Day 4
Full Day Nyerere National Park
Depart for a full day exploring Nyerere National Park, with picnic lunch inside the park.
The variety of wildlife to be seen in Nyerere isn't quite on a par with Ruaha or Serengeti National Parks, but you're likely to see big herds of buffalo and elephant. Masai giraffes are very common too. Impalas are abundant, and you'll see lots of greater kudus with their magnificent spiral horns as well. Nyerere is a stronghold for the rare sable antelope, and one of the main attractions of the park is the chance to encounter wild dogs. Nyerere National Park (formerly the Selous Game Reserve) offers great wildlife viewing. The string of lakes along the main circuit is a good place to see unusually large groups of giraffes alongside buffalo, waterbuck, impala, and plains zebras. Opportunistic, hungry lions sometimes wait nearby for animals to drink, and you might be lucky to see a daytime kill. Dinner and overnight at the Camp.

Full Day Mikumi National Park
After breakfast, go for a full-day game drive in the vast beautiful Mikumi National Park until evening.
The grasslands of Mikumi support large herds of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, and impala. Giraffes and elephants are also common. Large predators such as lions, leopards, and spotted hyenas are less conspicuous but still possible. Watch also for eland, greater kudu, sable, and Lichtenstein's hartebeest. Troops of yellow baboons and vervet monkeys are found throughout the park. The planned reintroduction of rhino to Mikumi will only increase the park's appeal. Zebra, wildebeest, impala, and buffalo inhabit the grassy plains of Mikumi National Park. Lions, which prey on these animals, are also quite often seen. Giraffes browse the isolated acacia trees that fringe the Mkata River, where you should also see elephants. Dinner and overnight at the Camp.
