Boat Safari

Experience a new way of viewing game on safari in Tanzania by taking a boat trip either on the rivers in the south of Tanzania, or on the calm Lake Victoria in the north.

In southern Tanzania, explore the intricate waterways that run through Selous, Africa’s largest game reserve. Aboard a carefully modified boat, guests can explore the wilderness like never before. Watch hippo and crocodile going about their day, soaking in the cool waters or basking in the sun.  

While floating beneath overhanging bushes bursting with birdlife, you may spot intricately woven weaver’s nests and flashes of dazzling colour as birds dart in and out. Cast a line to try your luck fishing, or simply sit back in the comfort of your chair and gaze through your binoculars at the many waterbirds that inhabit the lakes and rivers. Edge around families of elephant and herds of zebra as they come to the river to drink.  

TIPS & TRICKS

Pack light, comfortable clothing, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, binoculars, a camera, and sturdy walking shoes. Also, bring layers for cooler mornings and evenings.
