So what really are ''game drives'' in Nyerere National Park or during an African Safari, as anyone thinking of booking a Safari in Tanzania for example will have seen gamedrives indicated throughout the itinerary. Well, the meaning of a safari game drive is an adventure excursion by vehicle into a wildlife area such as a National Park or Reserve, for example Nyerere National Park, with the purpose of exploring the park and seeing a variety of wild animals in their natural habitat.

As for how long is a Safari game drive is, typically in Tanzania, the drives last 2 to 3 hours per drive in the morning and afternoon hours, with morning timings usually scheduled from 6.30am to 9am and afternoon timings being 3.30pm to 6.30pm, though travelers may sometimes opt for a full day gamedrive generally from 10am to 4pm, in which case the excursion will include a packed picnic lunch to be had inside the National Park at a designated picnic spot, during lunch hours anytime from 12.30pm to 2.30pm.

Regarding the cost of Game drives in Nyerere National Park and Selous Game Reserve, prices start from USD 75 per person per gamedrive and in case you wish to have an exclusive vehicle hired from the camp for a full day drive the cost will be US$ 300 to US$ 550 per vehicle depending on the camp. However it costs less overall to book all inclusive Safari packages that include several game drives, accommodation, meals and flights from Dar es Salaam.
