Walking Safari in Selous Game Reserve

Many of the safari camps in and around Selous Game Reserve offer their guests the opportunity to take part in a walking safari. Selous Riverside Camp on the banks of the Rufigi river are no different. The walks are relatively short lasting around 1-2 hours and covering no more than a mile or two. The terrain is usually fairly easy for most people and all the people on our walk wore trainers or similar comfortable shoes.

The walking safaris at Selous Riverside start early. We were woken up at 5.30am for a 6am start. There was just time for a quick cup of tea or coffee before boarding the vehicles to head for the days chosen walking location. As Selous Riverside is located outside the Selous National Park, we were also going to walk outside the park. Our destination was around 10-15 minutes away and we were soon on our way, heading through a nearby village and down one of the many side roads where we pulled over.

There was fairly thick vegetation all round us but paths that had been cleared by passing elephants and hippo were clearly visible so we followed these. Our group of 6 walkers was accompanied by an armed ranger and a local tracker. We were given a short briefing explaining procedures should we come across any wildlife and once everyone was happy, we set off. The ranger led the way and we all followed in single file with the tracker falling in behind.

Although it was fairly unlikely that we would come across any larger wildlife such as elephants or leopards mainly due to the noise we made, our ranger did tell us that he has seen a large selection of such animals during walks. This type of walking safari is more about the smaller things such as insects, plants and birds. The first item of interest we came across was a termite mound that stood at least 2 metres tall. The ranger explained that although the termite mound looked quite large, two-thirds of the system was underground. Quite impressive when you consider the size of the little creatures who built it.

The one inescapable sound was the almost deafening sound of cicadas which were all around us. Measuring between 1-2 inches, the cicada are similar to locusts and if you look closely, you'll see them all over the trees. They go through a 17 year life cycle and are preyed upon by pretty much everything in the wild. We were also shown plants like the Sausage Tree which takes its name from the sausage shaped fruit it produces. However, the fruit is much large than the traditional English breakfast sausage as it grows up to a metre in length and can weigh over 10kg.

The walk lasted for an hour and although it was all too easy to get the feeling it wasn't much different to a walk in a wood back in England, the occasional tracks we came across gave us a reminder that we were very much in Africa. Once back at the safari vehicle, we were soon on our way to camp for breakfast before heading out on another day on safari in the Selous Game Reserve.

Manyara, Tanzania - Big Game

A Tanzania safari in Manyara is an experience you will cherish forever. For a relatively small area at 125 square miles its diversity rivals any other region in Africa. The land diversity as well as animal and plant life diversity has made this area a favorite of safari goers who revisit often. The combination of steep mountainsides, valleys and the Rift Valley soda lake make this one of the most interesting displays of terrain in all of Africa! The unique landscape is home to all sorts of animals and plant life. There are even hot springs in the area and a ground water forest.

Lake Manyara is probably most famous for the fact that the park was put aside for the preservation of elephant herds. In fact, the area is well known for its elephants and tree climbing lions. You heard me right! Tree climbing lions make the region their home. No safari in Africa can be complete without seeing a lion or two!

There are also some other truly African animals that live in Manyara. For instance, you can expect to see vervet and blue monkeys, Impala and Maasai giraffe. All of these species are now protected but years ago the region was a favorite of big game hunters. Ernest Hemingway was inspired by the vastness of game and verdant landscape and wrote the book The Green Hills of Africa based on the area.

If you are a bird person then Manyara is definitely for you. For anyone who sets their safari holidays around looking for birds the park is an absolute paradise. There are more than 400 species of birds, more than most areas of Tanzania. You can expect to see all manner of waterfowl, migrants, and last but not least, the elegant flamingos! This is one of the best kept birding secrets in Tanzania and indeed all of Africa and should be a part of anyone's safari travel vacation.

Manyara is undeniably a great place to see everything African. This Africa safari promises lounging lions hanging out in trees, elephants galore, monkeys, giraffes and Impalas, and so much more! It's like living your own National Geographic TV show! Except you will be the star, with some very wild co stars lol! Certainly a trip to this region of the continent will provide you with stories and adventures you will not soon forget or be able to recreate anywhere else in the world.

Fun, excitement and memories lie in wait for all! Enjoy!

Having felt the impact of the economy slow down, Krischanok Chansin, a local tour operator on Kata Beach Phuket, started to look for other opportunities for a supplementary career to help her and family weather the difficult times. Krischanok decided to join the traditional Thai massage training course hoping to gain experience and carry out work to supplement the family income. voice *** at present the tour business is quiet, so I decided to take the aromatherapy course as I see it is still in demand.
