Secret Southern Tanzania, Selous Nyerere and Saadani
Whilst the famous parks of the north like Serengeti and the
Ngorongoro Crater offer superb wildlife opportunities, not
many people know that there are some superb secret gems in the south of
Tanzania from parks the size of Ireland where you can be out all day and never
see another human soul to parks that allow you to walk deserted beaches for
miles and meet nothing except hyena tracks and baboons.
Saadani National Park
is the only wildlife park in East Africa where the Indian ocean can be lapping
your feet just a short walk from a green turtle nest, a feeding elephant or a
lion’s den.
Selous Nyerere is Africa’s largest park, offering space to explore
and see almost no one. It also offers the chance to explore
its bountiful lakes by boat.
The road to Selous Nyerere
DAY
05
Depart after an early breakfast by car to the UNESCO world heritage site of Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve), the largest reserve in Africa. This incredible wilderness is full of wildlife and the best place to see wild dogs. It has fabulous elephant herds, giraffe, zebra, impala and larger antelope such as Sable, Hartebeest & Kudu and healthy lion prides as well as plentiful hippo and crocs out on the lakes. Arrive at Sable Mountain Lodge for dinner.
Foot safari & Maasai Village
DAY
06
Wake up at first light for a walking safari, exploring on foot the Miombo woodland around Sable Mountain and following trails used by buffalo and
elephants amongst other animals. The walk also heads down the Sable river where
black & white colobus monkeys call out from the massive sterculia trees
overhead.
In the late afternoon, head away from the park
to visit a community of Maasai, long term friends of ours, who carry on their
traditional way of life along the park boundary.
