Tanzania - Featured Trips

With this itinerary you will visit the phenomenally beautiful Selous Game Reserve & Ruaha National Park for one of the best classical safari experiences. The focal point in both parks is a major river, Rufiji River in Selous and Ruaha River in Ruaha as the focal point and a major draw for wildlife. These parks display beautiful and wild landscapes and possess an impressive diversity of wildlife and virgin bush.

You will stay in semi-permanent safari camps based in either comfortable & stylish A-framed tents or small bandas with proper beds, furniture and en-suite bathroom facilities. A more luxurious option is available in luxury, safari style tented lodges. The wide range of landscapes and habitats makes these Southern Parks ideally suited for combinations of game drives, walking and boat safaris. A daily choice of assorted safari excursions is on offer. This trip will give you a truly unforgettable, classical Africa-style safari experience.

On arrival in Dar es Salaam, take a short internal flight from Dar to Selous, and arrive around lunch time in Selous and transfer to your lodge. Check in and relax at the swimming pool or on the deck overlooking the Rufiji River. This afternoon you will have a choice between a walking safari or game drive.

The number of tourists visiting Selous Game Reserve is limited and this, together with the immense size, makes the reserve ideal for travellers seeking a sense of isolation, exploration, and discovery.

Overnight at Rufiji River Camp or Selous Safari Camp on a FB basis.
