Southern Tanzania Safari and Beach

Summary Of The Route and Costs

Journey into the Africa of a bygone era where you are more likely to see huge herds of animals rather than huge hoards of game vehicles. Enjoy spectacular sunsets with the background music of hippos grunting and a plethora of bird song, Then fly across to Zanzibar for a 7 night beach break along a pristine and untouched beach which has been voted as one of the 30 top island beaches in the world.

Few other safaris in Tanzania evoke the romance, mystique and spiritual delight of the African bush as one in the Selous Game Reserve, where you stay for the first 3 nights of this holiday. Selous is famed for its walking and boating safaris - add on the vehicle safari and the experience is complete. Rufiji River Camp offers morning and afternoon game drives in an open 4x4 vehicle, boat safaris on the Rufiji River where you share the waterways with many water birds, pods of hippos and floats of crocodiles, or guided walking safaris through magnificent scenery conducted by an experienced guide. Return every evening to your classic safari styled tent with views up and down the Rufiji River.

You then fly to Ruaha for 3 more nights on safari, in a lodge set on the river bank. Ruaha National Park has a huge diversity of species boasting both the greater and lesser kudu, the striped and spotted hyaena as well as roan and sable antelope. The lion population is now so large that they have gained film rights for their prowess at hunting giraffe, which is not their traditional fare. The Park’s rugged rocky outcrops are home to a healthy population of leopards and guests may also be privileged to see wild dogs as well as cheetah, jackals, bat-eared foxes, genet and civet. Many elephant herds are seen close to the lodge and throughout the Park.

Finally, you head to Zanzibar to round off your trip. For centuries the island of Zanzibar has evoked a mystical and magical dream. With its beautiful Zanzibari decor, Breezes Beach Club is the ideal choice to experience this for yourself. Stunning carvings, glistening brass and rich fabrics creates an elegant and unique atmosphere. Snorkel off the beach, or take a trip to the nearby coral lagoon. Reef walks, diving, windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding and sailing are just some of the other activities you can enjoy.
