Itinerary

1. Day 1: Dar Es Salaam - Selous/Nyerere National Park

   • Upon arrival at Dar Es Salaam airport, you will meet your guide. Our guide will drive you to Selous Game Reserve. 
   • After about 5 hrs, you will reach the Rufiji River that runs through Selous game reserve, which you will explore by boat.
   • During the 2-3 hrs boat tour, you can see lots of hippos, birds, crocodiles, monkeys, smaller animals like lizards and a beautiful sunset from one of the little islands/sandbanks on the river.
   •  From these sandbanks, you can see the animals and enjoy a little stroll around or a drink. There is nothing quite like the serenity of the river while the sun dips below the horizon.

   Overnight stay in Hotel at Selous River Camp.

2. Day 2: Selous Game Reserve/Nyerere National Park

   • After breakfast, embark on a game drive. Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest game reserves in the world – it is even bigger than Denmark! It has a large number of wildlife such as lions, leopards, hippos, crocodiles, Masai giraffes and many more. You can even spot the endangered black rhino or the hard-to-find East African wild with a bit of luck! The Rufiji, that ends in the Indian Ocean, crosses the entire reserve. Around this river there is a swampy area that crocodiles love. The Stiegler Gorge is a special attraction here. This is a gorge 100 meters deep and 100 meters wide. It is a lot quieter here than in the other parks so that you can enjoy a unique and undisturbed safari experience.
   • Selous is also one of the few national parks where you can go on a walking safari with an armed ranger. But also, in the car you can enjoy the landscape to the fullest and spot many animals! If you prefer this, we can arrange it for you.

   Overnight stay in Hotel at Selous River Camp.

   • You can also observe a specific animal or herd for as long as you like during the safari. You don’t have to be considerate of anyone. Your personal guide will advise you during the safari so that your trip will be an unforgettable experience.
