Detailed Itinerary
Your adventure begins with a morning pickup in Dar es Salaam, followed by a scenic drive of approximately five hours to the vast and untamed Nyerere National Park, formerly known as Selous Game Reserve. Upon arrival, check in to your lodge and enjoy a well-deserved lunch and some time to relax. In the late afternoon, embark on a serene boat safari along the Rufiji River, a perfect introduction to the park’s wildlife and beauty. As you cruise the waters, look out for pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and a variety of vibrant birdlife, all framed by a golden sunset. Dinner and overnight at the lodge/camp.
After an early breakfast, set out for a full-day game drive in the vast wilderness of Nyerere National Park, carrying a packed picnic lunch. This day will give a chance to explore a variety of landscapes from miombo woodlands to open floodplains teeming with life. This diverse terrain supports an impressive range of wildlife, and with some luck, you'll encounter elephants, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, pride of lions and the elusive African wild dogs for which the park is famous. Enjoy your picnic lunch at a scenic spot in the bush, soaking in the sounds and serenity of nature. As the sun begins to set, return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a peaceful overnight stay.
Begin your final day with an early morning walking safari, guided by an experienced ranger. This immersive experience allows you to connect with the bush on foot, discovering animal tracks, learning about medicinal plants, and observing the smaller details of the ecosystem that are often missed during vehicle safaris. After this invigorating walk, return to the lodge for breakfast before beginning your journey back to Dar es Salaam. Enjoy a scenic drive through rural Tanzania, carrying a packed lunch to enjoy en route. Depending on your schedule, you’ll be dropped off at either your hotel or the airport, bringing your unforgettable Nyerere safari adventure to a close.
