Why this trip
Anyone in Tanzania who does not want to follow the crowd finds in Nyerere National Park an alternative: one of the largest protected areas in Africa, formerly called Selous, with rivers, lakes and wide areas on which only a few vehicles travel. For a lifelong wish of a safari that looks for calm, it is a strong counter-proposal to the northern route. On the Rufiji a boat safari can be undertaken, which gives a different view of hippos and crocodiles than the jeep drive. Stiegler's Gorge is a gorge that links geology and history, and at Lake Tagalala birds and game gather.
The Selous Safari Lodge and Africa Safari Selous come into question as accommodation. From July to October is the dry season, and the animals are easier to find. The bush flight from Dar es Salaam saves long drives but depends on luggage weight. Zanzibar, Tarangire and Ngorongoro are neighbours, and many add a few days of beach to the wilderness.
Because in the bush distances are short but flights are limited, this trip needs more preparation. Once in a Lifetime clarifies with you in the video call which pace suits you.
