Detailed Day-by-Day Itinerary
Dar es Salaam to Nyerere NP

Nyerere Full-Day Game Drive
A full day exploring the vast grasslands and riverbanks for lions, elephants, and giraffes. Nyerere is one of the largest protected areas in Africa, offering incredible wildlife diversity and fewer tourists than the northern parks.

Mikumi Full-Day Game View
Sunrise game drive and a full day exploring the Mkata Floodplain. This open savanna is excellent for spotting the Big Five - lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and with luck, the elusive rhino.
