Sample 3-day Nyerere safari itinerary
Day 1 — Fly from Zanzibar to Nyerere
Depart Zanzibar for the airstrip that serves your lodge or tented camp. Meet your guide on arrival and transfer to your accommodation. Depending on your arrival time, head out for an afternoon game drive or take a guided boat safari on the Rufiji River, where you can look for hippos, crocodiles and waterbirds.
Day 2 — Explore Nyerere National Park
Spend the day exploring the park’s woodland, open areas and lakes with your guide. Look for elephants, giraffes and buffalo, and scan the shade for lions. Your guide will choose the route based on recent sightings and track conditions. If a boat safari is included and you haven’t taken it yet, it can be scheduled around your game drive, subject to river conditions.
Day 3 — Return to Zanzibar
Have breakfast at camp. If your flight leaves enough time, fit in a final short activity before the airstrip transfer. Fly back to Zanzibar and continue to your beach hotel. Ask for island hotel transfers to be included if you’d like them arranged.
What’s included in your quote?
Your written quote will specify the Zanzibar flights and routing, airstrip transfers, accommodation and meals, guided activities, and applicable park and activity fees. Ask about private vehicle pricing, Zanzibar hotel transfers and any extras you’d like to add. The total depends on your dates, group size, room choice and flight availability.
