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.

"Tanzania and Mozambique 2013"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 22 Aug 2013 and 9 Sep 2013
"We had a wonderful trip and the transfers were, as ever, well organised, even through Nairobi airport. The places we stayed more than lived up to our expectations. The lodges were very quiet compared to last year and we did enjoy feeling exclusive. We enjoyed mostly having the game drive vehicles to ourselves. It is a shame that the lack of direct flights from the UK may be deterring people from visiting Tanzania, but we loved the quietness. We certainly had no problems although the return flight was more tiring and not so pleasant because of not being a through flight.

We were impressed with all our accommodation and are amazed with how such luxury is provided in the wilds of Africa. We did find that Mosiguard improved our tsetse fly experience. All the vehicles we used were comfortable. We can recommend a southern Tanzanian safari for the game we saw (everything bar rhino and wild dog), and the beautiful scenery and lovely people. I hope we shall return." Read full review: 18 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"A truly memorable holiday"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 21 Aug 2013 and 7 Sep 2013
"The whole trip was everything we wished. One item not mentioned is the transfers in Zanzibar - these were excellent and we loved being picked up each time by the same guide who went out of his way to ensure we had a good holiday, with tips of places to go and diversions along the way - he loves his island home and was a pleasure to share it with.

And thanks to Liz for putting the itinerary together with us - we will be back." Read full review: 17 nights in Africa; 9 on a Zanzibar holiday

"Our August 2013 trip"

I visited Mozambique and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2013 and 27 Aug 2013
"Our two weeks in Southern Tanzania and the Quirimbas in Mozambique was excellent. The variety worked very well - wildlife, culture, beach - and all the places we stayed in were very good indeed. We were not disappointed at all by any of the accommodation and if anything they exceeded our expectations.

This is the third time we have used Expert Africa and we would use them again, as well as recommend to others. The quality of service is excellent, as well as the attention to detail, and the efficient dealing with last minute hiccups. Ellie Dunkels created a plan B for our departure inc ase we couldn't get through Nairobi Airport, which had been decimated by fire, and rearranged, at no extra cost, our flights back when LAM cancelled our flight. Thank you!" Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 9 on a Mozambique holiday

"Excellent holiday / honeymoon"

I visited Tanzania between 12 Aug 2013 and 25 Aug 2013
"Our trip exceeded all our expectations. We booked our flights (Emirates from London Gatwick to Dubai to Dar), spent one night at the Southern Sun in Dar, 3 nights at Lake Manze in the Selous and 4 nights at Mdonya in Ruaha before 5 nights at Butiama Beach in Mafia.

We very much valued the advice we were given by Expert Africa and we were certainly better prepared than most other travellers we met. All recommendations and comments given about hotels, lodges, flights were borne out by what we saw.

When we return to Africa, we will certainly plan to use Expert Africa again." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"My Aug 2013 trip"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 10 Aug 2013 and 21 Aug 2013
"In the words of my 10 year old son "the trip was epic!"

The safari was definitely the highlight of the whole trip - an absolutely amazing experience, where we could see the animals very close up. The Selous Park was great - not as busy as many other safari parks. I would definitely recommend the Impala Camp to any other travellers.

Zanzibar Island was a good relaxing time after the early mornings during the safari. Pongwe Beach is a beautiful hotel with delicious food, although the service could be improved a little.

I was impressed how Expert Africa were pro-active in rebooking our flights after the Nairobi Airport fire. Excellent service from your team on this!" Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday
