Dar es Salaam is a city that heaves with energy and emotion, belying its translated name of 'Haven of Peace'. Founded in the 1860s and so a relatively modern city when compared to other coastal settlements, its bustling streets and chaotic traffic may not be to everyone's taste and there is little within Dar itself to attract the visitor bar a museum or two, the Botanical Gardens, a couple of upmarket hotels and apparently the best restaurants in East Africa.
After arriving at Dar Es Salaam International Aiport you will be transferred to your hotel for 1 night.
After enjoying your morning breakfast, you will return to the airport for your scheduled flight to Ruaha National Park for 3 nights.
Ruaha National Park has been dubbed the undiscovered gem of Tanzania and is often called “Tanzania’s best kept secret”. Situated far off the beaten track, away from crazy camera clicking crowds this rough tract of wilderness pulsates the real energy of an Africa long-forgotten. Visitors come to Ruaha to enjoy the dramatic landscapes and abundance of wildlife, with well-maintained roads and few visitors. The central spine of the Park is the watershed between the Mzombe and the Great Ruaha River, with its dramatic escarpment above which are large stretches of miombo woodland. Below this lie undulating plains with vegetation ranging from dry bush country to treeless grasslands, swamps and evergreen forests intersected by the many sand rivers that are such a spectacular feature of this area.

After your morning drive and breakfast back at camp, you will head back to Msembe Airstrip to take a flight to the Selous Game Reserve. On landing at Beho Beho Airstrip, another warm welcome and a short drive to camp will see you arrive in time for high tea while enjoying the spectacular views of the Selous.

After spending time in the incredible Ruaha and Selous you will be taken back to the airstrip for your flight to Zanzibar.
Known as the Spice Island, the beautiful island of Zanzibar on Africa’s east coast is bursting with culture and history, seemingly at odds with its idyllic geography of white-sand beaches with palms swaying lazily in the sea breeze. Together this makes Zanzibar a fabulous place to explore as well as a dream to relax and unwind.
After your arrival at Zanzibar airport, your transfer will take you to Seacliff Resort & Spa for 4 nights.
