3 Days Midrange Holiday Safari in Nyerere, Southern Tanzania

Our experienced local safari guide will welcome you at your hotel, residence or another confirmed location in Dar es Salaam between 5:00 and 5:30 a.m. After assisting with your luggage and introducing the holiday programme, the guide will begin the private journey toward Nyerere National Park. Travelling privately gives you personal space and allows reasonable stops according to your needs.

The journey passes through Kisarawe, Kibiti and Mloka, covering approximately 230 kilometres in about five to six hours. Enjoy views of coconut farms, local communities, woodland and the rural landscapes of coastal Tanzania. Breakfast, refreshments and comfort stops will be arranged at selected locations along the route.

Arrive near Mtemere Gate between 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and proceed to your midrange lodge for lunch and check-in. Spend the afternoon resting beside the wilderness, enjoying the lodge facilities or observing birds around the grounds. Dinner and overnight will be provided at the lodge.

Begin the day with an early breakfast before leaving the lodge at approximately 6:30 a.m. Carry a packed lunch and enter Nyerere National Park through Mtemere Gate. Morning temperatures and softer light create favourable conditions for observing animals before the day becomes warmer.

Explore the park’s grasslands, acacia woodland, miombo forest and wildlife areas associated with the Rufiji River. Watch for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, waterbucks and greater kudus. Predators may include lions, leopards, spotted hyenas and African wild dogs. Along the river and accessible lakes, look for hippos, Nile crocodiles and a wide variety of waterbirds.

Stop for lunch at an authorised picnic site and take time to enjoy the surrounding scenery. Continue the game drive during the afternoon, allowing enough time for photographs and unhurried wildlife observation. Leave through Mtemere Gate at approximately 5:30–6:00 p.m. and return to your midrange lodge for relaxation, dinner and overnight.
