Summary:

This fourteen day safari leaves no stone unturned on the southern and western circuits. Beginning in Ruaha, some of the prettiest bush in Africa, you move next to Katavi, easily some of the remotest bush, followed by Mahale National Park on Lake Tanganyika. Mahale is like nowhere else in Tanzania: after spending a vigorous day chimpanzee trekking in the rugged mountains of the park you relax on the peaceful sandy shores of the lake. Swimming, snorkelling, canoeing and fishing are all popular activities at Mahale. You complete the safari with four days in the Selous Game Reserve, one of Africa's largest conservation areas, and home to a diversity of wildlife. Selous is the only place in Tanzania where boating safaris are available and one of the few places in Tanzania where such excellent bush walking is available. Safaris don't get any better than this. You return to Dar es Salaam on Day Fifteen.
