Dinner and your overnight stay are at Mloka Safari Lodge or similar.
After breakfast at 8:30 am with your lunch packed, you will drive to Nyerere National Park formerly Selous Game Reserve, for a full-day game viewing drive. The park is famous for its elephants, lions, wild dogs, buffaloes, bushbuck, impalas, elands, baboons, zebras and greater kudus.

After breakfast at your lodge, you will enjoy another full-day game view along the Rufiji River. Rufiji River is hippo-filled, and the lakes are fringed with palm trees. The park covers an area of over 30,000 square kilometres. Nyerere is, after all, home to one of the biggest lion populations in Africa. Lion, elephant, zebra, giraffe, hippo, crocodile, buffalo, wildebeest—you’re almost guaranteed to see plenty of these.
