Day 3: Zanzibar - Selous
Quick
morning flight over
Africa's largest delta
into The Selous.
Africa's largest game
park (22,000 sq. miles)
is one of its wildest,
composed of
ever
changing water courses,
marshes and enormous
tracks of harsh bush and
sandy plains. Most
visitors to this wild
section of central
Tanzania fly from place
to place, but when you
arrive, today, a special
safari vehicle and
driver/guide will meet
you and stay with you
for the entire
expedition here. You'll
travel fantastic paths
into this little visited
part of Africa that few
visitors see. Two nights
in a small, private
luxury camp. |
Day 4: Selous
Game
viewing in The Selous is
by vehicle, foot and by
boat. Elephants,
giraffe, buffalo, a
great variety of
antelope and rare game
like sable and wild dog
is regularly seen. |
Day 5: Selous - Uluguru
Mountains - Mikumi
Leave
early for the
magnificent
drive
over the spectacular
Uluguru Mountains
onto the
central Tanzanian
plateau. Outstanding
scenery to the important
town of Morogoro where
you enjoy lunch. It's
then a quick drive along
good roads into Mikumi
National Park for an
overnight at the famous
Fox Lodge.
|
Day 6: Mikumi (Udzungwa)
Mikumi is
an interesting although
rather small national
park with exciting game.
Today, you can opt to
explore the park on game
drives, or take a
day-trip to the fabulous
Udzungwa National Park,
a striking highland
forest only recently
explored. A number of
unusual primates,
including the
red
Colobus and Sangey
Mangabey
are found
here. There are no
roads, and the
relatively steep climb
into the park is
challenging. Overnight
at Fox Lodge in Mikumi.
|
Day 7: Mikumi - Iringa -
Ruaha
One of
Africa's most stunning
drives occurs this
morning as the new paved
road weaves through
unpopulated and
mountainous areas
of
central Tanzania. The
density of baobab is
unbelievable. Lunch is
taken at the important
central city of Iringa
with time to explore the
little museum
commemorating African's
struggles against the
German colonists.
Continue in the
afternoon into one of
the most fabulous parks
in Tanzania. Two nights
at the Fox Lodge in
Ruaha, beautifully
situated along the Great
Ruaha River.
|
Day 8: Ruaha
This
marvelous, huge park is
composed of a
series of
great sand rivers
that
plough through dense
woodland with wide sand
embankments. It's
particularly famous for
its elephant, but the
amount of all types of
game is impressive, and
rarer game like kudu is
as common as gazelle in
the north. |
