Dar es Salaam to Selous Game Reserve (Nyerere National Park)

We'll start at 6.30 am from the hotel in Dar Es Salaam and drive to Selous. After reaching Selous GR, start the afternoon boat trip. Usually, the afternoon boat trip leaves camp at 4 pm and returns at 6.30 pm. It's an ideal trip if you would like to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Rufiji River with many hippos, crocodiles, and beautiful birdlife. The sunset can also be stunning from the boat. There is nothing quite like the serenity of the river while the sun dips below the horizon.
The Rufiji is a large wide river with several lakes branching off it for you to explore, gaining a unique view of the river's largest inhabitants: crocodiles and hippos.
Boat safaris are also the best excursions for bird enthusiasts. The Selous has over 350 bird species and the river is the place where they congregate in great numbers. They are easily seen in an open environment.
You might also want to try your luck with the ferocious tiger fish and weighty catfish that live in the waters in abundance.

Selous-Dar es Salaam

You'll have an early morning breakfast at the camp and start a sunrise bushwalk. Walking safaris are a fantastic way to get close to nature and learn more about the smaller species and the bush itself. It's an unforgettable experience to walk within such a vast and untamed area of the natural reserve. The walks are about 2-3 hours long. Usually, walks leave camp at 6:00 am -6:30 am after having a cup of tea and some homemade biscuits or doughnuts.
Afterward, you'll walk back to the camp for breakfast and start your way to Dar es Salaam to your hotel, or as per the client's schedule.
