Day 1: Fly into the Wild – River Safari & Night Game Drive
Touch down in the afternoon from Zanzibar, and step straight into adventure. Upon landing, you’ll be met and transferred to the Rufiji River, where your safari begins with a sunset boat safari—gliding silently past pods of hippos, basking crocodiles, and flocks of waterbirds as the sky burns amber and gold.

As twilight sets in, dine in the heart of the bush with an exclusive dinner experience under the African sky. After your meal, the adventure continues with a night game drive—a rare opportunity to spot nocturnal predators and the mysterious creatures of the dark.

Overnight: Africa Safari Nyerere – a luxury lodge bordering the park with no fences between you and the wild. Sleep to the sounds of distant roars and rustling leaves.

Main Destination: Nyerere National ParkIncluded: Lunch & Dinner | Drinking water
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive – Into the Depths of Selous
Wake up to the stillness of the African dawn and enjoy a hearty breakfast before setting out for a full-day game drive across the park’s sweeping savannahs, dense woodlands, and winding riverine landscapes.

Track herds of elephants, giraffes towering above the trees, zebra, buffalo, and wildebeest on the move. With some luck, you may catch a glimpse of lions, leopards, or wild dogs roaming the open terrain. Pause midday for a picnic lunch in the bush, surrounded by nature at its rawest.

Return to the lodge in the late afternoon to unwind, soak in the atmosphere, and share stories around the campfire.
