On Safari In Ruaha National Park

Today you can take a drive through Ruaha National Park in a custom-built open game drive vehicle, perfect for traversing the beautiful and varied habitats of the park. This is the best way to get up close to the multitude of wildlife that call Ruaha home. Between drives, you can also get out on foot. Being on your own legs in the bush is a completely different experience. You can stand tall beneath the towering baobab trees, or on bent knee to examine the spoor of the lion or the antics of the ant lion. Walking gives you an appreciation of the tranquility and vastness of the bush.

Day 5

On Safari In Selous

On Safari In Selous

Overlook the Rufiji river from the open fronted deck of your stone and thatch cottage. Enjoy an early morning game drive, in the open-sided 4×4 vehicles, enjoy lunch in camp followed by a siesta and an afternoon game drive. In the times of year when it's not too you can also venture out for full day game drives with a packed picnic lunch. You can also go on a walking safari or a boat safari down the Rufiji River – a wonderful contrast to game viewing from a vehicle. It is all about retaining spontaneity wherever possible. Often the best way to see things, to avoid scattering animals from the lakeshore, or spooking a herd of elephant as they feed their way through a stretch of lush grassland, is to hop down and quietly work your way into a good position on foot. Walking in the bush takes safari down to a slower pace, and is a chance to learn, touch and feel Africa, to get a glimpse at the incredible flora and little critters that call it home.
