    Itinerary information

    Your thrilling safari adventure begins when you arrive in Tanzania at Dar Es Salaam Airport. Meet your representative and transfer to the Selous Safari Camp, your home for the next two days. Ideally located in the spectacular Nyerere National Park, this is the perfect base from which to explore Tanzania’s least known, yet wildest, game reserve.

    Spend the coming days going on game drives to see the great elephant herds and visiting the Rufiji River, the largest river in East Africa and home to the largest crocodile and hippo populations on the continent. After a day of river safaris and bush walks, return to the camp to relax.

    Siwandu Camp is located within an open palm forest on the shores of Lake Nzerakera, giving you the opportunity to sit in your veranda and watch the sun set over the beautiful surrounding landscape.
