The Experience

High-Density Rufiji Basin Game Drives

"Every Trip a Story to Tell"

Begin tracking wildlife immediately upon leaving the airstrip. Your expert guide maps out an optimized route along the river networks of the magnificent Rufiji River Basin. Because water dictates wildlife patterns here, you will experience immediate, high-density views of elephants, giraffes, waterbucks, and specialized prides of lions resting under shade trees. Keep a sharp eye out for Nyerere's legendary apex predators and packs of African wild dogs.

At midday, break the drive for an exclusive premium picnic lunch set up safely at a scenic vantage point overlooking the river or one of the park’s tributary lakes. Watch hippos jostle and crocodiles bask along the muddy banks as you dine. Continue with an intensive afternoon game drive, exploring hidden photographic tracks before returning to the bush airstrip for your private scheduled flight back to the coast.
