Nyerere National Park two-day safari with two game drives

Your route

What makes the night special

Africa Safari Selous sits inside the park, so wildlife continues after the game drive ends. The lodge gives you time to unwind, dine and rest with the sounds of the bush around you. The remoteness of Nyerere means no light pollution, no road noise, and the possibility of spotting animals from your accommodation before and after dark.

For their operations within Tanzanian airspace, selected Tanzanian partner carriers go through an internal safety risk assessment and audit process. Their established in-house oversight includes regular audits, operator performance reviews, and continuous monitoring to ensure compliance with their safety management system

Kaikki sujui ongelmitta. Kaikki järjestelyt, kuten kuljetukset lentokentille ja hotelliin sekä safarille oli hoidettu puolestamme. Opas ja kuski olivat ammattimaisia ja tekivät toteuttivat toiveitamme safariin liittyen. Näimme paljon kirahveja, virtahepoja, norsuja, leijonia, seeproja, antilooppeja, gnuita, puhveleita, apinoita ja erilaisia lintuja. Hotelli ylitti odotuksemme. Kasvisruokavaihtoehdot olivat myös tarjolla. Kahden päivän game driven ansiosta näimme monipuolisesti eläimiä.

Die Safari war ein absoluter Traum. Guide und Fahrer waren erfahren, sprachen englisch und haben uns super viele Tiere gezeigt. Die Organisation und Kommunikation durch TUI und den örtlichen Anbieter waren aber eine Katastrophe. Von TUI haben wir keine Infos bekommen. Der örtliche Veranstalter hat unsere Buchung mit anderen Gästen verwechselt, bis zum Abflug hatten wir noch keine Flugtickets. Meine Nachfragen wurden konsequent ignoriert. Würde nicht nochmal über TUI buchen, wenn das so abläuft.
