5-Day Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park Safari

Safari Overview

5-Day Dar es Salaam to Nyerere National Park Safari with Night Game Drive & Walking Safari

Most safaris offer one or two ways to experience the bush. This 5-day Nyerere National Park safari from Dar es Salaam offers four: a Rufiji River boat safari, multiple full-day game drives across the park's vast and varied terrain, an exclusive night game drive with armed rangers, and a guided walking safari at sunrise. Together they build an unmatched understanding of Nyerere's ecosystem — from elephant herds and lion prides on the open plains to the nocturnal leopards, civets, and bush babies that only emerge after dark. Formerly known as Selous Game Reserve, Nyerere is Africa's largest protected wildlife area and one of Tanzania's best-kept safari secrets — just 4–5 hours from Dar es Salaam, and a world away from the crowds of the northern circuit.

  • Four distinct safari activities — boat, game drive, night drive, and walking safari

  • Exclusive night game drive with armed ranger — rare in Tanzania's national parks

  • Africa's largest game reserve with exceptional wild dog habitat

  • Expert English-speaking guide across all 5 days

  • 100% private safari — your pace, your vehicle, your guide
