Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park

In the morning, you depart from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park, stopping in Kibiti for a short break to have a hot lunch. The journey to Nyerere will take about 5 to 6 hours. Arrive for an afternoon boat safari along the mighty Great Rufiji River.

A boat safari brings you into close contact with hippo, crocodile and fantastic birdlife. Animals make their way to the river to drink and boats may approach elephant, waterbuck, and others on the riverbanks to within a few meters. Crocodiles glide into the water as your boat approaches and hippos appear in frightening proximity, grunting and blowing steam.
