On this trip split your time between the Selous Game Reserve, in southeast Tanzania, and Saadani National Park, on the northern coastline. Also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Selous covers an area four times larger than the Serengeti and is one of the last remaining places in the world where one can see the endangered wild dog. On the contrary, Saadani is much smaller but provides both the experience of a wildlife safari and the white sandy beaches along the Indian Ocean.

Besides the wild dog population, Selous is also known for its huge population of elephants, but it also offers a large selection of plains game, buffalos, lions and other predators. The Rufiji River runs through Selous and is the life blood of the region. It is home to many hippos and Nile crocodiles. The river provides excellent game viewing, especially in the dry season when animals congregate along the banks. One can also do river safaris, walking safaris, night drives and fishing expeditions. Popular catches include tiger and cat fish.

North of Dar es Salaam, the beeches have been described as some of the best kept holiday secrets in the world, where all of the accommodation fronts the beach. Activities include superb diving, snorkeling, dhow sailing, fishing and kayaking as well as endless walks along deserted beaches. The coastline also has convenient access to Saadani National Park, which is a great safari experience on its own.

With the Wami River running through the National Park to the sea, it is a breeding ground for hippos, Nile crocodiles, fish eagles, tiger & cat fish and a plethora of other fresh water marine life. A river safari is an absolute must do. However it is also home to Wildebeest, antelope, duiker, reedbuck, zebra, giraffe and baboons whilst populations of buffalo and elephant laze in the shade or in the wetlands seeking shade from the sun. Predators come out at night to hunt and these include lion, leopard, mongoose and others
