Combine Zanzibar’s beaches with the wilderness of southern Tanzania on a Zanzibar Nyerere National Park safari. From relaxing beside the Indian Ocean to exploring landscapes of rivers, woodland and open plains, this journey brings two different holiday experiences together.
Plan your trip with Kilipath African Safaris and request an itinerary based on your travel dates, preferred accommodation and budget.
Discover Nyerere National Park
Nyerere National Park was created from part of the Selous Game Reserve. Its Rufiji River, lakes and surrounding habitats support elephants, giraffes, buffalo, hippos and crocodiles. Lions, leopards and African wild dogs also live here, although every wildlife encounter depends on conditions and luck. TANAPA
Game drives offer opportunities to explore different habitats, while a boat safari provides another perspective on the park’s wildlife. Guided walking safaris may also be available, subject to suitable arrangements and authorized guides. TANAPA
Getting There from Zanzibar
A fly-in itinerary connects your island holiday with the safari. Coastal Aviation lists a Zanzibar–Selous route serving the Nyerere area. Your flight, arrival airstrip and accommodation transfers should be coordinated before booking, with schedules confirmed for your specific dates. Coastal Travels Ltd
Ask for a quotation that clearly identifies whether return flights and Zanzibar hotel transfers are included.
Sample Three-Day Safari Itinerary
Day 1: Zanzibar to Nyerere
Transfer to Zanzibar Airport for your confirmed flight. On arrival, meet your safari representative and continue to your accommodation or begin a game drive, depending on flight timings. Enjoy dinner and an overnight stay at your selected lodge or tented camp.
Day 2: Explore the Wilderness
Spend the day discovering Nyerere on guided game drives. Depending on your package and operating conditions, a boat safari may be arranged. Return to camp for dinner and time to relax.
Day 3: Return to Zanzibar
Enjoy breakfast and, if your departure schedule permits, a final activity before transferring to the airstrip. Fly back to Zanzibar and continue your beach holiday.
This is a suggested itinerary; the activity order depends on flights, accommodation location and availability.
Accommodation and Package Costs
Choose accommodation according to your comfort preferences and spending plan. Nyerere has campsites, lodges and tented camps in and around the park, so location should be considered alongside room style. Nyerere National Park
