Have a cup of tea and some homemade biscuits or doughnuts at the camp and go on a sunrise bush walk. Walking safaris are a fantastic way to get close to nature and learn more about the smaller species and the bush itself. It's an unforgettable experience to walk within such a vast and untamed area of natural reserve. The walk takes about 2 to 3 hours and usually leaves the camp between 6:00 and 6:30 am. Return to the camp for breakfast and start your way to Dar es Salaam or take a boat to Zanzibar.
