This tour promises a fascinating insight into the lesser-known area of Southern Tanzania which encompasses two spectacular areas of untouched wilderness: Ruaha and Selous. As Selous is in such a remote location, it is most easily accessed by light aircraft. You will get a real sense of nature staying in intimate tented camps in Ruaha and Selous which are both splendidly located in areas with prime game viewing possibilities.
