South Tanzania Safari (8 days)

8 days duration

Many of the animals and birds seen on this safari are quite different from those seen in the greater Serengeti / Masai Mara / Ngorongoro, making this a good option to add to a visit to those areas.

At Dar es-Salaam or Zanzibar Airport you connect with your flight to the Selous Game Reserve. On arrival you are met and taken to your selected lodge for a wonderful two-night stay. (LD)
 
Day 2 Selous Game Reserve
 
The Selous Game Reserve is one of the largest game reserves in the world and boasts a good variety of animals.
