Begin with a guided walking safari in an approved area, accompanied by an authorised guide and armed ranger. After the briefing, explore footprints, feeding signs, plants and insects while learning how these details reveal activity in the bush. Moving on foot adds a different perspective to your safari and encourages you to listen and observe carefully. The walk will follow a route suited to conditions and participants’ abilities.

Return to your accommodation for a midday break before an afternoon game drive. Explore a suitable area that complements the previous day’s route, looking for new encounters and enjoying time at worthwhile sightings. An available community visit may be arranged beforehand as an alternative. Finish the outing at your lodge or camp for your final evening in Nyerere.
