On the first day of the itinerary, guests will enjoy a boat trip on the Rufiji River, which is one of the major rivers in Tanzania and home to many hippos and crocodiles. This is also a great opportunity to see a variety of bird species, including the African fish eagle and the kingfisher. The boat trip usually departs in the afternoon, allowing for some downtime before heading out to explore the river's wildlife.

The final day of the itinerary is a guided bush walk, during which guests will get up close and personal with the reserve's flora and fauna. This is a fantastic way to learn more about the smaller species that often go unnoticed during a game drive, and to experience the sounds, sights, and smells of the bush. The walk is usually followed by breakfast before the journey back to Dar Es Salaam.
