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.

  • 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 Safari Camp

Selous Game Reserve

Selous Safari Camp has an idyllic situation on the fringes of Lake Nzerakera.

The camp has two large thatch bomas housing a dining room and living area/bar. Each is raised up on stilts which gives spectacular views across the water, and there is a shady swimming pool to cool off in.

Each of the nine spacious tents is raised on wooden decks under high thatch roofs and has maximum privacy. Inside, not a detail has been overlooked. There are large comfortable beds, wardrobes and fans. En suite bathrooms have hot outdoor showers, basins and flush loos.

There are spacious verandas with comfortable chairs - perfect for relaxing in on lazy afternoons, and as the camp is not fenced you will often see antelope grazing in camp and walking along the pathways in front of you.

There are plenty of well organised activities from Selous Safari Camp. Half and full day game drives on open 4WDs are led by professional guides.

Guided walking safaris are a great way to learn about tracking some of the larger animals, as well as taking time to notice the smaller creatures that you can often overlook on a game drive. The boat trips in small boats are a delight, particularly for bird lovers.

If you want to try your hand at fishing, a boat and guide will take you out for a couple of hours on the lake.
