Ask questions, photograph roadside scenery or simply enjoy the changing landscape as you move farther into southern Tanzania.

Reach your midrange lodge or tented camp in time for lunch. Once settled into your room, take a quiet break and prepare for the afternoon’s introduction to Nyerere.

Set out with the guide to explore woodland, clearings and areas near permanent water. Instead of following a fixed group preference, you can decide whether to spend more time watching elephants, photographing giraffes or identifying birds. Return after the game drive for dinner and overnight.
