Nyerere National Park

After breakfast, go on a full-day game drive in a specially-modified safari vehicle with a professional guide. You will see and learn a lot about a large number of animals, including all the great favorites – lion, elephant, giraffe, buffalo, and zebra – and all the other major species. You will also have a chance to spot the rare African wild dog and a great variety of bird species. Enjoy wonderful scenery, with varied topography like wetlands, dry grassland, light acacia forest, and higher ground with long views of far-off mountains.

Enjoy your packed lunch and take some time to rest. Your guide will select a location with shade and water nearby to watch animals coming to drink (a place with a clear view all around so that no predator can creep up unseen!). We return to the lodge by 6:30 for sunset and dinner.
