Choose from the Selous Game Reserve, Ruaha National Park and Mikumi National Park - exclusive safaris offered by Wild Footprints.
45,000 square kilometers in size, there is no vacation long enough to cover the Selous Game Reserve. It all depends on the time you have to spare for a venture into this vast wildlife reserve… anything from 3-10 days can be personalized for you. The Selous is home to some of the densest populations of big game such as elephant, hippo, buffalo & crocodile. There are abundant species of game, birds and plants to be seen and some exciting fishing to be enjoyed. The Selous is rich in history and the remote wilderness always instills a sense of going back in time.
Ruaha is second only to the Serengeti in size. The Ruaha River which flows through the park is a wildlife magnet, especially during the dry season when it is the only source of water. Survival of the fittest is played out on a daily basis and water is the driving force. Situated in central Tanzania, there is a mix of northern and southern species that is not found elsewhere. Kudu, Roan, Gazelle, Sable, Dikdik are found in large numbers along with Buffalo, Elephant, Lion, Leopard and many more. A 3–7 day safari is suitable for Ruaha and can be personalized for you. Tanzania’s central highlands will remind you that although seemingly abundant and thriving, wildlife is exactly what it is – wild!
One of the most underrated parks in the country. A comfortable four hour drive from Dar es salaam and you are among herds of animals. Facilities are first class and four of the big five are resident in the park along with plenty of other species. Being so close to Dar es salaam, even a one night excursion is worthwhile, but anything from 3-5 days is a more appropriate stay. Mikumi is typical of southern Tanzania’s terrain, but with more open spaces. It is easy to get around and offers good visibility of game. It is an exciting and affordable game viewing safari with all the makings of the more famous northern parks.
