2 Days Nyerere Solo Traveller Safari from Dar with Midrange Stay

Meet your guide at the confirmed pickup location and travel south from Dar es Salaam. The road reveals local settlements, cultivated land and increasingly natural scenery as you approach the Nyerere region. The journey gives solo guests an opportunity to speak directly with the guide and learn more about life in southern Tanzania.

Rufiji River Exploration

Later, board a guided boat to explore a navigable section of the Rufiji River. Watch for hippos surfacing nearby, crocodiles resting on the banks and animals occasionally approaching the water. The river’s channels and shoreline vegetation create a completely different perspective from a vehicle safari.

Birdlife may include fish eagles, kingfishers, storks, herons and bee-eaters. Finish the river excursion in the late afternoon and continue to your midrange accommodation.
