The itinerary…
Day 1: Arriving in Tanzania

Double tent at Lake Manze Camp
Fly into Dar Es Salam Airport from the UK/USA airport of your choice, this itinerary does not include international flights so that we can tailor make it to your needs.

Days 2 and 3: Explore the Selous Game Reserve

River Safari and Lake Manze Camp
Lake Manze Camp offers an authentic safari experience, set in the heart of the National Park what the camp lacks in luxury it makes up for in excitement.

Dining at Mdonya Old River Camp
After an early start return to the airstrip and catch the 7.45am light aircraft flight to the Ruaha National Park.
