Tanzania Nyerere Siwandu family safari

Siwandu

Siwandu is located in the heart of Nyerere national park, occupying an enviable location of the shores of the tranquil Lake Nzerakera.

The property is split into two smaller camps either side of the mess area, with the tents spread out along the lake shore to make the most of the views. Each camp has its own staff and runs as an individual unit. The octagonal tents are incredibly spacious and airy, complete with private verandah and open-air shower.

A stay at Siwandu is all about the activities and the diversity of what’s on offfer. This part of Nyerere national park offers exceptional game-viewing and the Siwandu guides are well-versed experts of the local area.

Beyond the regular game-drives, Siwandu also offers fantastic walking safaris for those aged 16 or over. Younger children can embark on guided nature walks within the confines of the property, which is unfenced but patrolled. Furthermore, the boat safaris here are excellent and a sundowner trip on the camp’s pontoon boat is a must.

Siwandu is operated by Selous Safari Company who also run camps in Ruaha National Park and Ras Kutani. They offer exceptional value for money, particularly for those who book far in advance. We wouldn’t necessarily recommend visiting with very young children, but for older children and adults it’s hard to find a more fun and captivating camp in Nyerere national park.

Highly recommend Coral Tree for a bespoke family trip. Warm and personal, with in-depth knowledge, excellent communication and thoughtful itinerary planning. Thanks, Mike and Cameron!

1790949537

So far I can only comment on the planning and booking, but I'm very excited. Ben Wallis was really helpful in taking time to work out my requirements and put an itinerary together which suited us. This is far more than we normally spend on a holiday, so we needed to take time to make it right. Ben was very patient, and reassuring.Update:The trip was amazing, the camps were fantastic and everything went incredibly smoothly.

1789765668

Cameron at Coral Tree Travel was extremely helpful when booking our holiday in Kenya. He gave us very excellent guidance/suggestions and was patient as it took us a while to finalise everything. Would highly recommend this company.

A wonderful experience with Coral Tree Travel from the very beginning. Ben has been exceptional, thoughtful, responsive, patient and incredibly committed to creating exactly the right trip for our family. He went above and beyond to make everything come together, and the whole planning process has felt genuinely personal. We couldn’t be happier with our itinerary and are now very excited for our Christmas safari in Kenya!

1788381721

The service I have received from Ben at Coral Tree has been absolutely brilliant. Apart from having great local knowledge, nothing has ever been too much trouble and I feel he is so invested in making our family trip a memorable one. Nothing about the trip could have been improved, it was perfect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Coral Tree and I can’t wait to use them again.

1788167337

We used Coral Tree Travel to plan and book our once in a lifetime family trip to South Africa. The service was excellent - our agent, Candice, helped us to plan an itinerary that exactly matched our needs and our budget. The communication was brilliant - both in the planning stages and in the lead up to travelling - which made everything so simple for us. Candice was really knowledgeable about the country, was able to answer all our questions and gave us amazing recommendations for eating out and places to visit. Would highly recommend using Coral Tree if you are planning a trip to Africa.

1787728963

Further to my previous review, we have now been on safari and the trip was perfectly curated for us. We had the most incredible time. The trip was seamless and the facilities were more than what we could have hoped for. My dietary requirements were well communicated and I was well looked after. My husband's 40th birthday was celebrated perfectly.I will definitely be back in touch when planning our next safari holiday in the next few years!

1787071381

We’ve just booked our South Africa safari with Coral Tree Travel, and the experience so far has been excellent.The whole booking process was very smooth and well organised, with clear communication throughout. Cameron was extremely helpful, friendly and responsive, making sure we had all the information we needed and explaining everything clearly from the itinerary to the payment process and travel preparations.Everything has felt very personal and well taken care of, which gives us a lot of confidence going into the trip.We’re really looking forward to our safari at Kariega and can’t wait for the experience! Highly recommend Coral Tree Travel based on the service we’ve received so far.

