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.

"A really great trip"

I visited Tanzania between 9 Sep 2010 and 24 Sep 2010
"We put this into our top three holidays - but we're not sure what the other two might be! We were delighted with our choice of camps which we alighted upon after full answers to our detailed questions: which suggests to us that you made a good effort at trying to understand what we were looking for (and made us think about what we really wanted).

Beho Beho managed to create a really welcoming safari house party atmosphere (probably helped by the fact that the owner's mother "Mrs B" was staying). Seasoned safari folk might find it a little too sanitised and soft but we enjoyed it all the same.

Kwihala really does deserve a higher profile. it's not the poshest but it's for real, in a genuine piece of wilderness. Pietro was really enthusiastic. He really has a passion for lions which, perhaps almost got in the way of the wider safari experience such as simply stopping and looking at the "normal" wildlife. Also chasing the lions meant that breakfast and lunch almost went forgotten. Now, we know that nothing is predictable in the field but it did mean that on a couple days the gap between lunch and dinner was almost indigestably short.

Pole Pole was a complete downshift in pace, and a totally welcome one too. All services were delivered faultlessly and effortlessly. The atmosphere in the village was good too." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 14 on a Tanzania safari

"Safari an amazing time"

I visited Zanzibar and 1 other country between 4 Sep 2010 and 15 Sep 2010
"We had a wonderful trip. Expert Africa were extremely good and everything was organised to a high standard. We experienced no problems at all.

Our Safari in the Selous game reserve was truely amazing with so many great memories. I can not recommend it enough.
Zanzibar was interesting and an eye opener to how a lot of people live.

Thank you Expert Africa.

I also had contact with Liz Wollen [Ed: one of the Expert Africa team] who was also very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble even when I changed my requirements in my initial enquiry. Everything was organised and detailed perfectly.

Thank you Expert Africa. I would have no doubts in recommending anyone to you." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 6 on a Zanzibar holiday

"This was a wonderful experience.

We could only manage one week away and the balance of walking/camping to time in Sand River and Beho Beho was just right. Beho Beho sets the standard for safari camps.

"We finally made it to Selous!"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 14 Aug 2010 and 5 Sep 2010
"We have been working on this trip for years - and it lived up to every expectation. Great variety of accommodation, excellent game viewing and a bit of swimming at the end. We have already discussed the possibility of going back.

Thank you to all at Expert Africa who have had input to this over the years - Chris, Claire, Penny, Liz and Ellie.

"A wonderful holiday"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 12 Aug 2010 and 22 Aug 2010
"We had a truly wonderful holiday. The advice that we received from Ellie Dunkels was exceptional. The places that she recommended to us were so "right" it was almost as if she knew us personally. Liz Wollen helped us closer to the time of departure and was very helpful and accommodating as our plans changed.

Tanzania itself was wonderful. The people we met were charming and gracious, the countryside, animals, birds, sea and fish were breathtaking and Stone Town was a fascinating place to end a memorable holiday. For all of us Chole Mjini was definitely the highlight but Lake Manze is pretty hard to fault!

"Excellent. Pick ups from/to flights on time and well organised

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Sort out the luggage allowance and make sure the information in the guidance matches the experience on the ground.

This feedback has taken over 45 minutes. We are not trained touch typists but even if we were we could not have done it in the 10-15 mins you suggested." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 11 on a Tanzania safari
