Welcome to Enchanting-Africa! Our tour manager will receive you at the airport in Dar es Salaam and take you to your hotel for check in.

Located in a quiet bay off the Indian Ocean coast, Dar es Salaam has become a prosperous centre of the entire East African region. Its bustling harbour is the main port in Tanzania and a visit to the daily fish market is a memorable experience.
Explore the remnants of colonial presence, both German and British, which can still be seen in the landmarks and architecture around the city. The National Museum, the Village Museum, and many colourful markets are well worth a visit. Numerous historical landmarks, including St. Joseph’s Cathedral, the White Father’s Mission House, the Botanical Gardens, and the old State House make for an interesting walking tour around the waterfront and city centre.

Accommodation: Royal Palm Mövenpick or Sea Cliff

Morning Flight Dar es Salaam – Selous (ca. 45min)

Selous Game Reserve is Africa’s largest protected wildlife reserve, and due to its remote location, it has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s parks.
The Rufiji River is the striking feature of the game reserve and home to a plethora of varied water and bird life. Along its shores, hippos sleep languidly in the mud and sun themselves and crocodiles are common along the riverbanks. Boating safaris offer you a chance to see the diverse life along the river up close and walking safaris and fly camping add a sense of adventure to your African experience.

Accommodation: Beho Beho or Sand Rivers Selous

Afternoon Flight Selous - Ruaha (40 min)

Ruaha National Park is a remote bastion of spectacular wilderness, undisturbed wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. With herds of more than 10,000 elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species, Ruaha’s offers limitless wilderness. The Great Ruaha River meanders through its borders. On its banks, the game viewing is spectacular and boating safaris offer a great alternative to wildlife viewing. Due to its remote location, Ruaha National Park is largely unexplored and a safari there often has the feel of a private adventure and a unique experience.
