Your adventure begins with a warm welcome by your professional Kima Safaris guide at your hotel or the airport in Dar es Salaam. After introductions and a safari briefing, you will embark on a scenic drive to Nyerere National Park, enjoying views of rural Tanzania, villages, and lush landscapes along the way. Upon arrival, you check in at your comfortable Selous River View Lodge, your base for the next two nights.
After a short rest and lunch at the lodge, prepare for a magical sunset boat safari along the Rufiji River. Glide quietly along the river as hippos, crocodiles, and waterbirds populate the banks, while the sun casts golden hues across the water. Your guide provides insight into the park’s ecosystems and wildlife behavior, making every moment educational and memorable. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the African bush.
Following an early breakfast, you depart for a full-day game drive, exploring the vast savannahs, woodlands, and floodplains of Nyerere National Park. Known for its high density of elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, buffaloes, and zebras, the park offers unforgettable wildlife encounters. The morning light brings animals out of their resting areas, increasing your chances of observing large herds and active predators.
A picnic lunch is served within the park, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the wilderness, allowing you to remain immersed in the environment. In the afternoon, you continue your safari, visiting different habitats and riverbanks, maximizing the variety of wildlife and photographic opportunities. Return to Selous River View Lodge in the evening for a delicious dinner and overnight stay, reflecting on a day filled with African wildlife adventure.
Start the day with a guided nature walk, exploring the bush on foot with your experienced guide. Learn to track animals, observe birds and insects, and understand the flora and fauna of the park from an intimate perspective. After the walking safari, embark on a half-day game drive, offering one last opportunity to spot wildlife before departing the park.
Enjoy lunch at the lodge, then begin the scenic drive back to Dar es Salaam, passing through picturesque villages, farmlands, and the Tanzanian countryside. Upon arrival, your safari concludes with a drop-off at your hotel or the airport, leaving you with lasting memories of Nyerere National Park’s wildlife, landscapes, and riverine beauty.
