Transfer by Road from Dar es Salaam to Nyerere NP (Sunset Boat Safari Experience )

Today, we will pick you up from Dar es Salaam Airport or your accommodation in Dar es Salaam and start our beautiful journey to Nyerere National Park in a 4x4 luxury Jeep. The drive takes about 4 hours. Once we arrive, we will enjoy a packed lunch at the lodge. Then, we will go to the Rufiji River for a sunset and evening boat safari. Later, we will return to our accommodation for dinner and relaxation overnight.

Sunset boat trip in Nyerere National Park: Enjoy Tanzania's best boat safari when we take you out on the Rufiji River, which runs alongside (and into) Nyerere National Park. You'll almost certainly see hippos and crocodiles, and you never quite know what will come down to the river's edge to drink.

It's common to see giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, kudus, warthogs, and - a highlight for those with good luck - elephants bathing or crossing the river.

The Selous Game Reserve, now renamed Nyerere National Park, is a protected area in southern Tanzania. It covers a total area of 50,000 sq km (19,000 sq mi) and has additional buffer zones. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982 due to its wildlife diversity and undisturbed nature. Some of the diverse wildlife of the miombo include the African bush elephant, south-central black rhinoceros, hippopotamus, lion, African wild dog, African buffalo, Maasai giraffe, plains zebra, and Nile crocodile.

Morning Bush Walking Safari and Transfer to Dar es Salaam

After breakfast, we will go on a sunrise walking safari. After a few hours of walking, we will return to Dar es Salaam, where our safari ends.

Walking safaris offer a fantastic opportunity to get close to nature, learn about the smaller species, and experience the bush itself. It's an unforgettable experience to walk within such a vast and untamed natural reserve.

While you may spot giraffes or walk in the footsteps of elephants, our walking safaris are designed to allow you to learn about the aspects of the ecosystem that you might miss from a vehicle or boat, and the intricate details of the animals' habitat. You'll learn to identify animal tracks and signs, and hear fascinating information about insects, trees, and colorful birdlife.
