Experience wildlife from the water on a relaxing and scenic boat safari.
A boat safari offers a unique perspective on Tanzania’s wildlife and landscapes far different from a traditional game drive. Glide along rivers, lakes, or wetlands as you observe hippos bathing, crocodiles sunning on the banks, and elephants coming to drink. The water attracts an incredible variety of birdlife too, including kingfishers, herons, fish eagles, and bee-eaters. Boat safaris are especially popular in Nyerere National Park (Selous) on the Rufiji River, where the channels and lagoons come alive at sunrise and sunset.
