- Flight to Nyerere National ParkÂ
Today, you will head to the international airport for a light aircraft flight to Nyerere National Park. This is one of Africa’s most exceptional game reserves, and you’re in for a treat! Your destination is Roho ya Selous, located in the heart of Nyerere’s core game viewing area. Â
Once you settle into your comfortable canvas tent, you can enjoy a delicious lunch with breathtaking views of Lake Nzerakera. After that, you’ll have time to relax before afternoon tea and an exhilarating game drive. The national park is home to a wide variety and high density of wildlife, including abundant giraffe and hippo, herds of elephant and if you’re lucky, wild dog. Â
Your safari experience is entirely flexible, with various activities to choose from each morning and afternoon. You can embark on a walking safari to explore the Miombo woodland environment with your guide. The boating safaris are equally fantastic and offer an excellent opportunity to witness wildlife come to the water’s edge to drink, as well as get up close to bird colonies, hippo, and crocodile. If you’re a fishing enthusiast, you can also enjoy catch-and-release fishing. Â

- Flight to Ruaha National ParkÂ
Your adventure continues after breakfast as you board a light aircraft for a flight to Ruaha National Park. As you arrive, your guide will game drive you to Jabali Ridge, located on a rocky kopje overlooking a beautiful valley of baobab trees. Your day will then be yours to spend at leisure, with the option to embark on an afternoon game drive or unwind and soak up the breathtaking surroundings from the pool.Â
At Jabali Ridge, you’ll have the option to tailor your days to your preferences. Start your mornings with a walking safari, allowing you to explore the wilderness on equal footing with the wildlife. Alternatively, opt for a morning or full-day game drive with a picnic lunch or a relaxed lunch in camp followed by an afternoon game drive. If you need rejuvenation, spend your day lounging by the pool or indulging in the spa.Â
As night falls, you can look forward to your favourite drinks and a delicious dinner or combine your afternoon with a nocturnal game drive to discover the park’s rare and secretive night creatures. At Jabali Ridge, the options are endless, and our team will do everything possible to ensure that your stay is nothing short of extraordinary.
