Africa’s largest national park (formerly the Selous Game Reserve), reachable by short charter flight from Dar es Salaam. Four days that mix classic game drives, a Rufiji River boat safari (hippos, crocs, elephants drinking from the bank at sundown), and an optional walking safari with an armed ranger. Wild, lush, low-traffic — the southern circuit at its best.
