Let's talk wildlife<\/span><\/h2><\/div>

Here, the wildebeest are blue, the predators are dogs (but they share the territory with cats), the zebras don't have the same stripes as their northern cousins, the greater kudu has found its refuge, and we are in the land of hippos, present in large numbers, everywhere. This is without mentioning the birds, of course very numerous here in these humid plains of Selous<\/a><\/b> and of Ruaha<\/a><\/b>.
\nThe safaris will be organised in \u00bd day or full day at your own pace in a 4X4 fully open, by boat or on foot depending on the park. It's a different approach to travel, and a haven for birdwatchers and botany enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Your highlights<\/span><\/h2><\/div>
<\/span><\/div>

TWO SOUTHERN PARKS<\/h3><\/div>

First, discover The Selous Game Reserve<\/a><\/b>listed by UNESCO. Then, set off for Ruaha National Park<\/a><\/b>, probably the most beautiful park in the country.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

A COMFORTABLE PACE<\/h3><\/div>

A trip with 2 \u2018drop-off points\u2019 to take your time and a magical charter plane ride.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

SEASON<\/h3><\/div>

The best period to visit is from June to the end of December. However, wild dogs are easier to see in January, during the rainy season.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/span><\/div>

AWAY FROM THE CROWDS<\/h3><\/div>

Here, even in high season, you will often be alone in the parks, as there is little tourism in the southern parks\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nature here is lush. The Rufiji River flows through the park, creating large expanses of water, swamps, where we concentrate our safaris. <\/p>\n<\/div>
