Varied 3 Day Safari at Selous/Nyerere National Park

This safari is ideal for those who want to experience a varied journey in a short time. With its river landscapes of the mighty Rufiji River in the south of Tanzania, the Selous/Nyerere National Park offers a great insight into Africa's nature and wildlife. Bird lovers will get their money's worth, because many species of birds can be seen near the shore.

+ Day 1: Dar es Salaam to Nyerere Nationalpark

Departure in Dar es Salaam at 8 o'clock. The trip to the Selous/Nyerere NP takes about five hours and follows the Kilwa Road to the south. After about 2 hours, head west along a rough road to the Rufiji River. After lunch at the camp, board the boat and discover the Rufiji River. Colored birds, such as the Kingfisher or Bee-eater, frolic in large groups on the banks of the Rufiji in search of food. Hippopotamus families keep cool in the water. Crocodiles avoid the hippos and stay well hidden, they prefer to bask on the shore. Round off the day with a sunset drink on a sandy island.

+ Day 2: Game drive at Nyerere Nationalpark

After breakfast, take a game drive along small lakes and the meandering arms of the Rufiji River. In addition to birds you will also see a lot of big game, with a little luck even the otherwise rare African wild-dog or a Leopard. At noon, picnic is done under a shady tree.

+ Day 3 Bushman experience and return to Dar es Salaam

After breakfast, you will be introduced to the Tanzanian hunter-gatherer culture alongside a local bushman. On a short hike in the bush he gives tips and tricks for survival in nature and cultural traditions in a witty way. After lunch return to Dar es Salaam.
