Starting and ending at Dar es Salaam this safari takes you to the Greater Nyerere National Park Ecosystem and gives you the rare chance to experience real African Wilderness in the few untouched areas of Tanzania. Unlike the packed Tourist Areas of the North during the peak safari seasons, This safari gives you the opportunity to be in the secluded middle of an African wilderness with the whole Savannah almost for your own. This is the best place to be if you want that ‘away from the crowds’ safari.

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 Nyerere Park. Later in the afternoon retire back at your lodge / camp for dinner and overnight. Overnight at Selous Mapumziko Lodge or Selous Tented Camp
On the following two days you will spend the days doing game drives in the plains of Nyerere National Park. The Park is reputed to be best the off the beaten track wildlife safari destination away from the crowds. The Park is the largest National Park in Africa with is 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, but 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 more timid. Nyerere National Park has a recorded 350 different species of birds recorded. On one of these days you will be taken for a walking safari in Nyerere guided by an armed ranger.
After breakfast at the lodge/camp we check out and proceed by crossing the north of Nyerere and drive 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 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
On this day after breakfast we continue with game drives around Mikumi National Park with options to do game drives or go for a walking safari until noon when we drive out of the park and head back to Dar es Salaam, or take a flight back to Zanzibar Island.
