2 Days Midrange Women Only Safari from Dar to Nyerere National Park

Meet your guide and fellow travellers at the confirmed Dar es Salaam collection point. After introductions and a short trip briefing, begin the journey towards Nyerere through the city’s southern outskirts and the quieter landscapes beyond.

The drive creates time for participants to become acquainted while observing local communities, farmland and natural vegetation. Appropriate stops will be provided for refreshments, stretching and restroom use.

Discover the Rufiji from the Water

After reaching the Nyerere area, prepare for a boat excursion along an accessible part of the Rufiji River. The river journey introduces the group to a habitat shaped by channels, banks, islands and surrounding vegetation.

Hippos may be seen resting in the water, while crocodiles can appear on exposed shorelines. Your boat guide will explain how wildlife depends on the river and ensure that all participants follow the necessary safety instructions.

Shared Sunset Experience

Spend the final part of the activity watching African fish eagles, kingfishers, herons, bee-eaters and other birds found around the water. The evening light also provides a beautiful setting for group portraits and landscape photography.

Return to the selected midrange lodge or camp after the boat excursion. The evening offers time to relax, review photographs and share favourite moments from the first day.

Set out early to explore Nyerere’s mosaic of grassland, bush and woodland. Your guide will interpret footprints, alarm calls and other signs while searching for elephants, African buffaloes, giraffes, zebras and several antelope species.

The female-focused setting encourages participants to ask questions, take photographs and enjoy the experience at a comfortable group pace. Lions or African wild dogs may occasionally be encountered, but their wide-ranging movements make sightings unpredictable.
