery I suspect this may be lifted for others booking Tanzania with Audley!" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Trouble free trip to Tanzania"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 7 Sep 2013 and 17 Sep 2013
"Everything worked well apart from not being collected by Eco-Tours at Zanzibar airport, as booked. Eventually sorted but had great difficulty in contacting the organisation. Instructions on phone use /current phone numbers to use in such circumstances would have been helpful.

Eco-Tours trips were excellent - Jambiani Village tour and Spice Tour." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 4 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Southern Tanzania/Zanzibar sept 2013"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 31 Aug 2013 and 11 Sep 2013
"An outstanding experience for all of us. Couldn't fault it, really.

Perhaps one less night on safari and one more at the beach would have been a better balance

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

No, it all went smoothly.

As advised, we got yellow fever vaccination exemption certificates (plane change in Nairobi) but these weren't asked for so maybe we could have done without them" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

The recommendations were excellent and we enjoyed it very much, it being our first safari.

Certainly not the last!" Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 7 on a Tanzania safari

"Our August 2013 was fantastic!"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 24 Aug 2013 and 4 Sep 2013
"A huge thank you to Liz and Angela for organising our trip. It was very reassuring that when asked by staff at both camps who we had booked our trip with and we mentioned Expert Africa, they would nod and say that you are one of the best!!

This holiday really exceeded all our expectations and I for one would love to repeat it sometime in the future!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

I think the thing I really liked about dealing with Liz in particular was because she has first hand knowledge of the areas we were visiting and I understand that is the case with all the staff at Expert Africa who have their own areas of expertise. I also really liked the gift of the Bradt guide that was sent to us on confirmation of our booking - a nice touch.

I would have no hesitation in using Expert Africa again and in recommending them to anyone wishing to travel to Africa." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Tanzania safari
