    Bush Walks, Selous Game Reserve to Dar es Salaam

    1 stop

    Selous Game Reserve

    Guided bush walks are entirely different here, sightseeing the miombo woodland environment with your guide. The walking safari is an exciting opportunity to get close to the animals and the best way to learn the intricacies of the African bush. Walking along the firmed trail through the African bushes is entirely different from game drives; being on foot brings about a new way of appreciating the natural environment. After breakfast, pack your bags and say farewell as you depart to Dar es Salaam to drop off at your hotel or airport.

    7 hours Admission ticket free
