YOUR ITINERARY

You will see: African hunting dogs, game drives, boat safari, hippo, crocs, birdlife, foot safari, Maasai village, local people...

Despite being the continent's largest game reserve, Selous welcomes a surprisingly small number of visitors. A designated UNESCO World Heritage Site the size of Switzerland, it possesses a large and diverse amount of wildlife and is an important refuge for elephants, buffalo, wild dogs, hippo, crocodiles, birdlife and some of the country's last remaining black rhinos. You'll also get to visit local Maasai villages and learn about their traditional culture.

4 Days, 3 Nights

Awake early to a dawn chorus and spectacular views from your terrace. After a tea or coffee, head into the reserve as dawn breaks for a full day game drive and a boat safari on Lake Tagalala. There is nothing quite like sitting with your packed breakfast amongst the huge hippo pods, crocs and amazing birdlife on the lake. Return to the lodge for a late lunch and relax by the pool or visit the tree house and waterhole for more wildlife viewing opportunities.(Packed breakfast, L,D)

After breakfast, transfer to the Matambwe airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar. (B)

Take a morning flight from Zanzibar to the Matambwe airstrip in Selous, the best place on the planet to see African hunting dogs (wild dogs). On arrival at the airstrip in Selous, meet your guide and transfer to the friendly and relaxed Sable Mountain Lodge. Relax with a drink before dinner. (L,D)

YOUR LOCATION

THE PARK

Selous Game Reserve is famed for their healthy African Hunting Dog population. These dogs are one of the most endangered mammals in the world. They have suffered from habitat loss & human conflict across Africa, but have a haven here in Selous. These highly social animals, with very strong social bonds are almost never seen alone. Very unusually for a carnivore; once their pups can eat solids they feed first from a kill.

You will see plenty of elephants in Selous but you will never get bored of watching these giants calmly stroll around the bush on their constant mission to feed their enormous appetites. The distances they have to travel and the amount of food they have to consume is staggering.

The size of Switzerland, the Selous Game Reserve is the largest in Africa and harbours one of the most significant concentrations of elephants, black rhino & cheetah on the planet. There is also great wildlife viewing of many other animals including Leopards. It also has an exceptionally high variety of habitats including woodland, grassland and swamps. The Northern sector of this UNESCO world heritage site comprises 12% of the reserve and is set aside for photographic tourism.
