Boat safaris and drive back to Dar es salaam

After breakfast, embark on an exhilarating boat safari along Tanzania's largest and longest river, the Rufiji River, which stretches approximately 600 kilometers (370 miles) from southwestern Tanzania to the Indian Ocean. This majestic river is a treasure trove of wildlife, where you'll have the chance to spot crocodiles basking on the banks, hippos swimming in the waters, and a variety of bird species soaring overhead. The river's scenic cliffs and surrounding landscapes offer endless sights and a true connection to nature's beauty.

After the boat tour, you will be back at Lodge to have our staffs and prepare to get back to Dar es Salaam and while on the way, have some time to eat lunch.