1787037805

Coral is an excellent travel company. Rosanna helped us build our dream holiday paying great attention to our needs and the finer details.She worked with us patiently and efficiently and always had a solution ready. Her and the team’s expertise and vast network were invaluable and when we needed help while we were in Kenya the team were on hand throughout our stay to give us advice and assistance. I would highly recommend using their services. We had the most wonderful safari beyond anything we could ever have imagined.

1786532524

I cannot praise Candice at Coral Tree Travel enough. We wanted a bucket list holiday after a difficult year and she more than delivered. We were travelling with three children aged 3,4 and 11 for a safari in South Africa then onto Mauritius. Candice took the time to learn about our family and put together the perfect itinerary. My son has a severe sesame allergy and I was incredibly nervous about such a big trip with him. Everywhere we stayed were briefed beforehand and special meals prepared with no issue whatsoever. We were travelling at all times of day yet whenever we arrived someone was waiting for us - it was completely stress free. Candice is brilliant at what she does, I would definitely recommend and will be booking with them again in the future.

We worked with Rosanna to plan our dream honeymoon to Kenya. Rosanna was absolutely fabulous - we couldn't have asked for a better service! We found compared to other travel agents, Rosanna paid incredible attention to detail, made us aware of the options available to us while keeping in mind our budget and answered all of our questions clearly and in a timely manner. Highly recommend Coral Tree Travel if you are considering a safari! The countdown is on to our honeymoon!

1785859371

Coral Tree Travel, and particularly Ben, were outstanding in arranging our family safari/beach holiday in Kenya. They struck a perfect balance between listening and adapting to our requests but also using their experience to recommend what might work best. Their experience and knowledge and personal experience of the areas really shone through. Thanks to Coral Tree and Ben, we had a truly memorable experience and even with the benefit of hindsight wouldn't have changed a single part of it. Thank you!

Mike and Coral Tree were amazing. From developing an itinerary, getting everything signed up and all the info we needed before we left, they were all over it. And then when we got in country (Kenya) it was seamless from the moment we literally walked off the plane. He clearly heard what we were looking for in a family safari and delivered above and beyond. The camps he lined up were amazing, and the people awesome every step of the way. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the whole experience and can’t wait to go back!

1785491879

Very flexible, helpful and knowledgeable throughout the booking process.Glad we chose Coral who really understood the needs of my family!

1784234404

Candice at Carol Tree helped us plan the best safari in Tanzania - always responsive to our requests and super flexible whenever something turned up. The itinerary and logistics were perfect for our first-ever safari as a big family. So knowledgeable and friendly - I loved the energy that really manifested in every aspect of the trip! I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime trip, but now I want to come back to Africa! Thank you!

1783683066

Where do I even begin?This wasn’t just another holiday for us - it was my 40th birthday trip and a lifelong dream that meant absolutely everything. From the very first phone call with Mike, I knew we were in safe hands. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient and always happy to answer my endless questions. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble.Every single detail of our Kenya and Zanzibar itinerary was perfect. From Tamarind Tree Hotel, to our unforgettable stay at Offbeat Mara Camp, and then finishing in Zanzibar, everything exceeded our expectations.I’ll never forget landing in the Maasai Mara. As we left the airstrip, we saw our very first lions and I burst into tears. It was such an emotional moment after dreaming about going on safari for so many years. That feeling is something I’ll carry with me forever, and it’s thanks to Coral Tree for making that dream a reality.The whole trip was seamless from start to finish. Every transfer, every lodge, every recommendation and every detail had clearly been carefully planned. We never had to worry about a thing - we could simply enjoy every moment.Since we’ve been home, so many friends and family have commented on our photos and videos, saying it’s one of the most incredible holidays they’ve ever seen. I’ve already passed Mike’s details on to several people because I genuinely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Coral Tree to anyone.Thank you, Mike, for creating memories that we’ll treasure for the rest of our lives. This holiday was more than I ever dreamed it could be, and we’re already talking about coming back in a couple of years - hopefully with our

We had the absolute perfect trip to Africa thanks to Mike and his team. Everything exceeded our expectations! From the organization, the quality of the lodges, the personnel, the safaris and the attention to every detail! We felt like royalty every single day! This trip was life changing for us! Thank you so much Mike for everything xx

Coral tree helped us plan the perfect first safari trip! We worked collaboratively on n the front end to plan a trip catered to our wants. The trip itself was seamless, we felt extremely taken care of, with little worry of any logistics.

