Drive from Dar es salaam to Nyerere National Park and enjoy half Game drive till Sunset

Your adventure begins with an early morning pick-up from Dar es Salaam at 4:30 am. As the sun rises, you will travel through rural villages and landscapes on your way to Nyerere National Park. By around 10:00 am, you will arrive at Selous Safari Lodge for check-in and a short rest.

Soon after, you will take your picnic lunch box and head into the park for a half-day game drive. This gives you the chance to explore the rich wilderness and encounter elephants, lions, giraffes, buffalo, zebras, and an incredible variety of bird species. The drive continues until sunset, when you return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of the African bush.

Experience Walking safari, Boat trip then drive back to Dar es salaam

At 6:00 am, start the day quietly with a cup of coffee or tea before setting out on a guided walking safari. Spend the next two hours (until 8:00 am) exploring the bush on foot, learning about animal tracks, plants, and spotting smaller wildlife often missed from a vehicle.

Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast. After breakfast, at 10:00 am, embark on a two-hour boat safari along the Rufiji River, ending around 12:00 pm. This experience offers close-up views of hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and a wide range of water birds.

Around midday, return to the lodge, collect your belongings, and take your packed lunch box for the drive back to Dar es Salaam. You will arrive in the city in the evening and be dropped at a location of your choice, marking the end of your safari adventure.
