TANZANIA - The Selous on Foot

Itinerary Highlights

Days 1 - 2 - Dar es Salaam, Tanzania / Selous Game Reserve
Arrive in Dar es Salaam, where you meet your guide. In the morning, fly to Selous Game Reserve, Africa's largest protected wilderness; your safari begins with an afternoon game run.

Days 3 - 7 - Selous Walking and Mobile Tent Safari
Remote and rarely explored, the Selous' huge northern expanse of African wilderness includes the Rufiji River, dense riverine forests, thickets, grasslands, lakes and swamplands interlaced with water channels. The river changes course constantly, creating amazing oxbow lakes fringed with palm trees. Robust populations of elephant, lion, cheetah, leopard, hippo, Cape buffalo, eland and other species inhabit this area, as do the elusive wild dog and some of the region's last black rhino. Crocodiles bask on the riverbank, where you fish for tiger fish, powerful relatives of the piranha. Fish eagle, puff back, bee-eater and about 350 other bird species live here.

Days 8 - 9 - Sand Rivers Selous / Dar es Salaam
Return to the Sand Rivers Selous for a final day of game viewing. The next day, return to Dar es Salaam for flights home.
