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.

"My Sep 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 18 Sep 2016 and 28 Sep 2016
"superb - can't wait to go back. However, with 4 nights in a camp I would take a morning off the game drives next time to have a lie-in and a break from being windswept in the open vehicle!

Walking safaris and boat trips definitely added an extra dimension." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Tanzania trip September 2016"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 14 Sep 2016 and 26 Sep 2016
"A very well thought out trip for which we received excellent advice from Expert Africa (James Denny). In particular, the order of visiting the camps was perfect in that, had we visited Mwagusi first the sheer volume of game in Ruaha may have led us to be a little disappointed in Selous. That said, our guide at Impala Camp was truly outstanding in that we saw more than others staying at the same time due to his patience and desire that we understood the animal behaviour. By spending time observing the animals with him, we saw the full story of a lion kill from them first being alerted to a wounded wildebeest to the kill itself and the subsequent family hierarchy in action for the "feast". Often we were the only observers of significant wildlife events which made it very special.

In addition the choice of camps suited us much better than, for example, the Serengeti. We wanted quiet and remote and that is exactly what we got, combined with plenty of wildlife action. A nice bonus is that both camps were better than we had expected, from facilities to food to service.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Our whole experience with Expert Africa has been excellent.

Nothing springs to mind as needing improvement which tells you a lot about the service you have provided to us." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"An enjoyable trip to Selous and Mikumi"

I visited Tanzania between 10 Sep 2016 and 22 Sep 2016
"We had been to Mikumi (the old Foxes Camp on the same site as Stanley's Kopje) about 12 - 15 years ago and hadn't seen very much. This time we saw a lot more, thanks largely to Clarence, our driver/guide.

We loved Lake Manze Camp, more than Stanley's Kopje or Sand Rivers, as, to us, it provided a more authentic safari experience." Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Tanzania safari

"My Sep 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 8 Sep 2016 and 22 Sep 2016
"Overall the trip was great.

In hindsight we would have spent less time at Fundu Lagoon and perhaps gone to Ruaha as well as Selous, but all in all we had a fantastic time. Everything was organised well by Expert Africa ." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Tanzania safari

"Botswana, Zambia & Tanzania - Sep 2016"

I visited Botswana and 3 other countries between 2 Sep 2016 and 24 Sep 2016
"A fantastic trip to Botswana, Zambia and Tanzania (my fourth safari); the three weeks flew by. Everything ran smoothly, and was as expected. A few flights were inevitably delayed, but not significant enough to adversely effect the itinerary.

My preferences/interests had clearly been passed onto the camps, and acted upon, which was much appreciated.

An awful lot of work goes into organising a 3-week long trip, and Ellie was most knowledgeable. At times when I contacted her she was very busy and hence there were sometimes some delays in her responses. But everything came together perfectly, and I had a terrific time. I'll be back!"

"Great time in Tanzania"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 2 Sep 2016 and 13 Sep 2016
"We had a wonderful holiday, with lots of variety. Both camps we stayed in were excellent and offered different game viewing experiences.

Stone Town provided a completely different 'town' experience, while Chumbe was the perfect place for relaxation. Staff everywhere we stayed were first-class.

All our connections worked perfectly. Many thanks to Liz for organising everything so competently." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 8 on a Tanzania safari

"My Aug 2016 trip"

I visited Tanzania between 29 Aug 2016 and 7 Sep 2016
"An outstanding trip. We may have been lucky in having both camps almost to ourselves but even without this I am sure we would have had the unhurried, individually tailored and thoughtful introduction to safari that we were looking for.

All arrangements worked well, any unexpected issues were dealt with quickly and with no fuss, and overall we had confidence that we could get on with enjoying ourselves." Read full review: 9 nights in Africa; 9 on a Tanzania safari

"Our 2016 trip to Kigelia and Beho Beho"

I visited Tanzania between 28 Aug 2016 and 8 Sep 2016
"Fabulous holiday. Everything went to plan. All our pick ups and being met at various times went well - no worries about finding anyone.

Camps we chose suited us and we enjoyed both equally for different reasons." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Tanzania safari

"Got my monies worth"

I visited Tanzania and 1 other country between 26 Aug 2016 and 10 Sep 2016
"Decided on this trip because I wanted to see a solar eclipse for my 60th birthday . I was utterly pleased with all the resorts, safari camps and flights arranged by Expert Africa.

The only thing I would have changed would have been to spend less time at the beach in the beginning and more time snorkeling in Zanzibar at the end. Having said that I don't think that could have been arranged as no one could have changed the timing of the eclipse or my international flights.

This was my first time using Expert Africa and won't be my last. I have been to the African Continent 7 times using other agents at another agency but my new favorite is Ellie with Expert Africa.
