Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park - Sunset Boat Safari on Great Rufiji River

You'll be picked up from the agreed point in Dar es Salaam in the morning and proceed to Nyerere National Park. The journey will take 3 to 4 hours. On arrival, a hot lunch will be served at the hotel. You will then have a sunset boat safari along the mighty Rufiji River. This will bring you close contact with hippos, crocodiles, and incredible birdlife. Animals make their way to the river to drink, and boats may approach elephants, lions, buffalo, giraffes, waterbuck, and other game on the river banks within a few meters. Crocodiles glide into the water as your boat approaches, and hippos appear in frightening proximity, grunting and blowing steam.

Dinner and overnight will be at Nyerere Green Lodge, a new accommodation at Mloka Village with full AC and a hot shower.
