Three full days in Nyerere National Park allow a comprehensive exploration of the Rufiji River ecosystem, from boat safaris in the morning to game drives through the open plains and woodland, with a walking safari in designated zones for those who want it. Connected from Zanzibar via the Dar ferry, this is the road-based version suited to travellers who have more time and lower budget than the fly-in option allows.
