Safari & beaches in remote Southern Tanzania
Dar es Salaam - Selous - Ruaha - Ras Kutani – Dar es Salaam
Day 1 - 3 Selous
Delhi

Begin your journey on a scenic 45 minute flight to Selous which will give you a wonderful birds’ eye perspective of the many waterways of Africa’s largest protected wildlife reserve.

Due to its remote location, Selous has remained one of the untouched gems of Tanzania’s parks. Boating safaris offer visitors a chance to see the diverse life along the Rufiji river up close and walking safaris and fly camping add a sense of adventure to the African experience.

Decide each day whether you prefer an early bush walk followed by a game drive and a romantic sundowner, would you rather have a sumptuous breakfast and go for a full day game drive or would like to rest and only enjoy a leisurely boat safari and watch a spectacular sunset with your favourite drink next to a noisy hippo family?

Accommodation: : Lake Manze / Selous Safari Camp
Day 4 - 6 : Ruaha
Delhi

A 1.5 hours flight further westward over gorgeous mountainous landscape brings you to the remote Ruaha National Park .

Ruaha National Park is a remote bastion of true wilderness, undisturbed wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. With large herds of elephants, vast concentrations of buffalo, gazelle, and over 400 bird species. 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.

Enjoy game drives with rarely seeing any other vehicles and explore the rugged landscapes of Ruaha on beautiful bush walks.

Accommodation: Mdonya Old River / Jongomero
Day 7 - 11 : Ras Kutani

Enjoy a beautiful flight over the expansive, wild and remote mountainous terrain of Southern Tanzania to the Indian Ocean Coast (2.5 hours).

Approximately 35 km south of Dar es Salaam, Ras Kutani is accessible by air or road. The shoreline along Ras Kutani comprises wide sandy beaches, backed by palm trees and at intervals by small cliffs and rocky outcrops.

Unlike many locations in East Africa, the beach here at Ras Kutani is not generally used by local people, since there are no villages in the immediate vicinity. The freshwater lagoon on the landward side of the beach and the forested lagoon at the shores contrast with the open seaward side where the waves of the Indian Ocean wash against an endless beach under a broad blue sky.

Take a walk along the beautiful beach without being hassled by anyone. enjoy swimming at all tides and snorkelling right from the beach, explore the coastline in a kayak or on horseback or simply enjoy the beautiful views of the turquoise sea with a book and your favourite.

Accommodation: Ras Kutani
Day 12 : Dar es Salaam

Enjoy a last wonderfully relaxing morning at Ras Kutani before driving back to Dar es Salaam for your onward journey or your flight back home.
