Elephant Tracking
The highlight of this safari is the opportunity to observe Tanzania’s elephant herds that live in the remote and pristine wilderness of Selous Game Reserve. With overnights at the Rufiji River Camp, perfectly positioned on a low cliff above the Rufiji River, the camp offers wonderful views from the terrace of the bar overlooking the water below. This safari allows you to participate in classic style game drives as well as boat and walking safaris.
