day02

Game drive by day, boat safari by afternoon

A full day within the park — a morning game drive across the floodplain, then an afternoon boat trip and fishing session on the Rufiji, spotting hippo pods and fish eagles from the water.

A village visit before heading back to Dar es Salaam

One last early game drive, then a stop at a Maasai village for a cultural visit, before the drive back to Dar es Salaam, arriving that evening.
