Experience Tanzania Beyond
the Ordinary
Discover Tanzania through authentic local experiences, unforgettable safaris, rich culture, incredible food, and the people who call this land home.
Journeys Built Around You
Every itinerary is drawn up from scratch with a local guide, a private vehicle, and a route that follows the wildlife rather than a fixed schedule.
Serengeti Untamed
Track the wildebeest columns across the northern Serengeti and descend into Ngorongoro Crater, one of the densest concentrations of wildlife on Earth.
Zanzibar Island Escape
Close out a safari or start fresh on the Indian Ocean — Stone Town's spice markets, dhow sailing, and reef snorkeling off pale sand beaches.
Kilimanjaro Conquest
The Machame route with an extra acclimatization day built in — private porters, cook, and a guide certified for high-altitude ascents.
Where The Migration Is, Month By Month
The wildebeest never stop moving. This is roughly where the herds sit through the year — we build every itinerary around it.

Run By Guides Who Grew Up On This Land
Nera Safaris was founded in Dar es Salaam by Rashid Mwaja, a lifelong traveler who has explored nearly every major city in Tanzania. Nera was built to share that same passion — small groups, honest pacing, and routes that respond to where the animals actually are, not a printed schedule.
- Private vehicles only — never shared with strangers
- Government-licensed guides, most bilingual in Swahili and English
- Fair-share partnerships with Maasai and local community camps
What The Road Sounds Like
“Rachid is an amazing guide. We had a great time and visited the best of Dar es Salaam, as locals. He answered all our thousands of questions. Definitely recommend it!”
“Rashid was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Without him, we would not have experienced the real beauty, bustle and foods of Dar es Salaam.”
“We learnt soooo much about the history and culture of Tanzania. The places he took us to were so authentic to the local lived experiences of Dar es Salaam.”
