Continue to Nyerere for further wildlife viewing and opportunities to explore its extensive wilderness and Rufiji River environment. Burigi Chato Safaris can coordinate accommodation, meals, flight connections and ground transfers around your preferences, with optional boating or authorised walking activities arranged where available. Private vehicle arrangements, lodge standards and all flight connections should be confirmed in writing before booking.

Time: Morning to late afternoon
Main Activities: Private game drive, wildlife photography, birdwatching and picnic lunch

Spend the day exploring Mikumi on a private game drive. With your own vehicle and guide, you can discuss the preferred pace and interests for the day, whether that means photography, birdwatching or spending more time observing particular animals when sightings allow.
Enjoy a picnic lunch at an authorised location before continuing the afternoon drive. The guide will choose suitable routes according to wildlife movements, road conditions and the time available. Although the itinerary can be flexible, individual animal sightings cannot be guaranteed. Return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
