Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1: Dar es salaam to Selous Ngalawa Tented Camp

Morning  pickup from your hotel in Dar es Salaam and drive to Selous Game  Reserve. You will have a picnic lunch on the way and the journey will  take 5 to 6 hours through some of the unexplored and untouched areas in  Tanzania. In the afternoon embark on a boat safari, where you’ll admire  hippos and crocodiles in their natural habitat ad get close to riverine  bird species. Stay at Ngalawa Camp, just outside the reserve gate.

Day 2: Full day game drive inside Selous Game Reserve

After  an early breakfast, you will depart on a full day game drive in the  reserve. Selous is home to a large population of elephants, big numbers  of buffalo and wild dogs. Other species commonly seen are lion,  bushbuck, impala, giraffe, eland, baboon, zebra, Kudus and crocodile.  Dinner and overnight will be at Ngalawa Camp.

Day 3: Selous to Mikumi National Park with game viewing en route

After  breakfast, you will go for a walking safari, accompanied by rangers  armed for about two hours. The aim is not to walk up to potentially  dangerous game, but rather to be able to get a more intimate feel for  the bush and take a closer look at some of the smaller but equally  important members of the eco-system. After the walk, game viewing  en-route to Mikumi National Park. Check-in at Mikumi Bastian Camp.

Day 4: Full day drive in Mikumi National Park

After  an early breakfast, you will go on a full day game drive in the park.  The Mikumi flood plain is the main feature of the park along with the  bordering mountain ranges.

Day 5: Maasai Village visit then drive to Dar es Salaam
