Program
In this amazing three-day Nyerere National Park Safari, you will have a tour package taking you through Dar es Salaam. The bulk of your time will be spent exploring the incredible game reserve. A boat and walking safari will also take you on a unique tour to marvel at the wildlife that inhabits the reserve.
Day 1: Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park
In the morning, depart for Nyerere National Park. You will arrive for a hot lunch at the lodge. The journey to Selous will take about four to five hours. In the afternoon, you will go out for a boat safari along the mighty Great Rufiji River starting from 16:00 until sunset. This boat safari will bring you into close contact with hippos, crocodiles, and fantastic birdlife.
The animals might make their way to the river to drink and the boat may approach elephants, waterbucks, and others on the river banks or within a few meters. Crocodiles may glide into the water as your boat approaches and hippos may appear in frightening proximity, grunting and blowing steam.
