Boating explorations along the Rufiji River are a wild and adventurous safari experience as can be had, cruising amongst hippos, crocodiles and a full checklist of water birds, and getting closer to the attendant wildlife that drinks from the bank
Trip Information: Selous is the largest game reserve in Africa covering an area the size of Switzerland, Selous is possibly Africa's last great wilderness. Despite its size, however, this UNESCO World Heritage site has only a handful of high-end safari camps, allowing it to maintain a low-impact exclusivity that is granted by few parks elsewhere.
Opportunities for foot safaris and game walks, boat explorations and the classic 4WD safari in open vehicles add a further unique element to the Selous safari and ensure its reputation for pure bush adventure remains untarnished by volume.
Selous stands unique amongst the major safari destinations of Africa in offering a wider range of safaris than the traditional 4WD-based vehicle safari. Boating explorations along the Rufiji River are a wild and adventurous safari experience as can be had, cruising amongst hippos, crocodiles and a full checklist of water birds, and getting closer to the attendant wildlife that drinks from the bank, as any other method would allow.
Elsewhere, the game walks with armed ranger and guide allow a privileged viewpoint of the game that teems along the riverine

Comment:
I am very happy for you to leave such feedback on your website. It is thanks to our trust in your feedback after all that we convinced ourselves to go ahead with this tour and company so hope other tourists can feel the same when they will come to choosing their own Safaris!
The safari arranged was simply great and very well organised from the first email correspondence we had back in November/December.
Mejah and the driver Kenny were first class and very valuable contributors to providing all the guidance and assistance we needed throughout the safari experience and it was only a pity we couldn't make use of the boat Safari since the Rufiji was too flooded. I will definitely recommend to use the same company in future.
Thank you ever so much for your assistance in making this such a great experience for us
