Boat & Canoe Safaris
Boating is a comfortable and relaxing way to enjoy the Tanzanian bush, offering a welcome alternative to classic game drives.
The Selous Game Reserve is famous for it's lakes and the Rufiji River, all of which can be explored by boat.
"Tanzania's seasonal changes and great diversity op species both contribute to an epic, one of a kind migratory drama among wildlife"
Tanzania is a land of many lakes and rivers traversing lands rich in wildlife. The rivers provide an excellent natural setting for boat safaris and canoeing, usually as an add-on to a game drive itinerary.
From the boat or canoe guests would have a different approach to viewing game and birding, not to mention the sheer thrill of cruising past hippos and other amphibian / riverine wildlife.
Boat safaris are popular on the Rufiji River in the Selous Game Reserve.
Boat safaris are also great for Big Game viewing. Most plains animals will from time to time visit the waters edge for a drink. Many of these species spend the majority of their time close to the waters edge, from where you will get a unique viewpoint of their activities. You may get to see the spectacular sight of a herd of elephants as it crosses a river or lake.
Then of course there are the animals that you would expect to see, such as hippopotamus and crocodiles. These two species usually live in close proximity without much interaction, but every now and then you may witness a fight, or see the consequences.
"A boat safari is a great way to see animals from a new perspective."
Gently floating downstream watching the wildlife approach you, and the water, rather than viewing it the other way, offers a different perspective and is an amazing experience.
