Walking Safari at Nyerere National Park Then Drive Back to Dar ES Salaam

Have an early morning breakfast at the camp and start a sunrise bush walk. Walking safaris are a fantastic way to get close to nature and learn more about the smaller species and the bush itself. It’s an unforgettable experience to walk and tramp within such a vast and untamed area. The walks take about 2-3 hours long. Usually, the walks leave the camp at 6:00 am -6:30 am after having a cup of tea and some homemade biscuits or doughnut.
After walking, we shall start the drive to Dar es Salaam or take a boat to Zanzibar for those having an extra schedule.