Working with Cameron has been an absolute pleasure, right from the start. From our very first conversation, he has been friendly, knowledgeable, incredibly responsive and always happy to help, no matter how many questions or requests I've had...and I've had a lot!As someone who specialises in South Africa, his knowledge has been invaluable. Planning a trip there for such a big group naturally comes with a lot of questions, but I've felt completely reassured throughout the process. Rather than trying to upsell experiences or recommend things that weren't right for us, Cameron has taken the time to really listen to what we wanted and has suggested options based on genuine local knowledge and experience. That honesty has given me complete confidence that we're in safe hands.Communication has been excellent throughout. Cameron has always been available, patient and proactive, making what could have been a complicated planning process feel straightforward and enjoyable. It's clear that he genuinely cares about creating the best possible experience rather than simply booking a holiday.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cameron and team to anyone looking for a luxury South Africa specialist. His professionalism, warmth and attention to detail have made planning this trip a genuinely enjoyable experience, and I can't wait to see it all come together.

1783198770

How could we plan a 50th anniversary celebration trip with kids and grandkids that would create memories forever? Mike at Coral Tree helped put together a trip that exceeded every expectation that we had. All 16 of us felt like we were living in a dream beginning with the most stunning accommodations, incredible food choices each and every day, to the most fabulous guides and staff taking us to see and experience beauty that almost felt fake. Everything ran so smoothly because Mike was so detail orientated, so experienced and so understanding of what makes a family safari different then an adult safari. We highly highly recommend Coral Tree Travel company to make your dreams come true.

This is a review of the Coral Tree consultation service. Hopefully, we will be able to give an equally glowing review upon our return from the trip itself!Though we love going on South African safaris, we were looking for something a bit different this time around—and Malawi seemed to perfectly fit the bill with its unique blend of safari, mountains, and the wonders of the lake. We initially started planning a trip to Malawi for October ’27. Not being very familiar with the country, we figured we would use an agent, giving us plenty of time to do our research and make some good choices.However, a sudden wedding announcement meant we needed to bring the trip forward by an entire year—leaving us only four months to prepare. We were skeptical that any company could put it all together on such short notice. What kind of compromises would we have to make?As it turned out, we needn’t have worried. A phone call connected us with Coral Tree and the outstanding Cameron Raffan. We talked through our wishlist and preferences, and within a day or two, we had a starter itinerary. That required a few revisions, and true to form, the new draft was with us first thing the next day. Then we decided to extend the trip just a bit to include another night in the safari camp. No problem! We even asked, "What are the chances of getting a few nights on Mumbo Island?" Cameron took it all in stride and set to work adjusting the schedule so we could include that too.Throughout the entire process, we were kept fully informed of progress and advised whenever choices needed to be made. Questions that occurred to us about all sorts of practicalities were answered right away. After about a week, our perfect Malawi trip was completely sorted. Even better, all of the documentation provided was beautifully presented, clear, and highly detailed. So its clear that behind the very personable service from team members, there is a very well designed system.We usually consider ourselves pretty good at booking our own trips, but this was a case where we truly needed professionals with first-hand knowledge and local contacts. With Cameron and Coral Tree Travel we got all that wrapped in a friendly five-star service. We feel completely assured too that Cameron and the Coral Tree team will be tracking our progress to make 100% sure that everything runs smoothly in October. All in all, this has been a marvellous experience to date. Coral Tree Travel should be justly proud of Cameron and the top-class service they provide.It feels entirely fitting that our journey to the “Warm Heart of Africa” should begin with an company that shares that same warmth, passion, and care. Many thanks Coral Tree Travel!

