A prefect start or end to a longer safari, for ideas to combine this safari with longer ideas just get in touch.A safari for the adventurous. Exploring the incredible wilderness of the Selous on foot, staying in very simple dome tents which are packed up each day and moved to a new site. These walking safaris are lead by a highly experienced guide and offer an out standing African wilderness experience  in an area of outstanding beauty and home to truly outstanding wildlife.

Walks are concentrated around the early morning and late afternoons with opportunities for fishing and relaxing in the shade, perhaps by a waterhole, soaking up the smells and sounds of Africa. There will be approximately 10-12kms per day of easy walking.
A fully serviced fly-camp with an experience support crew to move the camp, take care of chores and to provide delicious food, cold drinks & hot showers throughout the safari. Accommodation includes large mosquito nets with bedrolls, shared bathrooms with bucket showers.
Game viewing highlights will include large herds of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo.  Hippos and crocs on the rivers and lakes, good elephant sightings and great birding.

The safari begins in Dar Es Salaam where you will be met and transfered to a flight in to the Selous. Your first afternoon and night will be spent at the Classic Luxury safari camp "Sand River" enjoying the very comfortable yet wild syurrounding and getting out in to the bush on a game drive before Dinner.

The next day see's the Walking safari heading off for the next four nights traversing the mangnificent African land scape in the company of just a small group (typically between 4 and 6) guided in an informative and relaxed way by your experienced and knowledgeable professional Safari guides.

ACCOMMODATION - the fly-camps are simple yet well-equipped with mosquito net tents, comfortable bedrolls, and a dome tent set at the rear for dressing, and storing of luggage. There is a shared long-drop toilet, and a safari style bucket shower with hot and cold water on request.

MEALS A full breakfast, light lunch, and three-course dinner is served daily. Each spot is chosen for its surrounding views, or for the game in the area, so there is always something to see.

HIGHLIGHTS - experiencing the Selous Game Reserve, the largest in Africa, on foot. Walking through magical and diverse landscapes, and seeing thing not always visible from a vehicle. View large numbers of zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant, hippos and crocodiles. There can be good sightings of lion and leopard sometimes in the early mornings, and this is a good way to see wild dog.
