• Day 1

  Dar es saalam to Selous Game Reserve

  Pick up at Dar es Salaam then drive to Selous Game Reserve, in the southeast of Tanzania this park encompasses 54,600 sq km and it’s the largest game reserve in Africa, at least three times big as the Serengeti. It was named after the Victorian explorer Fredrick Courtney Selous.

  Created by the Germans in 1905, the park long attracted white big-game hunters interested in accumulating trophies. Although the animals are now protected, the park was listed as endangered in 2014. They are largely unaccustomed to man and have remained fairly timid.

  Formerly home to 10% of Africa’s entire Elephant population, Selous has lost 67% of its elephants due to poaching. It is classified as one of Tanzania’s if not Africa brutal killing fields. With packed lunch provided have an afternoon game drive.

• Day 2

  Selous Game Reserve

  After breakfast we will have a full day game drive with packed lunch provided at Selous National Park. The park has thousands of giraffe buffalo, hippopotamus and crocodile.

  The crocs here like to take it easy on the sandy banks of the Rufiji River- this is one of the longest in East, crossing the reserve from one end to the other. We can organize a boat ride here and guided walking safaris in the park.
