Overview
With Off We Go Safaris, 6 Days safari in Selous and Mikumi Safari is probably the only classic Safari to Southern Circuit of Tanzania and we offer you the best of it. Starting and ending at Dar es Salaam this safari takes you to the Greater Selous Ecosystem and gives you the rare chance to experience real African Wilderness in the few untouched areas of Tanzania. Unlike the packed Tourist Areas of the North during the peak safari seasons, this safari gives you the opportunity to be in the secluded middle of an African wilderness with the whole Savannah almost for your own. This is the best place to be if you want that ‘away from the crowds’ safari.
Selous and Mikumi Safari from Zanzibar
The same safari can start and end at Zanzibar as we can also arrange a fly in safari straight into Selous Game Reserve. If you are flying from Zanzibar to the Selous Game Reserve you have two options to choose from. You can either choose to fly from Zanzibar to Selous Game Reserve where you will meet up with our safari guide or you can fly early in the morning to Dar es Salaam to start the safari by road together with our safari guide. The costs for these options differ. We normally help in arranging flights for those who would like to fly to Selous or to Dar es Salaam to start this 6Days Selous and Mikumi Safari. Let us know if you would like us to help in arranging your flight to Selous from Zanzibar Island.
Itinerary
On your arrive at the Kilimanjaro International Airport you are welcomed by our HTT-Safaris representative who will guide you into a waiting vehicle and transfer you to the white sand Hotel in Dares Salaam. The real gem of the East Coast of Africa! The White Sands Beach Resort is situated on an idyllic stretch of private beach front, just 25kms North of Dar es Salaam city center, making it the gateway to a unique East African experience!
Immerse yourself in the welcoming culture of Africa whilst you enjoy sincere, heartfelt GUEST service.
Our representative will have a short safari briefing session with you at the lodge and leave you to relax and have dinner.
On this first day of your safari you will be picked from your hotel or Airport in Dar es salaam and start on your way to Selous Game Reserve. It is relatively far and you will have a picnic lunch en route and arriving later in the afternoon you will proceed with your first game drive as you drive to the lodge/tented camp. Overnight at Selous Tented Camp.
Lunch box and dinner included.
On the following two days you will spend the days doing game drives in the plains of Selous Game Reserve. Selous Game Reserve is reputed to be best the off the beaten track wildlife safari destination away from the crowds. The Game Reserve is the largest Game Reserve in Africa with is area being more than the size of Switzerland and is full of wild animals and birds’ species. Apart from the lions, leopards, giraffes, elephants, hippos, impala, hartebeests, pythons, elands, but it is the rare wild dogs that will most maze you. With a little bit of luck you will be able to see these rare incredible hunters of the African Wilderness. Unlike the Northern parts of Tanzania where animals and birds are more habituated, animals here are more timid. Selous Game Reserve has a recorded 350 different species of birds recorded. In the afternoons we can go for a boat safari in the Rufiji River and on another afternoon it will be time to go for a walking safari guided by an armed ranger.
Overnight at Selous Tented Camp. All meals included.
After breakfast at the lodge/camp we check out and proceed by crossing the north of Selous and drive to Mikumi National Park. On arrival we will go on our first game drive in Mikumi National Park until later in the afternoon when we drive to the lodge or tented camp for dinner and overnight. Mikumi National Park is relatively less developed infrastructure but that makes the park even better because that has helped in preserving the wilderness in its natural state for many years. There is an option of doing a walking safari guided by an armed ranger if you wish.
Overnight at Tanswiss Lodge or Mikumi Adventure Lodge. All meals included.
On this day after breakfast we continue with game drives around Mikumi National Park with options to do game drives or go for a walking safari until noon when we drive out of the park and head back to Dar es Salaam, or take a flight back to Zanzibar Island. Breakfast and lunch included.
