2 Days Midrange Tanzania Southern Circuit Safari to Nyerere

Your safari begins with early collection from your hotel, residence or another confirmed location in Dar es Salaam. Travel south through the outskirts of the city and continue across rural landscapes characterised by villages, farmland and natural woodland. Appropriate stops for refreshments and personal comfort will be provided during the journey.

Rufiji River Boat Safari

After arriving in the Nyerere area and settling into your midrange lodge or camp, proceed to the Rufiji River for an afternoon boat safari. Cruise through an accessible section of the river while looking for hippos, Nile crocodiles and animals approaching the banks to drink. The boat provides a different viewing perspective from a safari vehicle and allows you to discover Nyerere’s aquatic environment.