Our challenge - plan a multigenerational family safari for 16 individuals from ages 6 to “low 70s” including 8 children. When we located Coral Tree - challenge resolved! Mike’s area knowledge and contacts made this so easy! The camps selected were ideally suited to our needs, the individuals working the camps (guides, support, chefs, and senior staff) were amazing; every detail of our entire trip was planned to perfection- from arrival and transfer logistics to in- country transportation, and Mike and team were communicative, responsive, and resourceful at every point along the way - from planning the tripto accommodating the needs of family members arriving on differing dates to last minute itinerary revisions. We enjoyed the trip of a lifetime and our entire family attributes a large measure of that result to the first important decision we made in selecting Coral Tree Travel to advise and assist us.I could add so many specific details to further support our Five star review - but that isn’t really necessary. Rest assured that you will be in great hands if you select Coral Tree Travel toassist you in planning a life changing adventure!

My family went on a trip in Zimbabwe organized by Rosanna at Coral Tree Travel and we had the most amazing time. Every lodge, excursion, and transfer was meticulously organized, reliable, and excellent. Experienced amazing encounters with wildlife, enjoyed relaxing days at our beautiful accommodations, and never had to worry about the logistics once we were there. Would absolutely recommend this agency for your next vacation!

After lots of searching for the right safari operator for our honeymoon I came across coral tree and I am SO glad that I did! If you’re still searching then you can breath a sigh of relief - you’ve found the best one!From the first call I had with Cam I knew we were in safe hands, Cam designed a perfect itinerary that ticked every box and fit our budget, and was super accommodating for any changes we requested.Communication was perfect, Coral tree are just wonderful to deal with, we were made feel like we were the only clients, Cam even gave us his personal number to contact him if we needed while we were on Safari over Christmas Day - going truly above and beyond his job to make sure we were always taken care of. We appreciated the transparency, pro activity and consideration by Cam and Mike when we feared we may needed to postpone our trip due to the political unrest in our destination country. Luckily not - the trip itself was unbelievable- our tour guide Messinga from Asilia was truly an expert at his profession and kept us laughing and learning over our 9 day Safari tour. Every accommodation selected by Cam for us was better than the last, the tours perfectly mapped and we felt so safe and taken care of at every point.Our entire trip was perfect down to every tiny detail and we are forever grateful to everyone at Coral and Asilia for making our honeymoon unforgettable ❤️ Tara & Eoin

We contacted Coral Tree travel when we were looking to plan our honeymoon. From the first contact, we felt that a personalised service was at the heart of what they did. They listened to our requirements, providing travel suggestions and adapted the suggestions when we were exploring options. The information given was clear and easy to follow, and at each step of the enquiry/booking process they were available to answer any type of questions, via email and phone, whenever needed. They booked all accommodation and airport transfers, and while we booked our own flights, offered to check that everything was correct before we booked. The airport transfers were well-organised and personalised, along with the accommodation. The agents were helpful and friendly throughout the enquiry stage, booking, pre-travel and post travel. We had no faults with the agent, and would recommend others to use them, as well as returning to plan holidays with them in the future. We feel their excellent knowledge and expertise, enabled us to have a tailored and exceptional honeymoon in South Africa (on Safari) and in Mauritius. Thank you to all, especially Candice, who was always responsive to our questions, providing helpful advice and guidance.

Just planned our itinerary with Mike. He has been absolutely brilliant, extremely welcoming, friendly and efficient to what we needed on our trip.The itinerary sent through was great, very detailed and helped looked at alternative options to some of the days we wanted to move around and include within out trip. The savings and deals he has managed to get have made the trip that much more enjoyable.This trip is for our honeymoon and couldn't have asked for a better experience with booking such an in depth trip. Stress free, attention to detail 10/10.

1770202882

Have a big celebration coming up 2027 and Candice from Coral Tree has been amazing at working with us as a family of 5 to book both a Safari and Beach holiday to Kenya. She has incredible knowledge in this area and able to ask the right questions of us to get to a booking that looks truly amazing.

1769531491

We have just finished booking our South African adventure for the summer and Rosanna did a brilliant job of making sense of our family’s travel style and was incredibly responsive at moving dates around to fit our needs. Brilliant service and wonderful advice.

