Transfer from Dar to Selous Game Reserve - afternoon boat safari on Rufiji River

Pick up from Dar es Salaam and arrive for lunch, or if arriving late then just light refreshments. Nestled within woodland along the banks of the great Rufiji River lies Selous Tented Camp, an enchanting safari camp tucked into the untamed African bush adjacent to the vast, unfenced Selous Game Reserve.

Sunset cruise on our comfortable riverboat, looking at hippos, crocodiles and birds, and enjoying the spectacular sunset over this enormous river.

Game drive in Selous Game Reserve

After breakfast full day game drive in a specially modified safari vehicle with a professional guide, in which you should see and learn much about a large number of animals, including all the great favorites – lion, elephant, giraffe, buffalo, zebra – and all the other major species including the now rare African hunting dog. Great variety of bird species. Wonderful scenery, with varied topography: wetlands, dry grassland, light acacia forest and higher ground with long views of far-off mountains.

Packed lunch and time to rest. Your guide will select a location with shade and water nearby to watch animals coming to drink – a place with a clear view all around so that no predator can creep up unseen! Back to the lodge by 6.30 for sunset and dinner when you’re ready.
