RUAHA-MIKUMI-SELOUS 9 DASY 8 NIGHTS

 

Selous Game Reserve:

 

Located in southeast Tanzania in a remote and little-visited part of the country, the Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected wildlife reserve. Due to its remote location, and because it is most easily accessible only by small aircraft, the Selous Game Reserve has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s national parks. The Rufigi River Delta is a striking feature of the game reserve. It connects the Great Ruaha River with the Rufigi River and not far from the park boundaries empties out into the Indian Ocean along the Tanzanian Coast. Along its shores, opulent hippos sleep languidly in the mud and sun themselves, mouths wide open, as the river passes by. 7 hours from Dar Es Salaam or 45 minutes by air. Best time: June to February. Closed March to May.
