2-Day Nyerere National Park Safari from Zanzibar

For those based in Zanzibar yet eager to experience Tanzania’s wild side, this 2-day fly-in safari to Nyerere National Park offers the perfect escape into untouched nature. Located in southern Tanzania, Nyerere is Africa’s largest protected wilderness—a raw, unspoiled expanse of savannah, riverine forest, lakes, and miombo woodlands teeming with wildlife. This short but immersive safari brings you face-to-face with elephants, lions, giraffes, buffaloes, and even endangered African wild dogs. With two full game drives, expert guides, and riverfront lodges, you’ll feel the rhythm of Africa in every moment. A boat safari on the Rufiji River, surrounded by hippos and crocodiles, adds a unique aquatic twist to your classic game viewing. This itinerary is ideal for couples, solo travelers, or families staying in Zanzibar who want to experience an authentic safari without committing to a longer trip. Within just 2 days, you’ll gain access to one of Tanzania’s most biodiverse ecosystems with luxury in the wild and unforgettable sights at every turn.

Day 1: Fly from Zanzibar to Nyerere – Afternoon Game Drive

Early in the morning, transfer from your Zanzibar hotel to the airport for your scheduled or chartered flight to Nyerere National Park. Upon landing at the airstrip, you’ll be welcomed by a professional guide who will transfer you to your safari lodge or tented camp along the Rufiji River.

After a quick check-in and lunch, head out for an afternoon game drive in the park. Explore the vast wilderness in search of lions, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, warthogs, and kudu. Nyerere is also home to rare species like the sable antelope and African wild dog. Return to camp at sunset for a warm dinner under the stars.

Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive & Return to Zanzibar

Wake up early to the sounds of the bush and enjoy a hearty breakfast before heading out for a full-day game drive with a packed lunch. Your guide will lead you through the park’s varied landscapes—savannahs, woodlands, lakes, and wetlands—offering countless opportunities for photography and up-close wildlife encounters.

You may spot giraffes browsing treetops, hippos cooling off in waterholes, and herds of buffalo thundering across the plains. Break for lunch at a scenic spot before continuing your safari into the afternoon. After the drive, transfer to the airstrip for your late afternoon flight back to Zanzibar, where you’ll arrive in time for dinner and a well-earned rest.
