You'll leave the city lights behind and plunge into the wild heart of Tanzania. Imagine the sun setting over the Rufiji River, casting long shadows as you spot hippos basking on the banks. This 3-day safari transports you to the heart of Nyerere National Park, where you'll explore by foot and boat, encountering the awe-inspiring wildlife that thrives in this untouched wilderness.Nyerere National Park, Africa’s crown jewel of wildlife sanctuaries, awaits exploration with its untamed wilderness. Established in 2019, it’s the largest national park in Tanzania, and one of the biggest in the world, sprawling over a whopping 30,893 square kilometers. Take your safari to the water! Boat trips along the mighty Rufiji River reveal a different perspective. Hippos wallow in the shallows, crocodiles bask on the banks, and an abundance of water birds paint the scene. The park serves as a vital sanctuary for the critically endangered African wild dog. These social hunters, with their distinctive painted markings, are a rare sight elsewhere, but Nyerere offers a glimpse into their fascinating world.
