Why this trip
Anyone arriving here first sits in a small aircraft: the bush flight from Dar es Salaam is part of the experience. Nyerere National Park, formerly Selous, is Africa's largest protected area, and its vastness makes the difference to other safari regions. The activity here is called water: on the Rufiji you glide by boat past hippos, crocodiles and birds, a calm way to experience nature. Added to this are game drives and accompanied bush walks, the walking distances are short, but intense.
Stiegler's Gorge and Lake Tagalala are destinations for day trips that combine landscape with wildlife viewing. As accommodation the Selous Safari Lodge and Africa Safari Selous are listed, both in the middle of the wilderness. The period from July to October is dry, the animals gather at the river. The flight time is approx.
9 to 11 hrs, usually with a change, and for Tanzania a visa is required (eVisa or on arrival), which you should check beforehand. Zanzibar, Tarangire and Arusha are neighbours for a further stage. How much boat, vehicle and walking you like is something you clarify in the video call.
