Day 1: Dar Es Salaam – Ruaha National Park

After you arrival in Dar Es Salaam (you might need to overnight there after your international flight) you will be boarding the flight to Ruaha National Park. Accommodation at the selected camp and you will be experiencing your first safari in the afternoon. Large areas of Ruaha are unexplored and undeveloped, one of the park management’s goals is to preserve as much of the territory as possible in a pristine and undisturbed state. The landscape is various, from the band of green that clings to the banks of the Great Ruaha River as it winds its way through the rocky outcrops and mountains, to the arid scrublands and grassland to lush green leaves and grasses once the rains begin. Dinner and overnight stay at the lodge.

The Selous Game Reserve, covering over 45.000 square kilometres, is amongst the largest protected areas in Africa and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982. The reserve has an exceptionally high variety of habitats including the Miombo woodlands, open grasslands and riparian forests and swamps. At the heart of the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania’s largest river, the Rufiji, forms a complex network of channels, lakes and swamps that create one of the most outstanding ecosystems in East Africa. The river splits the reserve into two different parts: the Northern Selous and the Southern Selous. A large numbers of elephants, black rhinos, cheetahs, Maasai giraffes, hippos and crocodiles live in this immense sanctuary. Some areas of the reserve are still greatly untouched, especially in the southern part where hunting is unfortunately still allowed.
