Game Drives in Nyerere National Park and Iconic picnic lunches

Safari enthusiasts of the adventuring sort will find their dream destination in Nyerere National Park. The park is three times the size of South Africa’s famous Kruger National Park and is also home to the continent’s greatest and least-hunted concentrations of wildlife species. While on safari in Nyerere National Park, you won’t have to worry about running into other visitors too often since the park is not often visited according to its size.

Due to its exceptional topography and since this safari is a family safari, children can enjoy a variety of game activities, from boat rides on the river to game drives in open-sided cars, all while seeing a variety of species. The dry season of Julyā€“October is the best time to visit because of the incredible concentration of wildlife near watering holes, which makes exciting and regular sightings of wild animals and keeps kids interested. You will spend these 2 days in the high-end lodges selected by our Travel specialists and also being reviewed by our past guests.

On arrival in Ruaha National Park you will start to compare the wet and green Nyerere to the dry and arid Ruaha, with its savannah flats, rocky outcrops, and eerie baobab trees. Elephants, a crowd favorite at any age, may be found in plenty in Tanzania’s Ruaha National Park.

You will enjoy Game drives in open-sided vehicles which make up the bulk of your twice-daily activities. However, adults of 16 years and above can also go on walking safaris. Visitors of all ages will enjoy the park’s abundant wildlife, which includes lions, elephants, leopards, and crocodiles.
