Day 2: Dar Es Salaam - Selous Game Reserve
Daybreak witnesses your departure from Dar Es Salaam, embarking on a picturesque drive to the Selous Game Reserve. The journey spans about 5 hours, leading you to the tranquil embrace of the Rujifi River, meandering through the Selous sanctuary. Here, a captivating boat voyage awaits. For 2-3 enchanting hours, lose yourself in the vibrant tapestry of nature. Behold the graceful dance of hippos, the melodious symphony of birds, the timeless presence of crocodiles, and the lively antics of monkeys. Lizards, too, grace your vision, while the river's embrace carries you to secluded islets and sandbanks. As the sun dips beyond the horizon, these sands become your haven, where you can relish animal sightings, strolls, and refreshing sips.
Day 3: Selous Game Reserve
Imagine a realm larger than an entire country, teeming with wildlife. Selous Game Reserve beckons, a sprawling sanctuary in southern Tanzania. Roaming within its boundaries are majestic lions, elusive leopards, imposing hippos, and ancient crocodiles. Gaze upon the elegant Masai giraffes and myriad other species that call this haven home. With fortune on your side, even the endangered black rhino might grace your safari, or the elusive East African wild dogs could make a fleeting appearance. Unlike bustling parks, Selous offers a haven of tranquility, gifting you an intimate, undisturbed communion with nature. The Rufiji River, a life-giver that journeys to the Indian Ocean, paints a picturesque backdrop. Crocodile-favored swamps and the breathtaking Stiegler Gorge add intrigue, inviting you to explore the depths of nature's marvels. Walk alongside an armed ranger on a thrilling walking safari, a unique offering of Selous. Or traverse the landscape within the comfort of a vehicle, maximizing your encounters with the untamed. Whichever you prefer, Selous' wonders await.
Dag 4-5: Selous Game Reserve
Dawn on the fourth day invites another game drive or a walking safari, tailored to your accommodation and flight schedule.
