7 – Days Wild South

7 Days Wild South Tanzania Safaris. A fascinating region of southern Tanzania and one of the best safari areas of the country. The region features two major wildlife reserves, Ruaha and Selous, which are certainly amongst the very top rank in East Africa and has its departure base in Dar es Salaam.

Itinerary

Day 1: Day 1: Fly to Selous Game Reserve

Stop At: Selous Game Reserve, Selous Game Reserve, Lindi Region
Pickup from your hotel in the early morning and transfer to Dar es Salaam Domestic Terminal for your charter flight to Selous Game Reserve. Arrival by early morning and pickup by your hotel in time for 2 shared game drives and lunch at the chosen property. As you fly over the Selous, you will see why this is considered one of Africa’s largest parks. Although a large area has been (unfortunately) set aside for hunting, there is still a lot to enjoy and wildlife to witness. The Rufiji River is teeming with hippo and crocodile, and the birdlife is fantastic. Lion sightings are very common as the opportunistic creatures tend to laze around the lakes waiting for animals coming to drink. One of the attractions of the park is the chance to encounter wild dog.

Day 7: Day 7: Fly to Ruaha National Park

Stop At: Ruaha National Park, Ruaha National Park, Iringa Region
On this day we suggest a very early wake up in order to do an early morning game drive (when the animals are more active) and see one of the best sunrises you’ll ever witness. It’s really one of the most beautiful experiences to have. After the game drive, we return to the camp for a rewarding breakfast and then proceed to the airstrip for your flight back to Dar es Salaam, or whatever your next amazing destination might be (i.e. Zanzibar). Alternatively, instead of this early morning game drive, you may choose to stay at the camp for a bit of relaxation.
