Overview

The vast majority of Tanzania's elephant herds live in one remote stretch of safari wilderness: the Selous Game Reserve.

On this safari you take part in classic-style game drives, as well as boat and walking safaris. You fly between Dar es Salaam and the reserve, so you spend less time travelling than on some other safaris.

Your days

Day by day

  1. Day 1

    Fly to the Selous, evening game drive

    You are picked up from Dar es Salaam city centre and taken to Dar es Salaam Airport for a scheduled flight to the Selous Game Reserve.

    On arrival, a representative of Rufiji River Camp meets you and takes you to the camp for lunch.

    In the evening, you have the chance to join a game drive in the Selous.

    Dinner and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.

  2. Day 2

    Full day in the Selous

    Spend a full day game viewing in the reserve, on classic-style game drives exploring the bush in 4x4 vehicles.

    Waterbuck, southern reedbuck and bushbuck are common in the Selous, and rare sable antelope, lion and greater kudu also frequent this area.

    Meals and overnight at Rufiji River Camp.

  3. Day 3

    Walking safari and boat safari

    After breakfast, go on a walking safari in the reserve with an armed ranger. The sights, sounds and smells of a walking safari are a special treat, and creeping up on animals to 'shoot' them with your camera is a thrill.

    In the afternoon, take a boat safari through the channels and lakes of the Rufiji River system, among hippos and crocodiles.
