Fact File
Combining a safari in Selous with a beach stay in Zanzibar is a popular
option for discerning travellers, and this is exactly what Mr and Mrs
Clayton chose to do on their visit to Tanzania.
They arrived in Selous in time for lunch which was followed by an
afternoon game drive. For three nights they stayed at the Riverside
Safari Camp in Selous. The Camp, hidden in dense forest on the banks
of the Rufiji River, is lavishly furnished and provides high levels of
comfort and luxury. The tented chalets are quite large and carefully
placed to ensure privacy.
In Selous there are bush walks and safaris by boat, in addition to
daytime game drives included in the activities. Such varied ways of
exploring the bush enabled the couple, by road, to see herds of
elephants, zebras, impalas, buffaloes and lions, but most interestingly –
no other vehicles. When they took to the boat they drifted past pods
of hippos and literally hundreds of crocodiles and an amazing array of
birdlife, and on foot they witnessed the micro details of the smaller
animals which make up such a fascinating eco-system.
After the excitement of a safari, it is only a short one hour flight to
Zanzibar, the spice island famed for its idyllic beaches, coral reefs and
excellent dive sites. The couple chose the Sandies Neptune Pwani
Beach on the eastern coast of the island, to relax and enjoy the range
of all inclusive facilities the hotel provides. It was a super choice as the
weather in August, when they travelled, is ideal, with hot days, clear
skies and the inviting, warm waters of the Indian Ocean, a divers
paradise! An ideal way to unwind after the wildlife of Selous.
The return early morning flight to Dar es Salaam was only 20 minutes.
