Extraordinary Ruaha & Selous

Safari summary

Join us on a remarkable 5-Days Signature Ruaha & Selous Safari adventure combining two of Tanzania’s most untouched and wildlife-rich parks—Ruaha National Park and Nyerere National Park (Selous Game Reserve). Your journey begins with a flight from Zanzibar or Dar es Salaam into the vast, untamed wilderness of Ruaha. Known as a predator’s paradise, Ruaha is home to thriving populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African wild dogs. With far fewer crowds and expansive landscapes, you’ll enjoy immersive game drives and guided nature walks while staying in the intimate Kigelia Ruaha Camp, tucked away in the heart of the bush.

After two thrilling nights in Ruaha, the safari continues with a scenic flight to the iconic Nyerere National Park. Spanning wetlands, rivers, and woodlands, Selous offers a contrast of lush beauty and water-based experiences. At the luxurious Sand Rivers Camp, you’ll unwind between exhilarating boat safaris and classic game drives. The park’s lifeline—the Rufiji River—offers up-close encounters with hippos, crocodiles, elephants, and a rich diversity of birdlife.

This signature itinerary is designed for travellers seeking privacy, variety, and deep immersion in the African wilderness.
