Reasons To
Visit Tanzania

  • Beaches

    It is extremely easy to add some beach relaxation in Zanzibar after a tiring safari on the mainland; the beaches are stunning and diving is excellent. You don't have to travel far either as the island is only a 30 minute flight from Dar Es Salaam. Tanzania is therefore the ideal location to combine a safari and beach break.

    Beaches

  • Big Cats & Safari Wildlife

    Tanzania has some of Africa's most famous and best national parks and reserves where you are guaranteed fantastic big cat sightings. The Serengeti, Selous and the Crater are just some of the best game viewing areas to visit.

  • Birds

    Tanzania has more than 1,000 species of birds and some spectacular places to view them. Lake Natron is also the only known breeding ground for East Africa's millions of lesser flamingos which cover the lake between August and October.

  • Chimpanzees

    The Mahale Mountains - towering almost 2km above the shore of Lake Tanganyika are home to some of the last remaining wild chimpanzees. There are currently around 900 which are habituated to humans, and tracking them is a magical experience.

  • Great Migration

    One of the highlights of the Serengeti National park is the great annual migration which passes through this amazing wilderness. Up to 1.8 million wildebeest and zebra have been counted doing their annual trip in search of the sweet grasses and the rains.

  • Local Culture

    Tanzania has an evocative mix of people and cultures with 120 ethnic groups making up the diverse population. The largest group are the Sukuma but perhaps the most memorable are the Maasai who you will often see in Northern Tanzania herding their cattle, goats and sheep.

Selous Riverside Safari Camp

Selous Game Reserve

Offer available: June half-term on Safari in Tanzania: 10 days from £2,565 per person, saving up to £275 per personMore details

Selous Riverside Safari Camp comprises 10 tented chalets and has a wonderful location on the bank of the Rufiji River.

The tents are spacious and colourfully furnished and are built on raised platforms with thatched roofs. All are en suite with running hot and cold water and flush toilets. Each has a shady verandah which is perfect for relaxing across the heat of the day and watching game action down by the river.

The camps' dining deck looks right over the river and breakfast time is great for spotting hippo and crocodile in the water. There is also a shady pool area, again with views over the river, which provides a lovely respite from the heat of the day in between game activities.

The camp is situated just outside the Selous Game Reserve, but all activities take place in the reserve which is a 10 minute drive away. Guests can choose from game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, boat trips on the Rufiji River and guided walks.

There are also opportunities for cultural tours to local villages.
