The sold out tour departs July 2nd
for a 14 days in Southern Tanzania which includes three nights camping
in both the Selous Game Reserve and Ruaha National Park and with shorter
stops in Mikumi and Udzungwa National Parks. With the help of my Dar
–based operator, I was able to add a two-day canoe safari on the Kilombero
River which lies west of the Selous Game Reserve. The canoe trip involves
paddling amongst hippos and crocs, fishing village visits, and fly camping
on the river banks at night. I can't wait. I love Southern Tanzania's
wilderness; you usually have it to yourself. Check my September newsletter
for a full trip report with photos.
Vancouver-based photographer and travel
show presenter William Jans is on board for this southern safari, after
which he travels north with me to hike from Mount Makarot to Lake Eyasi
and to spend time alone with the Maasai. His take - and it might be
a whacky one - on his Tanzanian adventures will come to venues across
Canada in 2008. William’s web site is www.wrjphoto.com.
