Itinerary

A warm Habari and welcome to Tanzania. You will be collected by one of our safari vehicles from your hotel in the center of Dar Es Salaam, with tasty packed lunches provided for the journey (approx 6h). Our destination, the Nyerere National Park, is one of the largest and oldest game reserves in Africa. This off-the-beaten-track park is known as a hidden gem. Nyerere National Park was already declared a National Heritage Sight, nearly 50 years ago. It is unique in its preserved habitats, wildlife diversity, and crowd-free peacefulness.

We arrive at our camp, Rufiji River Camp, in the afternoon. After settling in and relaxing for a while, we take an afternoon game drive in an open-sided, 4x4 safari vehicle to see your first elephant, buffalo, and other wildlife roaming the vast grasslands of Nyerere. After this exciting excursion, we'll return to our camp to relax and enjoy a hearty supper. Tune in to the sounds of the wildlife at night and enjoy being in Africa.
