Itinerary

Day 1

Depart from Dar es Salaam city centre by 4x4 safari vehicle or flight to the Selous Game Reserve. The vast majority of Tanzania’s elephant herds live in one remote stretch of safari wilderness – the Selous Game Rserve. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch at the Rufiji River Camp. Embark on an afternoon game drive in the reserve, and then return to Rufiji River Camp for dinner and overnight.

Day 2

Enjoy a full day game viewing in the reserve. Participate in some classic – style game drives - exploring the bush in open 4 x 4 vehicles. Waterbuck, southern reed buck and bushbuck are common in the Selous. Rare sable antelope, lion and greater kudu also frequent this area. Selous has the world’s largest number of big game, more than 120,000 elephants, 160,000 buffaloes and about 2,000 rhinoceros. In addition, the Selous contains Africa’s greatest concentration of hippopotamus, crocodiles and wild dogs. Meals and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.

Day 3

After breakfast, accompany an armed ranger on a walking safari in the reserve. The sights and sounds (and smells) of a walking safari are a special treat that will live long in your memory. The thrill of creeping up to animals to “shoot” them with your camera is a great experience. In the afternoon, enjoy a boat safari where you will explore the different channels and lakes of the Rufiji River System, surrounded by hippos and crocodiles. A large variety of herons, storks, ducks, stilts, and other water birds may be seen, as well as land mammals such as giraffe and elephants. Meals and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.

Day 4

Enjoy a morning game drive in the Selous Game Reserve. Early lunch at the camp, followed by departure for Dar es Salaam.
