After breakfast, embark on a scenic drive to Nyerere National Park, one of Africa’s largest wildlife reserves. Arrive in time for a boat safari along the Rufiji River, where you can spot crocodiles, hippos, and waterbirds.
Spend the day on a thrilling game drive through the park’s vast wilderness, home to lions, elephants, wild dogs, and a variety of antelope species. Later, experience a guided walking safari with an expert ranger, offering an up-close experience of nature.
