8 DAYS FLY SAFARI RUAHA AND SELOUS AND NYERERE NATIONAL PARK

 Selous Game Reserve renamed Nyerere national park and Ruaha National Park are the largest national parks and certainly the highlights of Tanzania’s South. They are located a great distance apart from each other and therefore it woud take too long do drive by car from one park to the other. For that reason we designed this safari combination with convenient and short inland flights. This safari route is often used as an extension of a safari to the northern parks.

 

This private safari offers you the flexibility to travel at your own pace, exactly the way you like it. You will have a private safari vehicle and guide.

The Rufiji River, which crosses the entire reserve, and the massive Stiegler Gorge are not to be missed!

A boat safari on the Rufiji River in Nyerere National Park is both relaxing and adventurous! The boat takes you over the river and to nearby lakes, allowing you to spot many animals that come to the water’s edge. Very common are giraffes, impalas, waterbucks, kudus and warthogs. Sometimes, also bathing elephants or crocodiles can be seen, and always, the many bird species sound their voices. The trip includes a picnic lunch on the shores of one of the lakes.
