DAY 2 and DAY 3 –  Selous Game Reserve

We spend these full days discovering and  exploring Selous Game Reserve.

We can  choose the activities we prefer:

• Game drive,
• Walking safari
• Boat safari.

The  Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected wildlife Reserve and  covers more than 5% of Tanzania’s total area. It’s rivers, hills, and plains are home to roaming elephant populations, the area’s famous wild dogs, and  some of the last black rhino left in the region. The  Rufigi River Delta is a striking feature of the game reserve. It connects the Great Ruaha River with the Rufiji River and  not far from the park boundaries empties out into the Indian Ocean along the Tanzanian Coast. The  Rufiji River is the largest water catchment locations in the region, and  as such, is home to a plethora of varied water and  bird life. Along its shores, oppulent hippos sleep languidly in the mud and  sun themselves, mouths wide open, as the river passes by. Crocodiles are also  common along the Rufiji’s riverbanks, their armour plated skins the only  rough edges in the rivers incessant flow. Stiggler’s Gorge, where the Great Ruaha River meets the Rufiji River, is a breathtaking example of the diversity and  spectacular scenery along the game reserve’s waterways.

Dinner and overnight at Lake Lanze Camp.

DAY 4 –  Selous Game Reserve to Dar Es Salaam

After breakfast we have last game drive on the way to the airstrip. We fly back to Dar by flight. Beach extension as you prefer.
