Here, you will explore diverse landscapes ranging from open savannah and woodlands to wetlands and the mighty Rufiji River, which is the lifeline of the park. This safari is perfect for travelers seeking a more exclusive and authentic wilderness setting, with opportunities to enjoy classic game drives, scenic boat safaris, and even guided walking experiences. Expect close encounters with elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species, all in a शांत and natural environment that showcases Tanzania’s raw beauty.

Arrival in Dar es Salaam and Transfer to Selous/Nyerere National Park

Our driver-guide will pick you up from Dar es Salaam and drive you to Selous Game Reserve with picnic lunch to be served on the way. We arrive at the camp early in the afternoon, settle in, and we head for a boat safari along the mighty Rufiji River. The river is formed by the confluence of the Kilombero and Luwegu rivers. It is approximately 600 kilometers (370mi) long and here you will see plentiful hippos and crocodiles. The big herds of Tanzanian Elephants are also attracted by the River Rufiji that flows through the reserve. Some 350 bird species can also be found in the Selous Game Reserve.

Other species commonly seen are lions, wild dogs, buffaloes, bushbuck, impalas, elands, baboons, zebras and greater kudus.

Rufiji River Camp

Escape to Rufiji River Camp, where comfort meets the untamed wilderness of Southern Tanzania.

Perhaps you’ll see the world’s largest population of endangered African Wild Dog in this ‘Big Five’ national park. Welcome to Africa’s biggest conservation area.
