Early Walking Safari, Village Tour and Sunset Boat Safari

You will wake up early for tea or coffee, then depart for guided bush walks. These are exciting chances to get close to nature and the best way to learn the details of the African bush. Walking along the firm trail through the African bushes on foot brings about a new way of appreciating the natural environment. You will return for breakfast.

Later, you will leave for an eye-opening cultural village tour for approximately two hours, then head back to the lodge for your delicious hot lunch. You will depart for a sunset boat safari along the great Rufiji River. The boat safari is a superb way to explore, watch the wildlife come to the water's edge to drink, and get close to bird colonies, hippos, and crocodiles.

After the boat safari, you will return to the lodge for a hearty dinner and a beautiful, luscious overnight stay.
