Day to Day Itinerary
Day 1: Dar es Salaam - Nyerere National Park
On this first day of your safari, you will be picked from your hotel or Airport in Dar es salaam and start on your way to Nyerere National Park. It is relatively far and you will have a picnic lunch en route or hot lunch at the lodge and arriving later in the afternoon you will proceed with your first activity of the safari which is a boat safari in the Rufiji River at Selous Game Reserve. Later in the afternoon retire back at your lodge/camp for dinner and overnight. Overnight at Selous Tented Camp. Lunch box and dinner included.
Day 2-3 Full Day Nyerere National Park
On the following two days, you will spend days doing game drives in the plains of Nyerere National Park. Nyerere National Park is reputed to be best the off-the-beaten-track wildlife safari destination away from the crowds. The Game Reserve is the largest Game Reserve in Africa with its area being more than the size of Switzerland and is full of wild animals and birds species. Apart from the lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, hippos, impala, hartebeests, pythons, elands, it is the rare wild dogs that will most maze you. With a little bit of luck, you will be able to see these rare incredible hunters of the African Wilderness. Unlike the Northern parts of Tanzania where animals and birds are more habituated, animals here are timider. Nyerere National Park has recorded 350 different species of birds recorded. On one of these days, you will be taken for a walking safari in Selous guided by an armed ranger. Overnight at Selous Tented Camp. All meals included.
Day 4: Nyerere NP - Mikumi National Park
After breakfast at the lodge/camp, we check out and proceed by crossing the north of Nyerere and driving to Mikumi National Park. On arrival, we will go on our first game drive in Mikumi National Park until later in the afternoon when we drive to the lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight. Mikumi National Park is a relatively less developed infrastructure but that makes the park even better because that has helped in preserving the wilderness in its natural state for many years. There is an option of doing a walking safari guided by an armed ranger if you wish. Overnight at Camp Bastian. All meals included.
Day 5: Mikumi to Dar es Salaam
