Each day brings a new adventure: game drives to see elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalos, and predators like lions and wild dogs, a peaceful boat safari along the Rufiji River where you’ll spot hippos, crocodiles, and colorful birds, and a walking safari to experience the smaller wonders of nature up close.
