2 Days Tanzania Boat Safari with Midrange Fly-in Stay in Nyerere

Activities: Fly-in arrival, wildlife transfer, afternoon game drive and Rufiji River boat safari
Activity Time: Flight: about 1–1.5 hours | Game Drive: about 2–3 hours | Boat Safari: about 2 hours

Fly from Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar to Nyerere National Park and begin a safari that combines traditional wildlife viewing with an exciting boat experience. After arriving at the airstrip, meet your guide and proceed toward your midrange accommodation while looking out for wildlife along the way. Following lunch, start an afternoon game drive through areas surrounding the Rufiji River ecosystem, searching for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, antelopes and other animals that inhabit this vast wilderness. Later, continue toward the river for a boat safari that offers an entirely different perspective of Nyerere. Cruise along calm sections of the Rufiji while observing hippos, crocodiles, waterbirds and wildlife approaching the riverbanks to drink. The changing light over the water and surrounding landscape creates excellent photographic opportunities and a relaxing contrast to vehicle-based game viewing. After the boat safari, return to your midrange lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight.

Your second day focuses on exploring Nyerere by safari vehicle after experiencing the waterways on the previous afternoon. Following an early breakfast, travel through wildlife-rich sections of the park while your guide searches for large mammals, predators and smaller species that may be active during the cooler morning hours. The route can include woodland, open areas and sections influenced by the river system, creating a varied game-viewing experience within a short itinerary. Keep cameras ready for elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, antelopes, zebras and any predator sightings that may develop along the drive. The combination of the previous day’s boat safari and this morning’s land-based exploration allows you to experience Nyerere from two different perspectives. After completing your final wildlife drive, proceed to the airstrip for the scheduled flight back to Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar.
