4 Day Selous Game Reserve Safari

This 4 day safari to the Selous Game Reserve, departs from Dar es Salaam by vehicle and spends 3 nights at the Rufiji River Camp. It is a safari well worth doing if you find yourself in Dar es Salaam and have just a few days spare.

Day 1 - Dar es Salaam to Selous Game Reserve

Day 2 - On safari at Rufiji River Camp, Selous Game Reserve

Rufiji River Camp

Enjoy a full day game viewing in the reserve. Participate in some classic – style game drives - exploring the bush in open 4 x 4 vehicles.

Day 3 - On safari at Rufiji River Camp, Selous Game Reserve

After breakfast, accompany an armed ranger on a walking safari in the reserve. The sights and sounds (and smells) of a walking safari are a special treat that will live long in your memory. The thrill of creeping up to animals to shoot them with your camera is a great experience.
