4 Day Tanzania safari extension in the south: Nyerere National Park
Whether you are planning to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, explore the northern national parks or live your best life on Zanzibar, this safari extension is perfect to make your trip to Tanzania complete.
Selous Game Reserve, now called Nyerere National Park, is certainly one of the highlights among Tanzania’s southern national parks. A highly recommended activity during your trip is the boat safari on the Rufiji River. The river runs through the entire park and it is easy to spot thirsty wildlife that gathers along its shores.
This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide.
