On this day, you will spend a full day on a game drive in the plains of Nyerere National Park. The park is reputed to be the best off-the-beaten-track wildlife safari destination away from the crowds. It is the largest national park in Africa, with its area being more than the size of Switzerland, and is full of wild animals and bird species. Apart from the lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, hippos, impalas, hartebeests, pythons, and elands, the rare wild dogs will most amaze you. With a little bit of luck, you will be able to see these rare, incredible hunters of the African wilderness.

After breakfast at the lodge/camp, we check out and proceed by crossing north of Nyerere and driving to Mikumi National Park. On arrival, we will go on a Maasai village tour near Mikumi National Park until later in the afternoon, when we will drive to the lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight. Mikumi National Park has relatively less developed infrastructure, but that makes the park even better because it has helped preserve the wilderness in its natural state for many years.
