Early Morning Bush Walk & Drive to Dar es Salaam for Boating back to Zanzibar

Early this morning you will go for bush Walking, Nyerere National Park.

An insight into how everything is connected, how it survives and thrives when the environment is left as nature intended.
Bush walks are a great way to get close to nature and learn more about it. A bush walk gives you the chance to explore the intricate details of the bush, from tiny insects to towering trees, as well as stretch your legs. Although you may spot some giraffes, warthog, or walk in the footsteps of elephants, our bush walks are tailored to give you the opportunity to learn about the things you miss from a vehicle or boat - the ecosystem that the animals live in. Your guide will share fascinating insights into the plants, birds, and smaller animals that often go unnoticed during traditional game drives, and you’ll learn to identify animal tracks and signs

This marks the end of your safari in Tanzania. We hope that you have enjoyed your trip and that you're already planning your next safari with us.
