Roho Ya Selous
The Selous is renowned for the diversity of activities on offer, spend your days alternating between them you will experience the bush, and the animals which live here in so many magical ways.
An early morning bush walk, accompanied by an armed ranger, will allow you to immerse yourself in the Selous’ rugged natural environment and to appreciate the small details.- Taking to the water by boat, you can pass close to pods of hippo and crocodile along the bank, and there are also some fine spots for fishing.
- Game drives are a must, it’s during these excursions that you are most likely to encounter the big predators. The vehicles are open sided and have tiered seating, so you’re guaranteed an uninterrupted view.
- The whole family can join the adventure with a dedicated family tent and no age limits on game drives and boat safaris (there is a minimum of 16 years on walking tours) There is even the option of hiring a private vehicle for a family safari.
