Itinerary and highlights
Leave Zanzibar at sunrise. Return with a story few will ever tell. This one-day fly-in safari plunges you deep into Nyerere National Park—the most extensive, wildest, and most untouched park in Africa. After a scenic early morning flight, hit the ground running with a private guided game drive through raw bushland and along the Rufiji River.
Track elephants in the wild. Watch lions laze under acacia trees. Spot giraffes, buffalo, hippos, and rare African wild dogs.
Pause for a bush picnic with panoramic views—no fences, no crowds—just you and the wilderness. Then dive back into the wild before flying back to Zanzibar by sunset.
