Day 1

Fly to Selous Game Reserve

Fly to Selous Game Reserve

You'll be picked up from your hotel early in the morning and transferred to Dar es Salaam Domestic Terminal for your charter flight to Selous Game Reserve. You will arrive by early morning and be picked up by your hotel in time for 2 shared game drives and lunch at the chosen property. As you fly over the Selous, you will see why this is considered one of Africa’s largest parks. Although a large area has been (unfortunately) set aside for hunting, there is still a lot to enjoy and wildlife to witness. The Rufiji River is teeming with hippos and crocodiles and the birdlife is fantastic. Lion sightings are very common as the opportunistic creatures tend to laze around the lakes waiting for animals coming to drink. One of the attractions of the park is the chance to encounter wild dogs.

Day 4

Fly to Ruaha National Park

Fly to Ruaha National Park

After an early breakfast, you will be driven to the airstrip for your flight to Ruaha National Park, passing through the neverending plains of Selous. With some luck, you can even witness some animals in their morning routines.

You will reach your next top safari location around 11:00 am, in time for 2 shared game drives and lunch at the chosen property. Ruaha is considered the largest park in Tanzania, particularly good for predators, including very large prides of lions and endangered wild dogs. This park has a real sense of wilderness, offers a wide range of wildlife and additionally, has very few visitors which is amazing for people looking to be immersed in Tanzania's nature.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Best wildlife viewing)

Day 7

Fly to Ruaha National Park

Fly to Ruaha National Park

On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you'll ever witness. It's really one of the most beautiful experiences to have.

After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding breakfast and then proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Dar es Salaam or whatever your next amazing destination might be (i.e. Zanzibar).
Alternatively, instead of this early morning game drive, you may choose to stay at the camp for a bit of relaxation.