1769507645

It has been so refreshing to deal with this company. Great communication and advice on helping us plan a very special three generation holiday. Well done.

1768078464

A trip to Africa has been a dream trip for over 40 years and I have slowly been saving to make this happen for our family of 5. As I began my research and consulted with a few agencies I had lovely conversations but was told our budget was too small and I felt like I was being encouraged to take more "cookie cutter" trips. Within the first few minutes of my chat with @Cameron Raffan I was reassured that our budget was absolutely fine and he spent much of the time wanting to hear about myself, my family and what we were hoping for on the trip. After that conversation Cameron was willing to rework the trip several times to ensure that it matched our expectations, our style of travel and sense of adventure. He was thoughtful, kind, incredibly helpful and really seemed to enjoy planning this with and for us. We leave in one month and I feel absolutely confident in the plans we have made and truly believe that we will be working with him again for a second adventure within the next 5 years (gorillas and chimps here we come!). The level of thoughtfulness of the entire team at Coral Tree and their communication has been top notch. I am so deeply grateful to Coral Tree Travel for helping make this dream come true and I will write an update once we have returned!

1768036603

We have recently been in contact with Mike and his team at Coral Tree Travel and to date, have had a very positive and professional experience. Mike has been efficient, helpful, professional and flexible to our needs in everyway so far. Our numerous questions and demands, whilst researching a dream holiday, haven't phased him, in fact he his exceeded our expectations in terms of responsiveness, advice, explaining options and ensuring we get exactly what we want later in the year. So far so very good!! His presentation, and willingness to spend his time with us over the Christmas period on flights and zoom calls was above and beyond. Can't wait for the holiday build up in the coming months, not to mention the safari of a lifetime! Thanks Mike :-)

1767834182

Mike came highly recommended to us from friends in the UK and Canada and we are delighted to be working with him to arrange our safari in Tanzania and beach stay in Zanzibar. His local knowledge and commitment to curating the best holiday for our large group has been invaluable. We can't wait to go!

We recently returned from a wonderful safari in Tanzania, expertly organised by Cam from Coral Tree Travel. Our group consisted of six friends and we were able to travel as a party in our own jeep exclusively and the choice of driver/guide was first class. Our trip included a variety of accommodation stays, perfectly suited to our request and well placed to see everything we wanted to see and much more than we expected. The trip included a balloon flight over the Serengeti which provided us with memories we will never forget. Our safari was perfectly concluded with a trip to Zanzibar. We would wholeheartedly recommend Cameron at Coral Tree Travel to put together an incredible package for your safari.

1766922495

We have booked a family safari to Kenya in October 2026.The sheer volume of information on the internet is over whelming and knowing who to trust with such a 'big' trip made me very nervous. However, the advice and assistance received from Rosanna in planning our trip so far has been exemplary. She took the time to find out what our boys enjoy doing in order that lodges and activities could be tailored towards their specific requirements. Knowing too that she has been to the lodges and beach resort that we are going to, has given me the confidence that our trip will be exactly what we're looking for.

Coral Tree provided truly exceptional, outstanding service from start to finish. I decided to book a last-minute holiday to South Africa with less than a week to plan, and after sending an enquiry, Coral Tree immediately called to help bring everything together seamlessly.We spoke with Ben, who was incredibly helpful, enthusiastic, and genuinely invested in creating the best possible safari experience for us. Despite the tight timeframe, he was amazing throughout the entire process.Ben booked us for three unforgettable nights at Shamwari Safari. From the moment we arrived, everything was perfectly organised - personal meet-and-greets at the airport, smooth transfers, and the most incredible staff at the lodge. Every detail felt thoughtful, personalised, and effortless.I cannot recommend Coral Tree highly enough. Their service exceeded all expectations, and I would absolutely use them again without hesitation.

We have just booked a trip to Southern Tanzania for next autumn. Mike, at Coral Tree, has had endless patience with two rather demanding clients(!) resulting in an itinerary which perfectly matches our requirements. We cannot fault his attention to detail and friendly support.
