Selous Game Reserve Selous Game Reserve is named after Frederick Courtney Selous, the famous 19th century hunter and explorer. It is the largest wildlife sanctuary on the African continent covering a staggering 54,600 square kilometres consisting of vast tracts of wilderness containing perhaps the greatest concentration of big game left on earth. Only in its northern extremity in the area of forest set around the mighty Rufi ji River has the Selous suffered the incursion of man, and it is still home to a bewildering array of birds and mammals. This is the Africa experienced by many of its early explorers - raw and untouched. Selous Safari Camp MID This camp is on the shores of Lake Tagalala close to the Rufi ji River. Each of the 12 safari tents is on a timber platform offering great views of the lake. It offers good facilities; both the bar and dining room are raised on wooden platforms above the ground. The camp has a good- sized swimming pool - very welcome as it can get pretty hot in the Selous! Rufi ji River Camp MID Set in a fantastic location high on a bank above the Rufi ji River, the views from the front of the camp are truly wonderful. This rustic camp has 20 tents all with thatched roofs, stone fl oors and the occasional piece of carved furniture - for those who want an authentic experience, going back to Tanzania's roots. Beho Beho HIGH This luxurious camp is in the highlands of the park. Each large open- sided stone cottage overlooks the vast wilderness of the Selous below. There is also a swimming pool deck and dining area specially designed to catch cooling breezes. If you want a really remote experience then fl y- camping is also possible from here for those staying a little longer. This camp appeals to serious safari afi cionados looking for something different.

Ruaha National Park Ruaha is Tanzania's second largest park and one of its wildest. Only the area around the Ruaha River has been developed for tourism, and because of its remote location even this sees relatively few visitors. Activities here centre around the river, which during the dry season is very low, with the remaining rock pools swarming with crocodiles and hippos. The birdlife is amazing here with some 450 species having been recorded and it is known for its large elephant and Cape buffalo herds, greater and lesser kudu, and sable and roan antelope. There are high numbers of predators including lion, leopard, cheetah and the increasingly rare wild dog. Ruaha River Lodge MID This was the fi rst permanent camp to be built in Ruaha and it occupies a unique position on the river bank cleverly built around a rocky outcrop. Each of the thatched cottages is constructed from local stone. Mwagusi MID Mwagusi is a small tented camp on the banks of the dry Mwagusi river. There are just ten well- appointed tents here, each under thatch to keep them cool and blending with the surrounding bush. Food is freshly prepared and delicious, and the guiding from here is superb. Walking safaris are a key feature of a stay at Mwagusi. Jongomero Camp HIGH This is the only camp in the remote south- western corner of the park which ensures unmatched privacy and a true wilderness experience. Accommodation at Jongomero comprises eight large and well-appointed tented suites, all built on raised wooden platforms and under enormous thatched roofs that also encompass a spacious private veranda. They offer game- drives and walking safaris with expert naturalist guides. Kigelia Camp HIGH OUR CHOICE Set in a secluded grove of sausage trees, high on the banks of the Ifuguru River, Kigelia Camp is an exclusive seasonal camp offering a tailor- made, private experience. The camp consists of six large, beautifully appointed double tents with a range of amenities. The meals are prepared to the highest standard using wholesome fresh produce - and there is plenty of it. Game- drives and photography are the order of the day here! Katavi National Park Katavi is one of the upcoming tourist attractions in Tanzania and has become part of the new ' western circuit'. It is unspoiled, raw and with unique attractions. Like the other western parks, Katavi's remoteness results in low visitor numbers and is ideal for those who prefer game-viewing in peace and solitude. This undiscovered wilderness is awash with plains game including elephant, leopard, giraffe, lion and zebra. This is a place for the wildlife connoisseur to see sable, roan antelope and puku. Birdwatching is also excellent, with over 400 species recorded. 74 SUGGESTED ITINERARY Day 1 Depart UK for Dar- es- Salaam Day 2 Selous, 3- nights, Rufi ji River Camp.
