Day 01,02 & 03: Selous Game Reserve
Upon your arrival at Dar es Salaam Domestic Airport you will be met by a representative for your scheduled flight to Siwandu Airstrip in the Selous. Daily flights depart at 14:30. A representative from Sand Rivers will meet you at the airstrip for your game-drive to camp.

The Selous Game Reserve stretches across south east Tanzania. The largest game reserve in Africa, it covers an area of 45,000 square kilometers of true wilderness. The mighty Rufiji River cuts through the reserve in its journey to the Indian Ocean and feeds a myriad of lakes and waterways that provide habitat for a rich and diverse array of animals, birds, plants and fish. The reserve is home to over 50 species of large mammals incluing, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant. There are 450 species of bird and over 2,000 plants. It contains the world's largest population of elephant, buffalo, hippo and crocodile along with one of the last remaining populations of African Wild Dog. The ecosystems of the reserve (and particularly around Sand Rivers lodge) are so diverse that the Selous was designated a World Heritage Site in 1982.

Day 04, 05 & 06: Ruaha National Park
After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Ruaha Airstrip where a representative from Jongomero Camp will meet you for your game-drive to camp.
Three overnights at Jongomero Camp in a tent under thatch with a veranda and en-suite facilities. Accommodation is on a full board basis including scheduled activities. Activities include guided walks, game-drives in open 4x4 safari vehicles and river and fishing trips by boat

For anyone seeking a true African wilderness experience, a visit to Ruaha National Park is essential. Although the second largest in Tanzania, the reserve is perhaps the least well-known and yet to connoisseurs it is without doubt one of the most spectacular in Africa. Covering a conservation area of 10,300 square kilometers in the south-west of the country, Ruaha sprawls within and along the Great Rift Valley, covering a unique transition zone where the Eastern and Southern species of both fauna and flora meet against a dramatic topographical backdrop. This is also one of the few Tanzanian parks where sightings of the rarer antelope, such as the sable, the roan and both lesser & greater kudu, are a probability rather than a possibility. The proliferation of plains game in the park also ensures that the larger predators - leopard and large prides of lion - are unusually active. The bird life, too, is unparalleled with some 450 species recorded

Day 07: Dar es Salaam
Enjoy a game-drive and breakfast before your transfer to the airstrip for your scheduled flight to Dar es Salaam Domestic Airport. On arrival, at 14:00, our services end.
